There comes a point in many of our lives when we need to move a vehicle, or a fleet of them for that matter, from one state to another. Relocations, both personal and professional, can result in a need for cross country auto transport, and the best way to get through the whole process as easily as possible is with the help of a dependable automotive transportation company.

A few years ago it would have been difficult, if not impossible, to find a reliable company that can move vehicles from one state to another. You either had to know someone who had used their services in the past, or have someone recommend a company. What was even more difficult was knowing whether or not they were a dependable auto transport company, one that will take every precaution when it comes to safeguarding your vehicle. Today, we live in a different world thanks to this wonderful thing known as the internet. It has allowed us to connect to each other in ways never before thought possible, and has allowed for the free flow of information to transform and elevate or lives and general standard of living.

The last thing you want to do is put your precious vehicle in the hands of someone who is less qualified than their competitors. For this, we want to ensure that we get the best bang for our buck service wise and go with a dependable and reliable automotive transport company. In the past, you had to go off what your friends and family knew when choosing the transport company for you; today all you have to do is a quick Google search and you’ll have yourself a list of pages full of comments and reviews to help you make the right decision.  

Cross country auto transport isn’t something that should be taken lightly. With so much distance to cover, it’s good to know that your vehicle is in good hands. The last thing you want to do is have to worry about whether or not your classic car will make it in one piece from Main to Oregon.  Why go with a third rate cross country transport service when you can have the real deal?

We here at TNT offer a range of transportation options, allowing us to take on every transportation project, from one time personal transports to moving fleets of vehicles from one state to another, from coast to coast. We have the experience, training, and tools to allow us to go far above and beyond expectations, and we’re proud to be one of the best automotive transport companies around. Why don’t you give us a call and find out how we can help you and your automotive transport needs?

Obviously, you want to get the best bang for your buck, especially in these harsh economic times. But, at the same time, you don’t want to sacrifice quality of service for savings. Today we’re going to go over how to spot reliable, yet affordable, direct auto transport services online. The internet has connected us more than ever before, making our options and choices for consumer services more vast than ever before, making it important to be able to tell the difference between those you should avoid and those you should actually consider.

Basically everyone has a website now, so your search will more than likely start on one of the major search engines like Google or Yahoo. When searching for automotive transport companies or direct auto transport, the top search results will be the companies who put the time and effort into their online presence. That’s the first sign – the importance they put on marketing and web site.

The top search results will be the best place to look. However, you can’t just pick any of them and call it good – you have to take a look at their website and what it is they have to say. In today’s digital age, a website acts as the face of a business and a place where customers, both current and potential, can find you and learn what it is they have to offer. What their websites have to say is rather important, and companies that provide the most information, such as their auto transport prices, are most likely going to be the best bets.

Last, but not least, is the longevity of the company itself. The longer the automotive transport company has been in around, the more likely you are to receive top quality service. The average cut off time for new businesses and companies is two years, so as a good rule of thumb; you should avoid companies that are new. If you find one that’s been around for a decade or longer, like we have, than you’ve found a company that has withstood the test of time and survived by the satisfaction of their customers.

TNT Transport Services has been relocating employee vehicles for decades for Fortune 500 companies and the government,  Many of these companies now rely on TNT to manage the transport of their company fleets as well.

Before you turn your vehicle over to the trusted hands of your hauler, it’s important to ensure you have a few things in a row and a few items prepared. First and foremost, you should know the exact condition of your vehicle, both inside and out. This is wise advise for anyone using an auto transport service, whether you’re having a new car shipped to you or having a current one shipped to a new location, be it for a move or any other reason you may have.

The best way to go about doing this is to take pictures on the day of shipping. Even more so, the vehicle should be decently washed and cleaned, both inside and out, before the pictures are taken as to allow any nicks, dings, or dents to be clearly visible in the photographs. Be sure to get pictures of the car from nearly every angle, including the hood, roof, driver and passenger side doors, tires and rims, and trunk. It’s also a good idea to get a picture of the hauling vehicle itself, as well as a few pictures of your vehicle on the back. This will give you, and the automotive transport company, the images they need should any damage arise during the transport process.

It’s also important to ensure that both you, and the automotive transport company, are fully aware of any special needs or circumstances your vehicle may have. For instance, if your imported sports car has low ground clearance, or your truck has a high roof height, it’s important that you make sure your auto transport specialist is aware prior to sending off your vehicle. It’s also important to make sure you are upfront with the transport company regarding any mechanical issues the vehicle may have. While there are thousands of vehicles shipped everyday that suffer from mechanical issues, not all transport companies take mechanically challenged cars and trucks, so it’s important to make sure any issues are discussed at the beginning of the process.

This last bit may seem like a no-brainer, but it’s important to take any and all personal possessions before the pick-up date. You’d be surprised how many people leave keys, cell phones, address books, backpacks, and so on in their vehicles when they ship them cross country. Automotive transport companies are typically only responsible for the vehicles themselves, and not any personal property left within. While most of the time any personal possessions left within vehicles will remain untouched, there is no guarantee.

There’s a plethora of benefits to automotive transportation companies, but there are things that we all need to do on our end first to help ensure that everything runs as smoothly as possible.
