Understanding transit time

Understanding the transit time of a vehicle being shipped can reduce confusion by both parties involved. Some times when individuals are moving cars for the first time, the time it takes to deliver the car can seem to long or too quick. The time of transportation can largely be effected by the auto transport company you hired to move the car. This means that if you received a quote that is too low for the distance of the trip it would be safe to say that your vehicle will sit at the pick up location until a carrier with an open spot can load it. Each spot on the carrier’s trailer represents a dollar value that must be meet to fund the expensive of fuel and labor. This is one factor that is really the most important factor to consider when shipping cars. If you are looking for the cheapest price to ship your vehicle from coast to coast and you need it done fast, there’s a good chance this auto transport will take longer then one that is paying more for the same route.

Another factor that can determine the transit time can be the route of transportation. Most state to state moves have many drivers that run these routes, but few states have less traffic from carriers because there is less cargo to drop off or pick up. For this reason some routes may take a little longer then others, but still always make it.

Keep this information in mind next time you are looking to ship cars.
