Choose a Reliable Car Shipping Company
Not all auto transport companies are the same. Look for one that is:
At Bridgeway Logistics LLC, professionalism, safety, and open communication in every step of the process is our pride.
Learn the Distinction Between Open and Enclosed Transport
Open Transport: The cheapest and most common form. Your car is transported on an open carrier among other vehicles.
Enclosed Transport: Offers the maximum amount of protection from the elements, road debris, and dust. Suitable for luxury, vintage, or high-value cars.
Understand what choice is best for your car and you will be able to ship confidently.
Get Your Car Ready Prior to Pickup
Preparation is key. Prior to the arrival of your carrier:
Wash and photograph your car for condition reports
Take out personal items and valuables
Ensure tire pressure, battery, and oil levels are set
Refuel with just a quarter tank of gas (lighter vehicles load better)
This will provide an easy pickup and safeguard your car during shipping.
Be Flexible with Pickup and Delivery Dates
Car shipping requires routing coordination and multiple deliveries compared to overnight shipping. Carriers may give a pickup window (1–3 days) instead of specific times. Flexibility makes scheduling easier and can even cost you less.
Know What to Expect on Delivery Day
When your car comes:
Examine it thoroughly against your pre-shipping pictures
Mark down any differences on the Bill of Lading before signing
Pay the balance if prepaid is not used
Ask for clarification if unsure
This last step guarantees your shipment comes to an end without any surprises.
