OPEN car shipping

An open trailer is the most common type of transport used and a reliable option for Tennessee car shipping near you. With open transport, cars can easily be arranged and quickly loaded and unloaded, making this option efficient and cost-effective. With open trailer transport, vehicles are not protected from weather and road conditions and may accumulate a bit of dirt during their journey, which is to be expected.

ENCLOSED car shipping

Enclosed transport is best for classic, exotic or luxury cars as well as motorcycles and powersports. Vehicles with low ground clearance may also require enclosed shipping, as the driver may need a hydraulic lift gate or ramp to load them onto the truck. Enclosed transport protects your vehicle from most weather and road hazards, offering additional peace of mind when shipping your prized possession.

The bill of lading (BOL) is a legal document that will specify exactly what vehicle is to be transported from location A to location B and by whom. It will document the condition of the vehicle before it is turned over to the trucker at pickup and then document the condition again before it is turned over to the owner at delivery. The bill of lading serves as the contract between the trucker and the vehicle owner and includes the terms of that agreement.
