Auto Transport Trailer Freight
Explore freight options for single- and multi-vehicle auto trailers. Vehicle dimensions, loading requirements, and route availability require confirmation.
Vehicle transport requires a loading plan for each vehicle, including dimensions, running condition, ground clearance and securement points. The trailer's number of positions is not a guarantee that every vehicle combination will fit.
Who this equipment is suited for
Cars, pickups, SUVs, vans or other approved vehicles that fit the selected carrier's deck, ramp, clearance and weight limits.

Frequently asked questions
Can an inoperable vehicle be transported?
Sometimes, if the carrier has suitable winch or loading capability and the vehicle's condition is disclosed and accepted.
Can I leave personal items in the vehicle?
Policies vary and personal items may be excluded or uninsured. Confirm the carrier's written policy before pickup.
What is the condition report for?
It records vehicle condition at pickup and delivery and helps distinguish pre-existing damage from damage reported after transport.
