The auto shipping industry is unique. So it demands a unique customer experience. In the auto shipping world, two distinct groups of shipping specialists are in constant negotiation; the brokers and the carriers. In order to get your vehicle transported, you’ll need to team up with a broker to find the best carrier for the job. we call this the Client-Broker Alliance.
Through this back and forth exchange with a national network of carriers competing for your business, USA CarShip will ensure that shipping your vehicle is easy and affordable for you.
When many vehicles wait for transportation on a route with limited Carriers being available, then prices for transportation start to increase due to the bidding wars that may occur between customers who want their vehicle loaded first as a priority shipment.
Shorter distances are more economical overall but are charged at a higher rate per mile. Longer distances are more expensive overall but are charged at a lower rate per mile.
Inoperable vehicles will require special equipment for loading purposes. It’s important that your inoperable vehicle can still roll, steer and brake in order for it to be loaded with a winch. These vehicles will cost more to ship.
Special accommodation must be made for vehicles which are heavier, longer or taller than the average sedan. These vehicles will therefore be more expensive to ship.
Place An Order
Once you book USA CarShip as your Broker, our Dispatch Department will start working on your order. Your Advisor will inform you when Carriers express interest in shipping your vehicle. As these are merely offers, you are not obliged to accept any bid that does not meet your schedule or budget priorities.
Book Your Carrier
Once you accept an offer, a Shipping Agreement will be finalized and your spot reserved with the Carrier. All terms will be outlined in this document for your review and signature.
Confirm Pick-up
A Dispatch Notice provides all contact information for your Carrier. It is recommended that you call your Carrier prior to the pickup date to confirm all arrangements directly with the Driver they’ve assigned to you. Your USA CarShip Advisor is available should you need any additional assistance.
