Moving Season is in The Air

Well summer is just around the corner. In some places you wouldnt know it by the absensce of warmer weather. But, it is and that means moving season is here, again. it may not be as busy as last year due to a slower economy. However, that may trigger more moves. Taking on new jobs, foreclosures, college break and new family ventures spring moving companies into action every year around this time.

Our advise is no different this year.

1.Always compare 3 or more moving services before deciding on a mover or auto transport company.

2. Read your agreement carefully and know the terms. Know the refund policy, and all the costs of transporting or moving goods. Accept no verbal agreements.

3.Research the moving service you have chosen carefully to maek sure you are hiring a reputable moving company.

4, Enjoy your new adventure!

So You Want To Be An Auto Transporter?

Have an extra truck, car carrier or perhaps a enclosed car trailer laying around? Think you can make some extra money hauling cars with them? Think again. Lots of people think its as easy as just driving the car carriers back and forth. What many drivers don't realize is before doing so you need proper insurance, licenses and operating authority like USDOT # to be a professional and legal auto transporter.

While its a great opportunity to put that car delivery equipment and your truck driving skills to use, get your ducks in a row first and you will save yourself many hassles form the law. The things you should get inline before picking up even one vehicle first are as follows:


1. Required liability and cargo insurance for carriers

2. Apply & approval of DOT number and or bond (if auto transport broker& carrier)

3. Proper equipment

4. A place to find loads like central dispatch for carriers, hauling depot for auto transport brokers.
