CARRIER VETTING

Checks Before a Carrier Is Dispatched

Vehicle shipping is not only about moving a vehicle from one place to another. The carrier, route, vehicle size, pickup location, delivery access, and timing all need to work together.

AutoHaul Direct helps review these details so your shipment can be coordinated with better planning, clearer communication, and fewer issues during pickup or delivery.

WHAT WE REVIEW

Details That Matter Before Your Vehicle Moves

Route Fit

We review the pickup and delivery route so the shipment can be planned around carrier availability.
Confirm

Vehicle Fit

Pickup Access

We review pickup location details, street access, loading space, and timing needs.

Delivery Access

We help plan delivery based on carrier access, location safety, and final handoff details.

Transport Option

We help review open, enclosed, expedited, or specialty transport based on the shipment.

Communication Needs

We help keep key details organized before pickup, during transport, and through delivery.

HOW IT WORKS

How Carrier Assignment Works

Review the Shipment Details

We review the pickup location, delivery location, vehicle details, condition, and preferred timing.

Review the Carrier

We help review whether open, enclosed, expedited, or specialty transport fits the shipment.

Confirm Pickup Details

Pickup and delivery are coordinated around access, timing, route availability, and carrier planning.

Pickup and Delivery Inspection

We help keep the process clear through vehicle pickup, transport updates, delivery, and inspection.

PICKUP AND DELIVERY ACCESS

Safe Access Helps Avoid Delays

Large transport carriers need safe space to load and unload vehicles. Narrow streets, gated communities, low-clearance roads, tight turns, and restricted areas can affect pickup or delivery planning.

If direct access is limited, pickup or delivery may be arranged at a nearby accessible location. AutoHaul Direct helps customers understand this before the transport date whenever possible.

Wide streets or open areas can help with loading
Gated or restricted areas may need special instructions
Rural locations may require more planning
Nearby safe meeting points may be used when needed
Pickup and delivery contacts should be available by phone
