Every time I travel from Houston to San Antonio, I always notice trucks much larger than my little car driving along side me, but the one machine that always catches my interest is the car carrier. Car haulers are essentially a series of flat beds stacked in such a fashion that each holds a single car in place for the duration of a transport. Each bed is tilted in such a fashion that in the rare chance of something actually happening to the vehicle, little no harm would actually come to the item in question. Each vehicle is individually mounted in a secure and balanced fashion to restrict movement, keeping it from slipping and sliding onto the road before they reach their destination. They're a comparatively cheap and efficient solution to multi-car transport. While it's technically an exposed carrier, each car can be fitted with what is essentially a car rain-poncho, which will protect it from natural precipitation.
When you're out on the road, passing one of these behemoths, keep in mind how useful, how safe, and most importantly how money-saving the titan can be. And remember, even if it looks like one could come crashing down on you, they really are safely mounted down, and the person driving the transport is a well-trained individual, who is well-aware of what they're doing.

Easing your Shipping Worries
Most people are pretty frightened at the prospect of paying out the nose through the internet, and many of us have enough horror stories to tell about fraudulent credit card charges as the result of them. Despite the history and the frightening times before, there's always the allure of an online auction for that black 1969 Firebird you've always dreamed of, with the smooth rounded contours meeting at fine hard angles. And it's really not a bad deal!
Say you indulge your interests, and you pay all that money for a chance at the dream. That beast of a machine is in some guy's garage in Atlanta, not parked outside your flat in San Diego! Sure, you could fly across the country and drive that car back, but think of the costs you're putting on those antiquated wheels. Relax you online entrepreneur, you, there's a better alternative.
To ship your car from seller to buyer, use a trusted auto transport company! A good company will offer you all the options you need for a cost effective and safe transport. Decide whether it's best for your car to be in a single enclose carrier to save it from the weather, or save your wallet and party up with a truck trailer carrying other vehicles to a similar destination. Another money saving method would be to have the car transported terminal-to-terminal, in which you personally must pick up your delivery from the incoming terminal. Can't get there? Most companies also offer door-to-door services, saving you the time and effort.
The next time you're eying up a deal online, don't let the shipping part worry you so much. Just rely on the specialists to make sure your car gets from there to you.

What is car shipping?
Car shipping – in simple terms – is the act of transporting a car from one location to another. However, the process could turn out to be a pain if not done properly. There are many choices and options that the customer has to make wisely while choosing the auto transport company. Here’s a simple breakdown of the car shipping process options. The most basic choice starts off with the idea of shipping your car on an open carrier, or in an enclosed carrier. Open carriers are giant trucks with six to ten slots for vehicles. The chances of getting your car damaged are high in an open trailer. Therefore, companies provide the option of enclosed trailers so that when your car is loaded into a trailer it is protected from all kinds of hazards and threats during the shipment. Another option in car shipping is door-to-door shipping or terminal-to-terminal shipping, and we’ll break that down for you. Door-to-door shipping is when the truck will pick up your vehicle straight from your house, regardless of where you live. With terminal-to-terminal shipping, you drop your car off at an open lot, and leave your car there until a truck can come pick it up. This could sometimes take up to months.
Car shipping is a fairly simple and fast process, if the right choices are made while choosing your shipper. Summary: choose an open, door-to-door shipping process. Also check the companies out for their reliability, awards, and BBB ratings before finalizing on a company.

CAR SHIPPING, What is Your Peace of Mind Worth?
Because there are HUGE differences in services when shipping your car (whether cross country, state to state, or internationally)...know what you get for the price difference.
1. Terminal drop and pick up
Service includes: Gives you exact day drop off, but the transport time can be as much as 4x longer than door to door shipping. Trucks will pick up from terminals when they have a full load. You, as the customer loses control. Liability is also a concern as you will need to know who covers damage, while the car is at a terminal.
2. Door to Door Shipment
Service includes: Choose a company that employs someone (broker/agent) which stays with the order from start to finish. They will ensure the logistics are handled, making this the BEST and ONLY option. Brokers that bid the job, or computer generated bids are going to net equal service. You will not a have a person to manage the variables of the shipment.
Your peace of mind is worth $100-$400. on who handles the shipment of your vehicle. This is an average on the price difference.

The following is a list of gas saving tips I saw on the website funandsafedriving.com. You will have to check out their website for a more detailed explanation of each tip. These are just a few ways to save gas in this economy:
1.Fill your tank at the coolest time of day.
2.Try not to stomp on the gas anymore than you need to.
3.Likewise, try not to slam on your brakes.
4.Plan your route to avoid traffic jams.
5.Keep your tires properly inflated.
6.When filling your tank, do not use the max pressure on the nozzle.
7.Lighten up and don’t haul anything you don’t absolutely need, around with you.
8.Keep your speed under 65mph.
9.Use cruise control on the highway.
10.Keep your air filter and fuel filter changed.
Every little bit helps.

Car Shipping - Car Tips
While you should keep your car under check year round, there are a few things that tend to pop up in the summer and can end up causing major trouble if not addressed promptly.
* Make sure there are no cracks in the radiator. If coolant is leaking, it can end up damaging the engine. Also, a low level of coolant can result in your car overheating.
* Brake pads wear out quicker during the summer because of the heat. Have the brakes checked and replace pads if necessary.
* Damaged or worn belts can cause the air conditioner to work poorly during the summer. This in turn causes your car to use up more gas to cool down the interior and may cause lasting damage as well.
* Your car’s emergency kit should include coolant for the car and bottled water for you. If your car breaks down in the middle of nowhere, you don’t want to be caught without something to drink and keep you hydrated while you’re waiting for help.
* Change your oil at the beginning of summer to make sure it’s in good condition to get you through the heat.
* Get your AC recharged, it does not cost much to recharge your AC. If it is low on freon, the AC unit will have to work harder to cool the car.
