How Commercial Truck
Transport Works

1 Step

Compare Rates & Book A Company You Liked

We recommend that you request a quote for shipping your commercial truck ahead of time. Carrier companies that specialize in such shipments typically schedule their routes a few weeks in advance.

You'll need some time to negotiate the details and give the shipping agent all the information they need, including the addresses, unique characteristics of the truck, and dimensions.

2 Step

Prepare Your Commercial Truck & Provide It To A Driver

It's time to get the vehicle ready for shipping once you've determined the exact shipping date and have all of the driver's information, including his name and phone number.

If you are unsure of the precise steps that must be taken, we advise you to check with your shipping agent and carrier. They can give you advice on how to ship your commercial truck safely.

3 Step

Receive Your Truck Safe & Sound

Of course, you will know the projected drop-off date ahead of time, but the driver will phone you a day before delivery to negotiate the specific time.

When the truck is loaded off the trailer, we recommend that you examine all of the vehicle's details if it was dismantled to ensure that everything was carried properly, and then sign the Condition report. In order to aid future customers in making the best decision, you may also write a review for the shipping company after shipment.

FAQ

We’ve got some answers to the questions you may have. In case you haven’t found the proper solution, don’t hesitate to contact us.

When is the best time to book the shipment?

The best time to schedule transportation is a month ahead of the available shipment dates. However, you may request and begin preparing the shipping as soon as you know the pick-up and drop-off destinations and the truck you will transport (in case you are planning to buy it).

What is the cost of truck transportation?

Because no two truck shipments are the same, costs differ a lot, shipping experts gather all details specific to your move and use the following variables to determine an accurate truck transport cost: truck type, truck dimensions, condition of truck, attachments, route, schedule and pickup/delivery location.

Is the shipping weight important when requesting a quote?

The size and weight of the vehicle are crucial because they impact the price and the type of trailer required for commercial truck shipment.

How can I be confident that the driver has insurance?

All of the carriers we work with have extensive expertise and are properly insured. However, you can also request the driver's MC number and verify the insurance data on the FMCSA website.

Can you transport the vehicle overseas?

Yes, we can ship your vehicle overseas using one of four methods: roll-on/roll-off, flat rack, container shipment, or lift-on/lift-off (used for shipping non-operable vehicles).

Can another person accept the truck on my behalf?

It's possible in case if the carrier has been awarded this in advance and the person can pay for the delivery or the delivery has been paid upfront.
