Cheap car transport in 2023
When it comes to getting the best price for car shipping, a lot has changed over the past couple of years. In this article we will explain the ongoing changes in the transport industry.
When you deal with a company like We Will Transport, we always give you the most realistic price to get your car or truck moved.
What is the best price to ship a car?
I’m sure you’ve heard of the old saying, “you get what you pay for.” When you’re looking for a service company to get your car moved, it’s the same concept. There are circumstances in life that you do not want to seek the cheapest services for, and shipping your vehicle is one of them. I can’t tell you how many people I talk to tell me they want the best driver for the cheapest price and they need their vehicle in two days when it’s a two and a half day trip and they want to load their vehicle with 400 lbs of household goods on top of it. The truth is, the best driver typically isn’t going to be the cheapest option.
“A” rated drivers, like the ones that We Will Transport It provides, are realistically priced to do the job. These drivers consider their expenses such as cost of fuel, permits etc. and price their loads accordingly. Other companies may give you a cheaper price but they will likely need more money from you once they have already picked up your vehicle leaving you with no option but to fork over the extra cash.
So what do you do, to get the most reasonable price? First you call in advance, minimum 5 to 7 days. This way we can build the load, piece the puzzle together.
How do you get the best price?
Pay the money for a good driver. The money is going to pay for a competent driver to get the job done, cover his expenses throughout the route, and keep his truck operating. Just like any industry, there is overhead.
Why has the industry changed since Covid19?
A lot of good trucking companies that have been in the industry for decades only had another 5 to 10 more years before retirement and Covid19 gave them a great reason to sell everything to get out. Also, when everything shut down so did the trucking schools for CDL.
Customers experience:
I shipped my car from California to Florida in 2019 and the price was $1,598.00. So why is it now almost two grand to ship?
The answer is very simple, Diesel. The price of Diesel gas has doubled since 2019. That coupled with strict rules with ELD (Electronic Logging Device)” where drivers have to reset their hours, so they can only go so many miles before they have to stop.
Why can’t I pack my car with household goods, I did it before?
Drivers can get in big trouble if items are blocking the windows. Drivers risk fees of up to $500 in such cases. Now, if a driver is eager for the job or less experienced with all of the rules will allow such things. Others may try to charge you an extra fee to transport with goods upwards of $200 to $300. It really just depends on the driver.
We will Transport it has a network of thousands of carriers, give us enough time, always expect a good price but not the cheapest, cheap is not always the best. This is your means of transportation going to and from work and taking the kids to school, don’t be tricked into thinking you can ship a car from Florida to California for $299 or $599 like these lead generated companies try to bait you in.
