Reliability in Auto Shipping

If you are concerned with the reliability of your automobile shipping company, you can do several things to find out just how good of a shipper you found. For starters, customer reviews are a great way to see how good your shipper is; you can also visit the FMCSA (Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration) and read up about your hired auto shipping company. All you need to look up your shipping company via the FMCSA website is their MC number, or Motor Carrier number, which you should be able to find on their website or on Transport Reviews. This is a great way to find out how good your company is, and if you find them lacking you can fill out our free online quote request form and get multiple free quotes from 100% reliable companies - we make sure all our affiliates are top-notch.

Automobile Shipping Quotes: Chevy Corvette

If you're looking for automobile shipping quotes to transport a Chevrolet Corvette, you should probably be looking at enclosed transportation quotes unless your Corvette is wrecked or in need of body repairs. The Corvette is one of those vehicles that you should try to ship enclosed if you can - open transportation is good, but not good enough for the Corvette, at least in this humble writer's opinion. Ultimately it's up to you - open transport is cheaper and more cost-effective, but enclosed transportation will protect your Corvette a lot better and will allow it to arrive in pristine condition. You can get free auto shipping quotes for either open or enclosed transportation by filling out our free form either way, though, and you can also read more about the Corvette by visiting our Chevy Corvette Automobile Shipping page.

City Spotlight: Car Transport to Akron

Akron currently is the fifth-largest city in the state of Ohio, though it is actually a popular auto shipping location despite its smaller size. Akron is and has been a major manufacturing and transportation hub in the state of Ohio, and auto shippers still like to travel the many routes that run through the city. Customer numbers are always high coming in and going out of Akron, and as such many shippers find that including the smaller city on their pre-determined routes helps bolster shipping numbers and is more beneficial, in the long run, than not including it at all. You can get free shipping quotes to or from Akron by filling out our free online quote form and you can also read more about the city itself by visiting our Auto Shipping to Akron page on our website.

The FAQ's: Door-to-Door Automobile Shipping

Door-to-door automobile shipping is the primary method of transportation that shippers will use. Door-to-door is different than terminal-to-terminal because with door-to-door transportation, the carrier will arrive right at your door at your house to pick your vehicle up and deliver it right to your new door at the destination. Now, when we say "at your door" we truly mean "as close as humanly possible to the pickup/delivery address you provided" because there are many places that auto shippers can't fit their trucks into. If this is the case with your shipment, chances are the carrier will tell you to meet him at a nearby large parking lot - it's easier to load and unload with plenty of space and it will allow the carrier plenty of room to maneuver his truck.
