Transporting Overseas?

When we think of transportation, we generally think of the trucks that run back and forth on the highways.  There are actually multiple ways to get things from point A to point B: trucks, boats, rail, and air.  It is quite important to understand all of the criteria that go into transferring overseas.  Once you have contracted with the household goods moving company, the next step would be to start car shipping process. 

First, you will need to do your research and locate an auto transport company to handle all of the logistics of shipping your vehicle.  It is best to have only about a ¼ of a tank of gas before loading onto the ocean carrier and a fairly clean vehicle.  This is for your benefit because when you and the driver walk around to inspect the vehicle, any scratches or markings can be documented.  Once everything is booked and ready for transport, make sure that you retain your booking number from the port that the vehicle will be shipped out of.

Next, be sure that all documentation is perfect and is at the port ahead of time before the car arrives.  The auto carrier should be able to communicate with the port authorities so that they can make sure that that paperwork you submitted is correct.  Once the vehicle is in route to the port, make sure to collect your copy of the B.O.L. from the car transporter and the ocean carrier.  A B.O.L. is the sheet that is filled out before and after the vehicle is transported that denotes any damages from the transport. 

If you follow these few steps and use a quality auto transport broker, your vehicle transport will be a piece of cake.

A More in Depth Understanding of Transit Time

So that everyone is on the same page of what “transit time” really is, let’s take a closer look.  By understanding this, it can reduce confusion by both parties involved in the car shipping process.  We know that you need or want you vehicle as quickly as possible and we strive to give you that service, but there are elements that can increase the time that it takes to get your car to you.  Just think, when you drive across the country, there are many factors that might hold you up like weather, traffic, food and sleep.  Well, by sharing the truck with other customers’ vehicles, it does dramatically reduce the cost of the vehicle transport for each customer.  So with that said, the driver has to stop at each location on the way to you so that he can deliver the vehicles.  

Timing is one of the most important things to the driver, so he will do his best to be as punctual as possible.  The time of car transportation can largely be effected by the auto transport company that you hired to ship your vehicle.  If you went with that low ball quote it’s because they wanted to lock you in with all of the promises and then either take forever to deliver the vehicle or end up calling you back and telling you that the price is going to be higher.  Each spot on the truck represents a dollar value that must be met in order to pay for the fuel and labor expense.  This is one factor that is the most important to remember when shipping cars.  If you are looking for the cheapest price to ship your car from coast to coast, you are going to have a longer transit time and/or the cheapest service.

Why are Online Transport Reviews so Important?

First off, selecting the right auto transport company is key to getting your vehicle from point A to point B in a safe and economic manner.  Online transport reviews do not cost anything, but are very vital to the selection process.  If you are currently relocating to a different city, switching occupations, or taking a vacation, the online testimonials of reliable auto transport companies can save you money and time.  With the multitude of car transportation companies out there offering their services, we highly recommend that everyone does their homework before booking with a specific company.  By reading these reviews, you are getting a sneak peak at how professional and customer service oriented all of the different companies are.

Three main issues arise when reading the reviews online.  Look for the reviews discussing the auto shipping rates offered by the companies.  These rates are the basis on the protection of the vehicle and the quality of service provided.  If the rates are too low, then the vehicle might just sit there for a while before it can get picked up at such a low price.  Also, too low of rates basically means that the service you will be getting might not really even exist.  The old saying comes to mind, “You pay for what you get” and in the service industry, that saying couldn’t be truer.  If it is priced correctly, then the transit time will be far better and quality of service will be worth every penny.  I mean, a vehicle is the second largest purchase in an average person’s life, so that vehicle needs to be totally protected.  Second, look for other people’s opinions and past problems they might have encountered with shipping cars.  If any red flags are shown, you will know what to be aware of prior to the shipment of your vehicle.  Lastly, look at the amount of reviews for each company.  This can help you narrow your search and see if they are just fly by companies or ones that are here to stay.

International Car Theft Export Ring Busted

There has been a large number of exporting going on in the United States as of lately and much has to do with the inflated vehicle prices around the world.  It is cheaper to purchase a vehicle in the US and pay all of the import/export fees rather than purchase the vehicle in your own country.  Well, it seems some think that it’s even CHEAPER to just steal the vehicles and throw them on the boat to ship to the buyers, rather than take the proper steps through customs.  Not so fast, thieves!!  Law enforcement agencies, both federal and state, have announced the breakup of one of the larger car theft export rings.  Several people have been charged with the theft of a multitude of vehicles in the NY and NJ area, and exporting them to Africa from the area’s seaports.

20 federal, state and local agencies announced the arrests of 11 of the 19 persons who are charged with the theft of the several high value automobiles.  The buyers of these vehicles were willing to pay a much higher ticket than what market value suggests, but bad news hits the shores of Africa instead of the boat loads of vehicles.  There are many ill effects of these types of operations, including but not limited to crime, carjackings and robberies.  When something is done illegally, our safety and quality of life diminish along the way. 

Our economy, in many ways, is also negatively impacted as well through situations like these.  For example, not only are our citizens deprived of their personal property, but theft patterns in specific areas will result in higher insurance premiums for residents within that area.  Considering that majority of the vehicles are taken by gang members, gangs are thriving in this market.  By cracking down on their sources of income, we in return gain a favorable advantage.

What is a Car Shipping Broker?

In the car shipping industry, there are a couple types of vehicle transport companies: auto brokers and car carriers.  Auto carriers are the asset based companies (the trucks themselves), and if you choose to deal directly with a carrier you have to be extremely careful about what price they initially offer and the timeline in which you are given.  Carriers tend to raise the price on specific routes and often take longer than needed to complete the vehicle shipment.  They are also limited to certain routes and times needed to make prompt deliveries.  If there are only a few trucks within their fleet, the auto carrier cannot be in many places at a time.  So, in short, it may be weeks before they can accommodate you automobile transport.  Another typical issue with dealing directly with a carrier is the communication barrier because drivers aren’t the most prompt with answering or returning phone calls while driving.

Car shipping brokerages are great for customer service.  They keep the prices where they need to be so that customers are getting the best bang for their buck.  They have access to a multitude of carriers that they have special relationships with, the nation over.  The car shipping broker will also handle all of the paperwork and money for you, so that you only have to deal with your specific agent and not several different people.  The broker then pays the carrier contracted to deliver the vehicle and then all is well because the broker is then in control of the driver.  Car shipping brokers do extensive research on each and every carrier used to make informed decisions on which carrier to use.  They match up insurance cargo policies to ensure the customer that the vehicle will be fully covered for its entire value.  The broker is the happy medium between the customer and the drivers so there are no hiccups along the way and all headaches are relieved. 

Also, car shipping brokerages will give you the much needed information for your specific needs.  Transport can be a scary world and brokers are only here to help get the job done in the most efficient and hassle-free manner.  N-Motion Auto Transport is a little different than all of the other fish in the sea.  You can literally call any time of day and speak with a live person.  Let’s face it, the customer service industry is getting worse every day because of all the bad apples out there, but rest assured, N-Motion is taking a leap in the positive direction by changing both industries for the best.

New Tesla Model S Coming Soon

Elon Musk has been busy on all ends of the spectrum.  First, SpaceX (his company) launched a rocket into space to aid the International Space Station with a resupply of goods.  Then, his other company has scheduled the delivery of Tesla’s first sedan.  Many saw this to be an improbability, even more so than the whole rocket idea, but you know Musk.  You must have reservation to purchase this vehicle on June 22, although the details on actually receiving the car are a little bland at the moment.  Not very often are manufaturers on time or even ahead of schedule for that matter, but it’s looking like Tesla might be ahead of that curve. 

Ever heard of Tesla Fashion Island?  Me either, but apparently it hosted four Model S Beta testers at a signature event on the island a few weeks ago.  It seems that there will be a couple more venues that will host the revealing of the new Model S, including White Plains, NY and five different Canadian cities.

A new technology that was integrated into the new Tesla is “Regen,” which is a regenerative braking system that slows the car when the accelerator is released.  The Wow Factor keeps increasing with this bad boy and word of steering resistance and ride height were also mentioned.  Could you get anymore customizable?  Probably, but what a great way to start things off.
