What services does CORSIA offer?
Corsia Logistics provides the following car shipping services:
by carrier type: open and enclosed trailer
by time frame: standard and expedited delivery
Choosing a carrier type really depends on the type of vehicle you need to ship. Standard everyday sedans can be shipped via open auto transport carrier. If you need to ship a high-end automobile, or any classic car, you should consider enclosed trailer.
Standard car shipping means that a carrier will pick up your vehicle within few days. Delivery, in this case would be 3 to 5 days. However, please keep in mind that all dates and times are only estimates.
Expedited delivery could guarantee that your car is picked up or delivered on or by a specified date and time.
Open auto transport is the standard solution. It is faster and cheaper. Open carriers are readily available and this makes them efficient and preferred by private customers and businesses alike.
Enclosed auto transport is a preferred solution for sports and high-end automobiles. It offers complete protection from weather and road elements. However, it could take a bit longer to book and schedule. It is more expensive as well.
What documents do I need when shipping a car?
Domestic transport is easy. When shipping a car from Florida to Massachusetts, you or someone on your behalf must release the vehicle to the carrier at pick-up.
The person at pick-up will also need to sign a Bill of Lading (BOL). The BOL is a receipt and an inspection report. When the carrier inspects the car you need to check with that all existing damages are marked before you sign. Never sign a blank or incomplete document.
Making the leap from Florida to Massachusetts
When you start checking statistics, you can easily discover many similarities between Florida and Massachusetts.
The two states are still quite different – first in size, second in population, and third in climate. These are all serious differences that could sway a person easily. If you are moving to Massachusetts from Florida you may want to know a few things about the state and its major differences with Florida.
The statistics say that public schools are average in both states, although many would argue that.
In Boston you will find some of the best universities in the world – Harvard and MIT to set the stage – and we highly doubt public schools are average there, but probably we should trust the statistics. According to places.findthehome.com, people in both states are moderately educated, and because Boston does not represent the whole of Massachusetts we can try and trust the statistics to some degree.
Some myths busted
One difference that kind of contradicts their own statistics is that in Florida you have lower income middle class, while in Massachusetts it is upper income middle class. Another statistic we should mention is the types of common age groups identified in both states – Florida is represented mostly by retirees over the age of 65, while Massachusetts has a “typical age distribution.” However, both states contain disproportionately large middle aged populations. The average commute time is 26 minutes in Florida and 28 in Massachusetts and the unemployment rate is higher in Florida – about 10 percent versus about 8 percent for Massachusetts.
Which state is better?
When you ask which state is better to live in, the answers will vary depending on who you ask. Many retirees will tell you that Florida is better only because of the warm climate, salty water, and laid back culture. However, if you ask a younger person they would tell you Massachusetts is the place to be because of the good colleges, better economy and the fact that you can enjoy all four seasons.
Whether you are moving to Massachusetts, or to Florida, just make sure you know the facts and visit prior to moving. Making a decision is not easy, and once you have decided comes the moving itself. And moving is not a simple task. In most cases you will have to hire a moving company to transport your household and an auto transport company to ship your car.
