I work in the auto shipping industry, and I know the kinds of questions that people ask. I know what people want to know, what they want to see, how they want their car shipped. But, as a customer, many people don't realize the implications that those requests come with, and the burdens that are placed on the auto transport company. Many times your requests take time and effort away from your move, and can ultmately lead to more money out of your pocket and more time waiting for your car. So, here are some tips to help you, the customer, make your transport experience pleasant.
Don't put stuff in your car.
Often times, people will leave boxes of clothes or knick-knacks in the back seat of the car. This makes sense, seeing as how they're all heading to the same place, but in reality it's harder for the trucking companies to deal with that because they aren't licensed to carry those knick-knacks or clothes. But, you can haul up to 100 lbs in the trunk only. This is because trucks don't care about your "junk in the trunk," as long as they can't see it. If they can't see it, they aren't responsible for it because they don't "know about it," see?
So, don't make the mistake of leaving stuff in your car. Put it in the trunk!
I'll be back with more tips about making your auto transport experience quick and painless.
