Pre-Transport Check List
Pre-Shipping List
-
Personal Items
There should be a minimum of personnel effects in the vehicle being transported. Transports are weight sensitive, the less weight the better. Elimination of personal contents also reduces the potential for theft. All carriers, by law, are made to stop at weigh stations and have their trucks weighed, if the truck is overweight the driver is ticketed - each vehicle on the transporter is then taken off and examined to determine if contents in the vehicle resulted in the overweight condition. In the event your vehicle contents contribute to an overweight condition extra charges to you can occur.
-
Cracked Glass
Should the vehicle glass have a nick, scratch, chip, or crack, or other condition, Auto Transport Specialty will NOT be responsible for damage caused by a pre-existing problem.
-
Climate
Vehicles should be prepared for the destination climate conditions. This may include coolant, transmission oil, and other fluids. Auto Transport Specialty is NOT responsible for damage cause as a result of Acts of Nature.
