The type of truck that will transport your car depends on the car shipping service you choose. Generally, your vehicle will be transported using a multi-car open or enclosed auto trailer.
Here are the main types:
Open car trailers are commonly used for shipping multiple vehicles and typically have either one or two decks. They are suitable for shorter distances and can carry 6 to 10 cars.
Enclosed car trailers ship vehicles in a soft-sided trailer with extended ramps or a hard-sided trailer with a liftgate. This option provides extra protection for your vehicle. For shorter distances, you might see pick-up trucks that can transport 2-3 cars. For longer distances, semi-trucks with a capacity for 6-10 cars are more common.
