Open auto transport works for any make and model vehicle. This is the most popular method of transporting vehicles, and the most economical as well. Whether you are shipping an everyday car or moving a luxury or a sports car, open car carrier is the standard method to ship a car.
The double level multi car carrier is efficient and economical.
Efficiency lies in that they can load from seven to ten cars at once and haul them to different locations. Most of these trailers are modern with fully hydraulic ramps. With a push of a button a loading ramp comes out of the back, sloped down to the ground level for smooth loading.
With most double level or deck trailers, the top deck can come all the way to the ground which allows for fast and easy loading. At loading and unloading the truck driver can drop the air out of the trailer to lower it a couple of inches. Most of the carriers use wheels straps, which are better than chain straps.
The trailer can load anywhere from one up to three cars.
You will not see many of these driving across the country. Such trailers are usually meant for short distances. Yet, they are used for both long and short distance deliveries. They could be faster and more versatile navigating residential areas. Single deck tractor trailers are often preferred for expedited services.
Booking this type of trailer, or expedited delivery, is often more expensive. You can request such a carrier for your sports, luxury or classic automobile.
Popular trailer for short, local and time sensitive deliveries.The whole composition consists of a pick-up truck pulling a trailer that can fit from one to three cars. This is a much easier to operate and this allows for faster service. Waiting for less cars to be booked and loaded is the reason companies use this type of truck and trailer for express deliveries.

The cost to ship a car depends on several factors. A car shipping price that will ship a vehicle in a timely and professional manner, we call the golden mean.
In the auto transport industry it is very important to be able to accommodate the customer. But we have to accommodate the carrier as well. This means, the rate must be current market price.
In the US, almost all open car carriers are independent owner operators. This means a current market price is a decisive factor when it comes to timely shipping. A customer competes with other customers for a spot on the car carrier, and better paying vehicles always get picked up first.
Understanding this helps you understand the prices you see online.
Supply and demand fluctuations usually decide the final car shipping price.
Certainly, there are other factors such as vehicle make and model, type of tailer, locations, distance and car condition. As well as vehicle modifications. It is important to understand the real cost to ship a car when it comes to correct pricing and professional service.
Open auto transport is usually the fastest way to ship a car. Open carriers are almost 90 percent of the whole fleet in the US and this makes them readily available. It is always faster to schedule an open car carrier than enclosed, for example. This means that the pick-up time frame is shorter, as well as often the delivery.
Before you choose to hire a company you should research and make sure it is licensed with the US Department of Transportation. Call several companies, ask questions and compare prices and services.
