THE SHORT ANSWER
This service moves the truck as a vehicle. It is different from booking freight space for goods carried inside a truck. Tell us about lift kits, dual rear wheels, extended beds, roof equipment, service bodies and other changes that affect transport dimensions. A standard pickup and a large commercial truck can require very different loading and trailer arrangements. We review the individual vehicle rather than assuming every truck fits a standard carrier.

What shapes your truck transport quote?
A useful quote reflects the actual shipment. Send the route, specifications and preferred dates rather than relying on a generic price.
Route & distance
Pickup and delivery locations affect the journey, available capacity and access. Give exact cities or ZIP codes, including rural or restricted sites.
Size & weight
The truck must fit the selected equipment. Supply actual dimensions and declare modifications, accessories or permanently installed systems.
Operating condition
Starting, rolling, steering and braking condition influence loading. Explain any fault before the quote is confirmed.
Transport method
Open, enclosed, carried or specialist arrangements have different equipment requirements. Confirm the service requested.
Dates & availability
A preferred window helps planning. Fixed release deadlines, seasonal demand and short-notice requests should be discussed early.
Site access & support
Road restrictions, available loading equipment, contact hours and staging space can affect the collection and delivery plan.
06 / YOUR TRANSPORT GUIDE
A pickup is not automatically a standard-car load.
Open carriers may suit a stock pickup, while a taller, heavier or modified truck can need another trailer arrangement. Covered transport also depends on internal clearance and loading access. Confirm the actual equipment in the written quote.

Your truck shipping questions
A few practical answers before you request a quote.
Can you move a lifted pickup?+
Provide its actual dimensions and modifications. The team can then assess trailer fit, clearance and loading.
Can a dually be transported?+
The width and weight must be reviewed. Send the model and actual measurements rather than relying on a standard brochure specification.
Does the truck need to run?+
Non-running vehicles may be possible with suitable loading arrangements. Disclose the condition at the quote stage.
Can tools remain in the truck?+
Remove loose tools and cargo unless their inclusion has been specifically agreed. Fixed equipment must be declared.
Can you collect at an auction?+
Provide the release documents, lot contact, collection rules and any removal deadline.
Why can truck pricing differ from car pricing?+
A truck can occupy more space or require different equipment because of its dimensions, weight and loading needs.
How long will the journey take?+
The route, equipment, collection window and operating conditions influence timing. Your coordinator confirms an estimate for the agreed shipment.
Who should be available for the handover?+
A responsible releasing contact and a receiving contact should be arranged so access, inspection and paperwork can be completed.
