|
| Vehicle Inspections |
|
|
|

When the destination is reached, again the delivery Bill of Lading must be signed by both. Now the vehicle is checked for any damages.

|
| Estimated Pick Up and Delivery Date Windows |
|
|
|
Extra pick ups and deliveries can not be guaranteed due to the state by state taxation and inspections on car carrier transportation, and the stringent auto shipping safety laws of the Department of Transportation, governing the specifics and peculiarities of auto shipping, auto moving, auto transport, car shipping, car moving, car transport, auto relocation and vehicle transportation. If a company makes you believe that the pickup or delivery is provided on an exact date then you will be disappointed. The truth is, though the picking up and delivery is promised to be completed in a specific period of time, many hindrances out of the truck driver's control can affect the time schedule.
Also check if the delivery is door to door, if not, get the details of delivery so that you can plan for picking up your vehicle at an appropriate place and at an appropriate time. |
