Truck shipping is a service that moves your truck from one location to another using a specialized auto transport trailer. The carrier collects it from an agreed location and delivers it as close as safely and legally possible to your chosen address, saving you from making the long drive and unnecessary mileage.

You might use this service when relocating, buying a vehicle out of state, sending one to a job site, or shipping a truck across the country. It can be arranged for standard pickups, heavy-duty models, commercial vehicles, custom builds, and many other truck types.

So, you need to get your truck from point A to point B. You’ve thought about driving, but are wondering whether there are any benefits to shipping a truck across the country instead. As well as avoiding a long road trip, you’ll save valuable time, prevent unnecessary mileage, and not put yourself at risk of a breakdown or an accident.

An experienced trucker uses specialist equipment to load and secure your vehicle, with full insurance coverage throughout its journey.

✔ Safety and security: When you ship a truck, you avoid the risks of a long-distance drive, including accidents, breakdowns, and unpredictable road conditions. Your vehicle is secure on a transport trailer from pick-up to delivery.

✔ Insurance coverage: Professional truck transportation services like ours include full insurance coverage for your vehicle while it is in transit. Pick-up and delivery inspections also provide a clear record of its condition at both ends of the journey.

✔ Saves time, effort, and money: Driving a large truck over a long distance can use a substantial amount of gas, making fuel one of the biggest journey expenses. A door-to-door truck delivery service also saves time because heavier trucks often travel more slowly and may require additional fuel, rest, and overnight stops along the way.

✔ Various transport options: We can tailor our truck shipping services to your vehicle, budget, and schedule. Choose open or enclosed transport, with guaranteed pick-up and expedited shipping available when timing is important.

The logistics involved in shipping trucks are more complex than those for standard cars, mainly because trucks are usually larger and heavier. Their dimensions, weight, ground clearance, modifications, and loading requirements must all be confirmed before a suitable truck and trailer can be selected:

✔ Size and trailer space: A large or heavy-duty pickup takes up more room on a multi-vehicle trailer and may even take the space of two smaller cars. This reduces the number of vehicles the truck shipper can carry and may increase transport costs.

✔ Weight restrictions: Every trailer has a maximum weight capacity, while some roads, bridges, and trailer axles are also subject to weight limits. Before we transport a truck, its curb weight and any permanently installed equipment must be provided so the trucker can plan a safe, compliant route.

✔ Height and ground clearance: Lift kits, oversized tires, roof-mounted accessories, and raised suspension can create clearance issues during loading and transit. Accurate height measurements are especially important when arranging pickup truck shipping for a modified vehicle.

✔ Truck length and width: Extended beds, crew cabs, dual rear wheels, and wide aftermarket components may require additional trailer space. The cost to ship a pickup truck can therefore be higher for a long-bed or dually model than for a standard two-door pickup.

✔ Loading and securing: Commercial, military, classic, and modified trucks may have different tie-down points or require custom securing equipment. Suitable straps, ramps, and loading methods must be arranged as part of professional truck transportation services.

✔ Pick-up and delivery access: Long trucks and trailers need plenty of room to turn, load, and unload safely. Narrow streets, low branches, tight parking lots, and local restrictions may prevent a truck delivery service from reaching the exact address. If this is the case, the trucker will arrange a nearby accessible meeting point. ✔ Trailer and trucker availability: Oversized, lifted, non-running, or unusually heavy vehicles may not fit on a standard car trailer. Providing exact measurements and details of all modifications helps us find appropriate commercial truck shipping equipment and prepare an accurate quote.
