How truck shipping works
The truck shipping process can be explained in a few simple steps: quote and book your order, vehicle pickup, transit and delivery. After you book your truck shipping services with a reliable auto transport company, your truck will be assigned to a carrier best suited for your shipping needs.
On your pickup date, a carrier will load and secure your truck onto a transport trailer and haul it to its destination. Upon delivery, the truck driver will meet you at an agreed-upon location to safely unload your vehicle. We will keep you updated on your vehicle’s status throughout the entire shipment process.
How truck shipping rates are calculated
Shipping rates for trucks are determined by several factors, including:
- Year, make and model
- Transport mileage and route
- Modifications made to the truck
