Can my vehicle be
picked up before noon on the day I am leaving? |
 |
We strongly advise
against this arrangement, as leaving the auto pick up until the
last minute can cause undue stress at an already stressful time.
Careful, advance planning and pick up minimizes stress and
provides for a smooth, uneventful relocation. In the event that
there are no other options and this is the ONLY time you are
available to release the vehicle, we will arrange for a local
flatbed to pick up the vehicle as early in the day as possible. |

I want to leave the
cover on my boat during
transport, is this ok? |
|
|
|
It is not recommended.
Your boat will be safely transported without the cover. The
cover must be removed prior to transport, as the wind can cause
chafing and damage on the boat's surface and will also tear the
cover. Insurance does not cover the tarp or related damage. |

I have replaced some of the
manufacturer
furnishings in my mobile home with some full size furniture. Can
these items remain in the home during transport? |
|
|
|
Unfortunately no,
anything other than manufacturer installed furnishings must be
removed prior to transport. This requirement is strictly adhered
to, to ensure the safe transport of your home |

Why does it take "X" number of
workings days to
move my car? |
|
|
|
Law only allows our
drivers to drive 550 miles per day. They must have at least one
day off per week, known as down time, to rest. Therefore, transit
times are based on working or calendar days. |

Why can the
household goods mover get my
furniture to me in a week and it takes you longer to deliver my
car? |
|
|
|
Depending on the size of your household goods
shipment, your delivery time will vary with the van line as well.
If you have a large load that takes up the majority of the truck,
your household goods can get there in the time it takes for the
driver to drive there. A car carrier has up to 8 - 10 spots on the
carrier. Different vehicle owners can occupy all of these spots.
With that, the driver has to make up to ten stops along his route.
In some cases, your vehicle could be the last vehicle that fills
up that carrier, thus making the transit time shorter because the
driver will not have to wait to fill his load. |

Can I fill my car with boxes or
clothes? |
|
|
|
It
is not suggested. Our insurance only covers the vehicle. It does
not cover any personal belongings left inside. Shipping those
items with a household goods carrier is the best way to make sure
they arrive safely. Items that are left inside the car during
shipment will bounce around and could get damaged or they could
damage the vehicle interior. Also, the carrier must be weighed at
the Department of Transportation (DOT) weigh stations. If the
carrier is considered over weight, the DOT officer has the right
to ask the driver to discard any such items to lower the weight of
the carrier or the driver will be ticketed and fined. |

How will my vehicle be
moved? |
|
|
|
We move all vehicles on car carriers, the same way the
vehicle moved from the factory to the new car
dealership. Every care and precaution is taken to be
sure your car arrives at its destination in the same
shape as it was when picked up. |

Is my vehicle going to be
driven? |
|
|
|
No. Your
vehicle will only be driven on and off the car carrier. Therefore,
only a ¼ tank of gas is needed for shipment. |
