We always tell customers that time and money move vehicles. The more time you give us the less money it will cost. You are giving us time to screen out carriers. Maybe more space available that can take a larger vehicle for the price of its factory original dimensions.

Not Properly Representing the Vehicle can Cost You Time and Money

So let’s say it does. But then after getting a quote with one company or on a call to somebody else that information is omitted. They represented as a factory original or lightly modified. You ends up getting you a better price. Once you go cheaper quote, the truck driver states that can’t get it. The carrier doesn’t have room for yours because he knows the dimensions and size of a standard truck or SUV. As a result, planned for those dimensions. A carrier will have planned a load that uses 100% of the space already. This to make sure they maximize their use of that carrier.

Unfortunately oversized vehicles and modified vehicles can be more. The carrier may need to take one less car or a compact vehicle that pays less to take something oversized. In many cases some carriers can’t take a extra tall vehicle.

The Average Truck Transport

At this point the price begins to get steeper because your truck can take the space of two compact vehicles on a trailer and the carrier would want to make up the difference especially in areas where there is an abundance of vehicles to pick from.

Larger Truck Shipping

For the big heavy or wider than normal type of truck size , a regular car carrier normally will not have the capacity to handle these. A Dually is a great example. Where a Standard size version of a trucking packing a 3500 diesel can
still go on a regular carrier and not pay a much steeper price, The dual rear wheel trucks need to go on a smaller carrier, usually a wedge trailer or some other type of small type of carrier that has the capacity of maybe 3 to 5 cars and no second level (because the supports for the second level will not allow the dually truck to enter). This can include utility vehicles such as lunch trucks and delivery trucks that run on a 2500 or 3500 truck frame. This type of holler can take regular cars and oversized trucks so multiple cars are heading in the same direction. This will make pricing not so brutal. Depending on the area this could keep around just $250 over a standard sedan but could easily go is $300-350 more than a standard sedan.
