Responsible Shipping
The responsibility starts with you, the owner. Now that you have paid a not so small fortune for the car, truck, motorcycle, and or boat of your dreams to be painted, you need to take the time and money to have it returned to you with neither a hitch nor a scratch.
Choose the Best Solution
An investor who has spent $699,900 on a 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona Hemi with a completely restored paint job, complete with original paint, will want to spend a few dollars on the shipping. Here is what to look for:
What to Look For in Vehicular Transport
1. Experience. Make sure that the carrier specializes in vehicle transport as well as in the protection of the paint job itself. Exposed metal framework and support structures can wreak havoc on your custom paint job.
2. Insurance Coverage. A vehicle transport company with excellent insurance coverage is thinking of you the owner.
3. Door to Door Service. Make sure that the carrier you choose picks up and delivers the last mile. An owner who needs to get his motorcycle or jetski back to Hawaii from Texas and yet your carrier only goes so far as the LA airport, is still empty handed.
4. Covered Service. This is critical for the specialty and custom paint jobs and priceless classics. Open carriers are the long trucks with the load of vehicles hanging in breathless balance driving for thousands of miles through rain, sleet, tumble weed, searing sand storms, and frigid temperatures. Get a covered transport with a totally buffered interior. Do not settle for less.
5. Tracking. The ability to track our million dollar investment or even your $15,000 investment is a basic consideration for any shipping carrier. Today, the best companies allow you to track 24/7 through their web site. They understand the protection of your asset that is valuable both in dollar and sentiment.
Take time to strategize the shipping of your investment before you commit to a carrier to make sure that you have made the best business solution available.
