Preparing Your Car.
Before vehicle transport carriers are permitted to go anywhere with your vehicle, they are required by the DOT to do a daily "Pre-Trip Inspection" of the equipment. We strongly suggest that you also do a Inspection of your car. In preparing for any transport, it is important to check items such as tire pressure, oil & water levels, other fluid levels, etc. This inspection could help in avoiding problems down the road, not to mention that it is a good idea to be familiar with your car. Loose moldings and the like have a tendency to fly off in shipping, thus causing possible damage to your vehicle or to others on the same load. Leaking fluids can also be a detriment to the welfare of your car and/or the car below it. Please have any and all repairs done before transport. Vehicles that become inoperable in transport are subject to an inoperable charge up to $100.00. It is also adviced that you have no more than 1/4 tank of gas in your vehicle at time of transport for weight reasons.
Bill of Lading
Regarding Your Bill of Lading. The Uniform Straight Bill of Lading is a document which allows us to carry your car from state to state. This form will be used at the time of pickup and delivery and it will be the governing documentation regulating the transport of your car. PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY. At the time we pick up your vehicle, we will make a thorough physical inspection of the exterior of your car. Any and all visible markings noted will be documented on the Bill of Lading. PLEASE REVIEW ANY MARKINGS NOTED ON THE BILL OF LADING PRIOR TO RELEASING YOUR CAR TO THE DRIVER. Any questions regarding your inspection should be directed to the driver. In addition, ANY CLAIM FOR AUTO TRANSPORT DAMAGE MUST BE NOTED AT THE TIME OF DELIVERY.on the truck. Less vehicles to transport equal faster delivery time for every car.
