No upfront payment to book

Ready to move forward? Accept your quote and complete our booking questionnaire to provide the remaining shipment details.

No upfront payment is required to request a quote or submit your initial booking request. We’ll review your information, confirm the arrangements, and explain the payment schedule before proceeding with carrier dispatch.

No need to commit before you understand the transportation arrangements.

Step 3 of 6

Carrier assignment & dispatch

Once your booking is confirmed, our logistics team begins coordinating with our nationwide network of licensed and insured carriers to find the right transporter for your shipment.

We consider your route, vehicle or cargo specifications, availability, and requested pickup timeframe.

Once a carrier is assigned, we’ll share the relevant carrier and driver information, confirm the pickup arrangements, and explain the applicable payment terms.

Step 4 of 6

Pickup & vehicle inspection

Your assigned carrier will arrive at the agreed pickup location within the scheduled pickup window.

Before loading, the driver and customer complete a condition inspection. Existing scratches, dents, and other visible damage are documented on the Bill of Lading (BOL).

Both parties should review the inspection report before signing. Once the vehicle or shipment is loaded, transportation begins.

We’ll notify you when pickup is completed.

Step 5 of 6

In transit: status updates

Your shipment is on its way! During transportation, our team remains available to assist with updates and communication. You can contact us or your assigned carrier to check on the progress of your shipment.

Delivery estimates depend on the distance, route, weather, road conditions, and carrier schedule. We’ll keep you informed of any important changes.

Step 6 of 6

Final delivery & inspection

As your shipment approaches its destination, the carrier will coordinate the delivery arrangements with you.

Upon arrival, inspect your vehicle or shipment carefully and compare its condition with the original pickup inspection documented on the Bill of Lading.

If everything is in order, complete the delivery paperwork and settle any remaining payment due according to your confirmed booking terms.
