Open transport is the industry standard. By sharing space with up to 9 other vehicles, you split the fuel and travel costs, saving you money.
Because open carriers make up over 90% of the transport fleet on the road, it's significantly easier and faster to find a truck and schedule your shipment.
Vehicles are securely strapped to the trailer frame to prevent swaying. It offers excellent protection from road vibration and standard travel hazards.

We believe in complete transparency. Here is exactly how your vehicle moves safely from start to finish.
Before loading, you and the driver complete a detailed walkaround inspection with photos, documenting existing condition on the Bill of Lading (BOL).
Your vehicle is driven onto the multi-car trailer and anchored at all four tires using heavy-duty wheel straps attached directly to the steel deck frame.
During transit, your driver stays in touch. You can request real-time status updates at any time along the route until delivery.
Upon arrival, perform a final inspection against the original BOL photos. Once satisfied, sign off and receive your keys.
Because open transport trailers are open to the air, your car will experience standard highway exposure (weather, rain, and dust)—just as if you were driving it on the highway. However, your car is fully covered by carrier cargo insurance against physical transport accidents and frame damage.
