Where will my van be picked up?
Most van transport companies offer door-to-door service, which means they will come to your house and put the van on the truck in front of you. However, with major cities comes tiny roads, and trucks can’t drive on those small roads. The van transport trucks can be as long as 75 ft long, which makes it virtually impossible to squeeze on a small, two-lane road. If the truck can’t get to your house, generally they will contact you and let you know that you need to meet them in a parking lot or some other place that the truck can fit in.
Also, because of the nature of the United States, many cities prohibit giant trucks from going down minor roads. This is why you never see large 18-wheelers driving past your house. This is generally why you may need to meet the truck in a parking lot or someplace else that the truck can fit in. If they come to your house and there are laws preventing him from doing so, he could get a major fine--then your van will never move! So let the company that you transport your van with if your streets are narrow and the truck can’t get in...they’ll appreciate that.

Van TransporterAn van transporter can refer to one of two different services: either a transport broker or a carrier. Technically, an van transporter would be a carrier, because they actually transport your van; however, most carriers utilize transport brokerages to find vans to transport, because transport brokerages number in the thousands and the vast majority of customers looking to transport their vans use transport brokerages. Van transporters specialize in transporting vans, however, so if you contract with a transport brokerage you’ll still be using a carrier no matter what.

What is an Auto Carrier Quote?
an auto carrier quote is a quote that a customer receives from an auto carrier or an auto carrier company. these are actually fairly rare in the auto transport industry as most quotes are given by auto brokers and not carriers. carriers will give their transportation prices to the broker, or ask for more money if it is a difficult or long route, but most customers don’t normally talk about money with auto carriers. read article...

I can't spend the night in the museum. I don't have my toothbrush, I don't have my multi-vitamins, and oh yeah, I don't want my soul suffering eternal damnation for disrupting the sleep of an Egyptian canal digger.
