Shipping a Truck with Red Carpet
Shipping a truck with Red Carpet Auto Transport is fast and easy. Read along to see just what is in store for you when you decide you want to ship your pickup truck with us.
When you first call us, you’ll get a free quote to ship your truck. Once you decide you like our quote, you can call us back at any time during our normal business hours and place an order to ship your vehicle. Placing an order is simple – we’ll collect some information from you and then assign your vehicle to an auto transport carrier, which will pickup your truck within one to seven days of you placing the order.
For oversized trucks, it may take longer as many auto transport carriers cannot fit an oversized pickup onto their truck, but we can ship it, don’t worry. We just want to make sure you know that oversized vehicles can take a bit longer to find a carrier that will take it. However, once one is found, we will notify you, and then we will tell you when the carrier will show up to pickup your truck.
Once the carrier has shown up, both you and the driver of the carrier will walk around your vehicle and note any minor scratches, dings, or any other damages that the vehicle currently has. This is to ensure that any new damages that may occur will be billed to the insurance company of the truck, and not to your private insurance. Carriers are federally mandated to have a minimum of $750,000 of insurance coverage, so any new damages – and let’s not forget that damages are rare during transport – will not cost you a dime.
Once the vehicle is picked up and on the truck, it stays on the carrier until it is delivered to the destination that you specified. Also, once the vehicle is picked up, we will take our deposit and inform you that we have done so – we keep you in the loop, because it’s your truck, right? We believe that you have a right to know what’s going on, so we won’t keep you in the dark.
Now, once the truck is delivered, you and the driver will make another walk around the vehicle and note any new damages (if any) that have occurred, and once that is done, you can enjoy your vehicle once again.
