Welcome to Stress-Free New Jersey Auto Transport. Moving a vehicle through the Garden State—or thousands of miles beyond it—doesn’t have to mean slogging down the Turnpike, wrangling I-95 traffic, or burning vacation days behind the wheel. At KR Trucking we turn complicated logistics into one easy hand-off with our full-service New Jersey auto transport services. From shipping a family SUV in Hoboken to a new home in Houston, to protecting a concours-level muscle car traveling from Cherry Hill to Los Angeles, to relocating an entire fleet of delivery vans out of Newark, we move every ride quickly, safely, and at a price that makes sense.
Why New Jersey Drivers Trust Professional Vehicle Shipping
New Jersey residents are famously mobile. Financial professionals commute daily from Bergen County, military families transfer in and out of Joint Base MDL, college students migrate to campuses across the country, and classic-car collectors scour every auction catalog on the East Coast. All that movement makes dependable car transport service a necessity, not a luxury.
-
Time savings – skip multi-day road trips and spend your hours settling into a new home, office, or dorm
-
Predictable costs – one line-item invoice replaces fuel, tolls, hotel stays, and unexpected roadside repairs
-
Vehicle protection – keep rock chips, tire wear, and odometer miles off your pride and joy
-
Scheduling flexibility – fly, train, or drive another vehicle while your shipment travels independently
-
Peace of mind – licensed, insured professionals monitor every mile and update you along the way
When you book KR Trucking’s New Jersey auto transport services, the only road you have to think about is your driveway on delivery day.
Shipping Options Built Around Your Needs
Every move is different, so our menu of services is designed to flex with budget, timeline, and the kind of vehicle you own.
Open-Carrier Transport
Those two-deck trailers you see hauling new cars down Route 22 are open carriers. They’re cost-effective, load quickly, and roll out of New Jersey ports and railheads every day. For daily drivers, motorcycles, work vans, or dealer inventory, open transport is the perfect blend of speed and value.
Enclosed-Carrier Transport
When you need museum-level protection—think vintage Shelby, supercar, prototype EV, or freshly restored show truck—an enclosed trailer provides four solid walls, a lift gate, and higher cargo-insurance limits. No rain, road grit, or prying eyes reach your vehicle, and soft-strap tie-downs keep paint pristine.
Door-to-Door Delivery
Our most popular upgrade brings the truck to an address you choose—home, office, marina, or storage facility—so you never lose time meeting at a distant depot. If local streets can accommodate a 75-foot rig, the driver pulls in, loads, secures, and leaves.
Terminal-to-Terminal Service
Looking to trim the bill? Drop off and pick up at one of the yards. You’ll save money and still receive the same professional handling and insurance coverage.
Step-by-Step: How Our Car Transport Service Works
-
Request a quote – Use our online form or call the New Jersey dispatch desk with origin, destination, dates, and vehicle details.
-
Book your slot – Approve the estimate, place a small deposit, and receive the carrier’s USDOT number and insurance certificate.
-
Vehicle pickup – The driver photographs your car, documents its condition on a digital bill of lading, and secures it with soft straps or wheel nets.
-
In-transit updates – You get text or e-mail checkpoints every 24 hours, plus any ETA tweaks caused by weather or traffic.
-
Delivery inspection – On arrival you compare the car to your photos, sign the paperwork, and pay any remaining balance.
-
Hit the road – Enjoy your vehicle at its new address—same mileage, zero road fatigue.
Preparing Your Vehicle for a Smooth Journey
A little prep work speeds loading and eliminates surprises.
-
Wash the exterior and tidy the cabin—clean panels make existing scratches easy to document.
-
Photograph every angle, wheel, glass panel, and the odometer. Time-stamped pics are your best safeguard.
-
Remove personal belongings, toll tags, garage remotes, and loose accessories; carrier insurance doesn’t cover them.
-
Check tire pressure, top fluids, and leave about a quarter tank of fuel—light yet usable for loading and unloading.
-
Disable aftermarket alarms; false sirens can delay an entire convoy.
-
Fold mirrors, retract antennas, and secure add-ons like bike racks.
Insurance and Safety—Your Built-In Security Net
Every KR Trucking shipment includes primary cargo insurance—$250,000 of coverage for standard bookings and optional tiers up for high-value iron. We vet partner carriers for FMCSA licensing, spotless safety scores, and rigorous maintenance schedules. Your contract lists coverage limits in plain English so you can decide if additional insurance is worthwhile.
What Shapes the Cost of New Jersey Auto Transport Services?
| Cost Driver | Typical Impact | Smart-Shopper Tip |
|---|---|---|
| Distance & route | Cross-country costs more overall but less per mile than local moves | Bundle multiple vehicles or share a trailer with friends to split base miles |
| Vehicle size & weight | A lifted F-350 occupies more deck space than a Mini Cooper | Remove toolboxes or rooftop tents to slim the footprint |
| Carrier type | Enclosed runs roughly 35 % higher than open | Choose open for daily drivers; reserve enclosed for collectibles |
| Seasonal demand | Summer moves and winter snowbird runs spike rates | Ship mid-spring or late fall for friendlier pricing |
| Pickup window | Same-day requests carry premium fees | Offer a five-day window for carrier flexibility |
Seasonal Trends—and How to Use Them to Your Advantage
-
Summer – College students, corporate movers, and vacation homeowners flood the market, raising prices 10–15 percent.
-
Fall – Carrier capacity loosens once schools reopen; September and October are hidden-gem months for bargains.
-
Winter – Snowbird migration to Florida drives up southbound demand; westbound lanes stay moderate.
-
Spring – Early-spring returns from the Sun Belt fill northbound rigs; late spring settles into predictable, steady rates.
If your schedule allows, target the shoulder weeks—mid-September through October or February through early March—for the best blend of availability and price.
Popular Lanes Out of New Jersey
New Jersey → Texas
Roughly 1,600 miles door-to-door. Typical transit: seven–eight days open, eight–nine days enclosed. Crossing multiple climates, enclosed transport is smart for freshly detailed show cars.
New Jersey → Florida
A snowbird favorite. Rigs leave daily down I-95; door-to-door delivery lands in three to four days. Demand peaks December and April—book early.
New Jersey → California
About 2,800 miles across mountains and deserts. Expect ten–twelve days transit. Enclosed trailers sell out during events like Monterey Car Week—reserve a month ahead.
Corporate and Dealer Solutions
From Manheim Bordentown auction runs to Port Newark import allocations, New Jersey moves thousands of vehicles monthly. KR Trucking supplies VIN-level tracking, e-signed receipts, and geofenced yard arrivals so accounting teams reconcile inventory fast. Whether you need one demo car shuttled to Philadelphia or an entire lease return batch trucked to Atlanta, we have the capacity.
After Delivery—Your Next Steps
Keep the signed bill of lading and those time-stamped photos for at least 30 days. If hidden damage appears (rare, but possible), contact our claims team within 24 hours. We promise an initial response within one business day and a clear resolution path inside five. Don’t forget to update insurance and registration if your new ZIP code changes coverage requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions
How far ahead should I schedule?
Two weeks is perfect, but we often secure space within 48 hours on popular lanes.
May I pack luggage in my trunk?
We advise against it. Personal items aren’t covered by cargo insurance and can shift during transit.
Will my car stay on one trailer?
On most routes, yes. If a transfer is required, you’re notified before booking and insurance stays in force.
What if my plans change?
Call us. We can shift pickup windows or store your vehicle at a secure yard for a modest daily rate.
Do you discount multiple vehicles?
Absolutely. Families and dealerships shipping two or more units on the same lane enjoy lower per-car pricing.
