Question 12

Where Will My Vehicle Be Picked Up And Delivered?

Accepted Answer

The auto shipping or car transport driver will get as close to your door as he can legally and safely get. Many cities have restrictions on large trucks that prohibit them from driving into some residential areas. Transport trucks are spacious and need lots of clearance to maneuver and turn around. Therefore if access to the pickup or delivery location is restricted by narrow streets, low-hanging trees or tight turns, the driver may ask that you meet the truck at a large parking lot nearby, such as a supermarket.
