Auto transporters "window" Pick Up

Last week we discussed hot to arrange an auto transport pick up and if you would not be there in person to meet the driver. This week we will focus on the time window auto transport companies give when booking your car transport. Many times the shipping companies will give a 5 day window for car shipping unless express auto shipping is ordered or guaranteed pick up times.

This 5 day window is to cover the auto shipper who actually picks up the vehicle. Due to many factors such as traffic, weather and equipment problems its common place to give this 5 days. Basically what it mean is that you will be called a few hours before the driver arrives to pick up the car for transport so you can prepare. Some drivers can give up to 1 days notice but some is only a few hours. Discuss the details with your auto transport broker or carrier.
