  • Vehicle Type and Size: Larger vehicles, such as SUVs, vans, buses and trucks, may require more space and resources, which can affect the cost.
  • Transport Method: Open transport is the more affordable option, while enclosed transport offers extra protection at a higher cost.
  • Pickup and Delivery Locations: Rural or hard-to-reach locations may result in higher shipping costs due to limited carrier availability.
  • Time of Year and Demand: Pricing can fluctuate based on market demand, fuel costs, and the time of year. For example, prices may be higher during peak moving seasons.

Transport Questions

1. What is the difference between open and enclosed transport?

  • Open Transport: The most common and cost-effective shipping method. Your vehicle will be securely transported on an open carrier, which may expose it to weather and road conditions, though this method is generally safe for most vehicles.
  • Enclosed Transport: Offers the highest level of protection, with your vehicle fully enclosed inside a carrier. This option is ideal for high-value, classic, or luxury vehicles that require extra protection from weather and road debris.

2. How long will it take to ship my vehicle?

The time it takes to ship your vehicle depends on several factors, including:

  • Distance between pickup and delivery locations.
  • Transport availability and route planning.
  • Whether you’ve selected expedited shipping. Typically, shipping across shorter distances may take 1–5 days, while cross-country shipments could take 7–10 days. Expedited shipping options are available for faster delivery.

3. How will I know when my vehicle will be picked up and delivered?

After booking, KR Trucking LLC will provide you with a pickup and delivery window based on your preferences and carrier availability. We’ll also provide real-time tracking so you can monitor your vehicle’s progress throughout the journey. Our customer support team is available 7 days a week for updates and inquiries.

4. Can I track my vehicle during transport?

Yes! KR Trucking LLC uses advanced tracking technology to keep you informed throughout the shipping process. You will receive regular updates and have access to real-time tracking so that you can follow your vehicle’s journey from pickup to delivery.

5. Do I need to be present for the pickup and delivery of my vehicle?

It is recommended that you or an authorized representative be present at both the pickup and delivery locations. This allows for the inspection of the vehicle and signing of the Bill of Lading. If you cannot be present, you can designate someone to act on your behalf.

Vehicle Preparation Questions

1. How should I prepare my vehicle for shipping?

Before shipping your vehicle, we recommend the following steps:

  • Clean Your Vehicle: This will allow for a more accurate inspection during pickup.
  • Remove Personal Items: All personal belongings must be removed from the vehicle, as KR Trucking LLC is not responsible for any items left inside.
  • Check for Leaks: Ensure there are no fluid leaks, and that your gas tank is no more than a quarter full.
  • Document Your Vehicle’s Condition: Take photos and notes of your vehicle’s condition before pickup for reference.

2. Can I ship personal items in my vehicle?

Yes, you can ship personal items in your car, as long as their total weight does not exceed 100 pounds and they are stored in the trunk or back seat. Please note however, that personal belongings are not covered by insurance and can result in additional weight, which may affect shipping costs. If you want to transport personal items in your car, please mark it in the comment section of the Car Shipping form.

3. What if my vehicle is inoperable?

KR Trucking LLC can transport non-operational vehicles, but this must be disclosed at the time of booking. Additional fees may apply, as special equipment may be required to load and unload the vehicle.
