It's been a while since we published this blog post. Some of the information may be outdated (for example, some images may be missing, and some links may not work anymore).
Auto haulers are typically on the road a lot to make use of their most expensive asset — the truck and trailer. The more an auto transporter can work a truck, the more cheaply they can afford to transport vehicles. With trucks on the road so much of the time, anything that delays them, such as a paperwork problem at pick-up, a late customer, a flat tire, or long weigh station lines, can cause delays in your pick-up and delivery times.
Due to the risk of delays, you should be skeptical of any car shipping company that provides you with an exact pick-up time. Most car shipping companies give you a 3-day window for pick-up. And if there are any delays, they should inform you ahead of time.
