State to State Truck Towing

State To State Truck Towing With A-1 Auto Transport, Inc.

Finding state-to-state truck towing services isn’t particularly difficult, but finding the right company to work with and, more importantly, which one offers quality services at the cheapest rate does take some work. At A-1 Auto Transport, we believe in providing high-end towing and shifting services at a fraction of the cost of many of the other options in the industry. With over 25 years of experience, we have a uniquely efficient workflow, allowing us to streamline every facet of our business, including haul times, cost savings, and general best practices. We understand that getting your vehicle towed from one state to another can be a stressful and, at times, expensive endeavor, both of which are issues we aim to alleviate with every customer.

Understanding your options when having a truck towed between states will help you find the perfect service for what you need and save some money along the way. Most interstate vehicle shifting offers two primary options as to which method you prefer. The first is an open or enclosed shipment, with open carriers hauling trucks on the back of the trailer and enclosed carriers surrounding the vehicle on all sides, as you would see with a box truck. Your second primary choice is between door-to-door shipping and terminal haul. When using a moving terminal, you must retrieve the vehicle from the nearest depot, whereas door-to-door services pick up and deliver the truck directly to a specific address.

How to Prepare Your Truck for State-to-State Towing?

• Wash off the truck's and the cab's exterior, ensuring the interior is also clean and free of any personal items. The interior may not legally have any other items stored in it during shifting.
• Document any interior and exterior damages before the truck is loaded onto the carrier. This is so that you have documentation to compare against after delivery to make sure no dings, dents, or scratches occur during shipment.
• Check all fluids and ensure the fuel tank doesn’t exceed a quarter of a tank. The truck is not driven during shipping (except loading and unloading), and extra fuel adds up to more weight, potentially costing more.
• Check tires for appropriate air pressure, as the truck needs to be rolled onto and off the carrier.
• Gather any documentation asked for by the relocator. This may include the title and registration of the vehicle as well as your license. Check with the shipper to make sure you have all the necessary paperwork.
• A spare set of keys for the drive for loading and unloading purposes.
