Each tractor/trailer combination is unique. In order to be within DOT regulations, weights cannot exceed 12,000 lbs on the steering axle, 34,000 lbs on the tractor tandem axles, 34,000 lbs. on the trailer tandem axles, and 80,000 lbs. total gross weight. It is entirely possible for a truck to have much less than 80,000 total gross weight but be overweight on an axle.

Larger vehicles take up much more space on a transport truck than traditional passenger vehicles. Because of their dimensions, these vehicles take up the amount of space normally used for two vehicles, thus resulting in the need for an incremental increase in the fee. Full-size trucks and vans along with various other vehicles fit into this category. Vehicles with oversized characteristics and commercial vehicles may also have an additional fee imposed depending on the level they are oversized.
All of our drivers are required to have $1,000,000 in auto liability insurance, cargo insurance, and a 95% or higher customer satisfaction rating. Our knowledge in the various modes of auto transportation helps to ensure that your vehicle(s) are being transported using the appropriate equipment for your situation.
We recommend against this as the Federal and State Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations prohibit the transport of household items in vehicles being transported by auto carriers. These items are not covered by carrier’s insurance. Any damage to your vehicle due to household goods shifting or breaking is also not covered. Personal belongings left in the vehicle are shipped strictly at the owner’s risk. Carriers will not inventory any belongings left in the vehicle and will assume no responsibility. Items packed in the vehicle will also add weight that may cause damage to the vehicle. Under NO circumstances can the car contain firearms, hazardous materials, illegal substances, or contraband.
Yes! However, because special equipment is needed to move the vehicle, an additional fee may apply.
No additional paperwork is needed to ship your vehicle.
Absolutely! Your vehicle is fully insured during transit by general carrier liability insurance.

Oil drips onto convertible tops are not covered by the carrier’s insurance. You may request your vehicle be transported via enclosed trailer during the order process.
