Long distance towing is generally interpreted as a need to transport, tow or move a vehicle a distance of 500 to 1,000 miles or more. Interested? If we can’t directly provide long distance towing for a big job (such as transporting a vehicle cross-country), it can be arranged, and we can assist you in choosing and screening a carrier for those long hauls. Call us to discuss your needs, request a quote, or obtain assistance in booking a shipment.
Tow trucks that will take your automobile or light truck a longer distance ordinarily take other cars as well, and load your vehicle onto a shared flatbed truck, a specialized truck – or a particular trailer (pulled by a diesel cab) known as a ‘car carrier’ or auto hauler. These are usually open-air, double decker trailers with ramps, often over 50 feet long, that carry 5 to 8 vehicles.
Vehicles travel securely tied down and well elevated above the roadway, and are well protected during transport. Long distance auto transport or vehicle shipping usually takes place between one city or state and another.
Long distance rates are generally calculated using the rate for a regular sedan transported to or from major cities, with pricing for each destination listed from departure to arrival and delivery. Depending on such variables as time of years and weather, distance from pick up or delivery to the highways used, whether pickup and delivery take place in an urban or suburban locale, and – of course – current fuel costs.
