AUTO TRANSPORT OVERVIEW
Transporting an auto instead of driving it is useful in many facets. Direct Connect® Auto Transport works in many types of auto shipping and transport capacities, as we work with car dealer delivery, classic and vintage car delivery, corporate relocation, and any other reason that a person or business would need to move a car efficiently and safely from one area to another. We feature three types of transporting carriers to ensure that your vehicle or vehicles arrive safely at their destination. Our clients have the ability to choose from an enclosed carrier, an open auto carrier, or flatbed truck transport. Standard vehicle transportation from one place to another typically would use the open car carrier, but sometimes vehicles need special care. Those with classic or unique & valuable automobiles may want to opt for an enclosed carrier. As a premium service, this specialized trailer service costs more but protects vehicles from the elements, including possible wind and weather damage. Construction or oversized vehicles that require transportation can use flatbed truck trailers for shipping. Not limited to the dimensions of an open or enclosed auto carrier, this shipping option can easily move an oddly shaped or large vehicle nationwide.
AUTOMOBILE SHIPPING
Driving a vehicle from one place to another over a long distance is simply not an option for many. From a family with two cars who are moving across the country, to a soldier who needs to ship his or her car home from the Middle East, having the vehicle transported often becomes a necessity. When you ship a vehicle with Direct Connect Auto Transport, you can track your shipment in real time, just as if you were shipping a package with the postal service or a package handler. Autos can be shipped within the mainland U.S., to U.S. ports outside of the contiguous states such as Hawaii, or even overseas. Direct Connect can provide door-to-door shipping, meaning that we pick up your vehicle at your front door, and bring it safely to its destination. We can also ship several cars at one time if need be. This can be a useful practice for those who want to ship valuable automobiles after purchasing them from a car auction or other resale venue. All vehicles are automatically insured under liability laws, so in the rare event of damage, there is never any concern that you are a fault. Auto-shipping is a safe and secure way to get vehicles where they need to be reliably and efficiently.
CAR SHIPPING
As a person who may be moving cross-country, or simply a person who needs to transport a car from one place to another, you may ask, “why would I want to go to all of the trouble of shipping a car when I could simply drive it?” Good question. Benefits of shipping a car include avoiding the wear and tear on an automobile for a long trip. Imagine a person moving from New England to California. A family with one car may be looking at a truck rental to move, but that means the other person has to drive the automobile, perhaps adding extra hours to the trip, since both must stop to rest. A family with two cars may contemplate hauling a trailer, but damages that may occur on a cross-country trailer with a hitch are much more probable than on a car encapsulated in a durable auto transport truck. Also, insurance on any Direct Connect Auto Transport vehicle ensures you that no matter what, your vehicle is covered. Overall, shipping a car vs. driving it is cheaper, more efficient, and less time-consuming.
MOTORCYCLE SHIPPING
Whether you are moving, taking an extended trip, or need to get your motorcycle to the other side of the state or the other side of the world, Direct Connect® Auto Transport can help you ship your motorcycle easily and efficiently. Similarly to cars, it usually doesn’t make much sense to try to ride a motorcycle for an extended move. Also, many collectors buy classic or vintage motorcycles online, and shipping is a necessity when it comes to purchasing their vehicles. We also work closely with motorcycle dealers who may have to ship multiple motorcycles at one time. We ship nearly any type of motorcycle imaginable, including choppers, Supermoto bikes, cruisers, rally bikes, and dirt bikes. With Direct Connect Auto Transport, you have a damage-free guarantee when we ship your bike, in addition to real-time tracking, and 24-hour a day, 7 day a week customer service. Track your vehicle as if it were a package or parcel in real-time, and reach out to us any time of day or night if there is ever a problem.
Adjustments can be costly, but can mostly be avoided with accurate information.
Common adjustments occur around oversized items (more than 12 feet in length), lift-gates,
limited delivery access, residential fees, reclassifications and changes to the bill of lading.
The bill of lading (BOL) acts as an invoicing receipt in the shipping industry, and with many
motor carriers, the BOL is the contract of carriage between that motor carrier and the shipper.
It includes important information related to the shipment such as addresses, packaging type,
freight class, description of the goods and any special instructions.
