Know the Facts about Auto Transport

There are several things that a consumer needs to take in consideration about vehicle shipping to anywhere in the nation or even internationally. Make sure that you do plenty of research on the companies that you might have in mind for your auto transport service. There are a lot of shady companies in this industry and we want to make sure that the consumers are getting all of the facts. Many companies lie about a wide array of things in order for you to book your load with them. These “lies” consist of altered time frames, far lower prices than what the load should be in order for it to get picked up in a timely manner (and then once you put down your deposit, they increase the price to what it should be or even higher), and whether they are just a Broker or a Carrier/Broker. Brokers are not asset based, so they do not have their own trucks but have access to several carriers around the nation. Good brokers, like N-Motion Auto Transport, do an extensive screening process and background check on each carrier before the job is contracted out. Broker/Carriers are asset based and have their own rigs, but often broker more than utilize their own trucks. To find out what category these companies fall under, check out SaferSys for further information.

Shipping Wars on A&E - N-Motion Auto Transport

Recently, A&E started a new realty show called “Shipping Wars” that follows independent shippers using USHIP to battle for loads to transport. The show gives everyday consumers a taste of how the transport world works and entertains us with the problems/headaches that all of us in the shipping industry have come to know all too well. Basically, a few carriers are followed around documenting how these people live day to day transporting goods all over America. Seeing how these people find loads on UShip, bid on them, and then race to transport the goods without damage is just a taste of how transport really works. Like all realty shows on tv now a days many things on the show are just for ratings and actually do not happen much in the industry. One important thing to remember when watching the show is that bidding for the loads by the carriers is a good way to see how much customers over pay by using UShip. Each week after a new episode N-Motion Auto Transport will recap what had happened for those viewers that were not able to catch it and point out the difference between using UShip and Transport Brokers. As Shipping Wars will be a new fun show to watch let’s remember that the best way for shipping is by contacting a Transport Broker.

N-Motion Auto Transport Tips for Shipping a Vehicle

Scheduling:
When choosing to transport your vehicle, one should plan and schedule the auto shipping at least 3-4 weeks in advance before you move. This will give plenty of time to arrange for a car hauler to pick up your vehicle. The more time that is allotted, the better the price and availability of car movers. Make sure that someone, that is trustworthy, will be available at the time of pickup and delivery for multiple reasons. N-Motion Auto Transport offers a Door-to-Door service, which makes it easier for customers to go on with daily activities and not having to sit in a parking lot somewhere waiting on an dependable auto shipper. Some residential neighborhoods do not permit certain sized vehicles to enter the area. So, in that case, the driver will get as close as he can to the front door by asking the shipper to meet at a nearby shopping center or garage for the pickup or delivery of the vehicle.

Insurance:
This is a very important aspect of the auto transport process. Make sure the company that you choose to transport your vehicle has adequate insurance to cover the full value of the vehicle. A BOL (bill of lading) will be filled out on the condition of the vehicle for any dents, scratches, or damages of any sort. This will be signed by both parties at pickup and delivery. ALWAYS check the vehicle for any damages and take pictures too if you feel more comfortable, for these will come in handy if any unclaimed damages are noted at delivery.

Personal Belongings or Household Goods:
The driver of the car carrier is not responsible for any item left in the vehicle before, during, or after it has been delivered. Make sure to remove any personal possessions prior to pickup. If something does have to go with the vehicle, notify the driver and place it in the trunk for safe storage.

Houston, We have a DON’T have a Problem!!

The last time that Houston had a football team in the playoffs was far too long ago. The Houston Texans beat the Cincinnati Bengals Saturday at Reliant Stadium. The crowd roared throughout the entire game and surely made the Bengals fans feel like there was less than a chance. As the game went on, that chance diminished. The final score was 31-10 and it doesn’t seem like the Texans are going to slow down, on either end of the field. After four sacks and three interceptions, Cincinnati QB Andy Dalton felt the wrath of the second ranked Texan defense. January 15th will be another trying day for Houston, having to match up against the AFC North champion Baltimore Ravens at 12:00pm. In 1994, Houston’s former team, the Oilers, hosted the Kansas City Chiefs in the Astrodome. T.J. Yates was just a little boy at that time, but he isn’t anymore. He went 11 for 20 for 159 yards and a touchdown to Andre Johnson. Ironically, this was a homecoming for Dalton, the Katy Texas native. Dalton’s numbers actually superseded Yates’s, while finishing with 257 yards, but was no match for the Houston D. Arian Foster is and has been a force to reckon with, with 153 yards and 2 touchdowns on 24 carries.

Good Luck on the road to the 2012 Super Bowl, Houston!

Don't want to drive to the next game? Just hop on a plane and let N-Motion Auto Transport get your vehicle there for you so that you can still have that car for crusin' around the city.

Sports-Car Pileup vs Auto Transport

On a trip from Japan’s southern island of Kyushu to Hiroshima sports cars worth $4 million dollars turned into a pileup when a Ferrari leading the pack of exotic cars skidded as it tried to change lanes. After all of the smoke cleared there were eight Ferraris and one Lamborghini in a 20-vehicle group. The cars were driven by amateur sports car aficionados and were deemed “narcissists” by officials. They should have used N-Motion Auto Transport to move vehicles from point A to B. A car hauler would have saved them far more money and even possibly their lives. Only ten people had minor injuries and most of them have already been cleared from the hospital. The accident happened along a 400 meter-long curve Sunday morning. Even though an investigation is still going on based on the initial interviews and the type of damage that was done the police do not believe that the accident was based on “burning rubber” like in the street racing movies “Fast and the Furious”. The cause of the accident may be because of wet road conditions causing the driver to crash into the guardrail. Along with the nine sports cars that were damaged, two Mercedes Benz were also in the pile up. If you need your car moved, call N-Motion Auto Transport today and we will take care of all of your exotic car transport needs.

Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder letter against building of Bridge

To argue that Gov. Rick Snyder should have a fall-back position to resourcefully make use of Canadian bridge money to serve as matching funds for federal highway funds is ridiculous because by having a fall back position he is then admitting to defeat. Owning private toll roads and bridges were common in the middle ages but now the public should own them since they utilize it the most. The owner of the Ambassador Bridge, Matty Maroun wants to make choices for the citizens of Michigan instead of having the government do so. Auto Transportion might be affected in multiple ways, both positive and negative. Snowbird vehicle transport would be at a standstill due to inflated prices. They would then delay the car shipping process to a later time, thus creating a jam in overall traffic. The political commentator for Michigan public radio, Jack Lessenberry doesn’t think that the bridge project will cost Michigan citizens anything. By bringing in half a billion dollars from Canada, creating 10,000 jobs, and attracting another half a billion dollars in federal highway money would fix the problem. However, the state Legislature opposed this and Gov. Snyder should hold them responsible. Any legislator who has gotten campaign contributions from the owner of the Ambassador Bridge should refrain from voting on this issue because it is a conflict of interest.
