Open Carrier Auto Transport
The standard way of
transporting vehicles is the open auto carrier method, which
is transporting cars in an open trailer carrier where they are
packed on two decks. Because of existing laws and other factors
especially financial, this has become the favored way by many if
not the ONLY one for others of moving vehicles from one place to
another. What is the big difference between the open and
closed
carriers? In an open method, cars are generally exposed and
that means exposed to the general ravages of weather, bad road
conditions, dust, and dirt as they are ferried. Owners are
usually shocked at how dirty their cars are when they arrive at
their destinations after being transported this way. Therefore,
the cars are packed tightly in the
moving truck
and driven to their destinations taking in all the harsh
elements that come their way during the journey.
So what are the advantages of this system? It is much cheaper
than the alternative method, this seems to be the major
advantage and the fact that one can transport many vehicles at a
go so for a vehicle dealer who has to transport many cars over
long distances, this is the way to go. Disadvantages mainly are
that the vehicles are usually very exposed and scratches and
little damage can occur during the trip. Dirt, rain, flying
chips and dust also easily make contact with the cars and have a
negative effect overall. |

Therefore, the car may arrive slightly devalued after using this
method of transportation. Open carriers are just that, they are
open to the elements. However, open transport is the industry
standard and 95% of all trucks out there transporting vehicles
are open trucks. Open trucks are just like the trucks you see
taking new cars to the dealership to be sold; typically, they
are 10-car haulers, meaning they have a capacity of ten
standard-sized cars. Unless you request otherwise, this is what
your vehicle will be shipped. |

It is ten times easier to find an open carrier than an enclosed
carrier, because enclosed carriers do not have many cars to
haul. An enclosed carrier can carry only two vehicles at a time,
and because their services offer more protection, it comes at a
much higher price (typically 75-100% more than an open
transporter). It is normally misconstrued that open method is
unsafe and unreliable but the reality is that more often than
not, apart from the dirt and grime the cars accumulate, they
arrive safely and that is why this method of transportation is
and will be the favored one.
In this world of general recession, you will need safe and
secure mode of transport. This is if you have a vehicle to move
or rather transport from one place to another. The open
auto career transport is the best solution to your auto
moving problems. It is affordable and efficient. It is also
readily available. |
