How will an auto transportation company handle my
vehicle if it is a large one? Is it going to affect the price I
need to pay to transport it?
Yes,
in the car shipping business size does matter. If
your vehicle is in the LARGER section it means that it will cost
more than smaller vehicles to transport along the same route.
Minivans, trucks and utility vehicles are all larger than a regular
cars. Not only bigger in size but also are much heavier. Large
vehicles are much more difficult to load on and off a car hauler.
It takes many years of experience to be able to place a vehicle
like Ford F150 on a car hauler. Transporting such large vehicles
can put more drag on the auto transport truck they're being shipped
on (as we all know those trucks are not HIGHLY aerodynamic). Due to
the fact that large vehicles are much heavier than regular cars,
the diesel consumption of the truck will be much different. More
weight on the trailer will cause at least a 25% increase in fuel
consumption (which can be thousands of dollars). That's why we
offer one of THE BEST offers regardless of your vehicle size. At
Van 3 Auto Transport we know that we have to ship vehicles at
reasonable prices in order to keep our 100% customer satisfaction.

In the auto transportation industry, shipping larger vehicles can
be a long and stressful. The main reason is that they are harder to
load and unload, almost all of them are taller than average
vehicles like vans, minivans and cargos. The additional height that
larger vehicles add to our trucks makes it impossible to for out
trucks to go under some bridges. This leads to complications for
the truck drivers trying to get in or get out of certain areas,
which is why this kind of shipment is more expensive. Tall vehicles
may cause problems when they are loaded on the carrier because they
are harder to fit on the trailer, especially if there is more than
one of them.Vehicles that are lifted (have lift kits or
modification) are more expensive to transport. Customers should
tell the car shipping company about these
modifications before the car is picked up so that the
transportation company can send a truck with the proper equipment.
If you do not tell the transportation company that your vehicle has
been modified, this may cause a big problem. The trucker may not be
able to pick up your vehicle and this could mean that your vehicle
will not be picked up within your desired time frame.
Deciding shipping something that's
tremendously tall (construction pieces equipment) it will require a
flatbed transporter carrier. Minivans, cargos and
trucks (even if they are lifted somehow) require just a
standard open carrier, but some of them are
somehow bigger for a regular shipping to handle. Flatbed
transportation is something that is EXTREMELY specialized and
simple it's not something available upon request. Flatbed
transportation is the most expensive one and it requires some time
to be set up. If your vehicle requires flatbed transport be
prepared to wait some time and the most important thing: to be
patient.
