How to Prepare Your Vehicle for Cross Country Shipping
Proper preparation ensures a smooth shipping process and helps avoid potential issues. Follow these steps before your car is picked up for cross country transport:

Before Pickup
- Clean your vehicle: Wash your car thoroughly to make it easier to identify any existing damage.
- Document condition: Take detailed photos of your vehicle from all angles to document its pre-shipping condition.
- Remove personal items: Clear out all personal belongings (most insurance policies don’t cover personal items).
- Disable alarms: Turn off or provide instructions for disabling any car alarms.
- Check for leaks: Ensure your vehicle isn’t leaking any fluids.
- Maintain gas level: Keep your gas tank between 1/8 and 1/4 full (reduces weight while providing enough fuel for loading/unloading).
- Secure or remove loose parts: Remove or secure any custom parts, antennas, or accessories.
During Pickup & Delivery
- Be present for inspection: Participate in the pre-shipping inspection with the driver.
- Review the BOL: Carefully review the Bill of Lading and note any existing damage.
- Provide contact information: Ensure the driver has your current phone number and email.
- Confirm delivery details: Verify the delivery address and expected timeframe.
- Inspect upon delivery: Thoroughly inspect your vehicle upon delivery before signing the final BOL.
- Note any issues: Document any new damage immediately and report it to the carrier.
- Keep all paperwork: Retain all shipping documents for your records.
