Insured Transporter of Antique, Classic and Collector Cars
As owners of classic cars ourselves, we realized that there was a real need for the careful transport of these special vehicles. Therefore, we have added our own flat-bed, open transports to our fleet and have searched out auto transporter partners who can and will provide the same careful attention you would if you were moving the vehicle yourself.
Tips for Shipping Antique, Classic and Collector Cars
The following information will help you prepare your collector car for shipping:
- Secure or remove any loose parts or specialty items such as ground effects, spoilers, fog lights, or wide mirrors, and lower or remove the antenna if possible.
- Repair or seal any tears or open seams on convertible tops to prevent fast-moving air from causing further damage.
- Make sure the radiator has adequate levels of fresh antifreeze.
- Be sure that the battery is secure, has no leaks, and that the fluid levels are low enough to accommodate expansion.
- Leave only about ¼ tank of gas in the vehicle, as a full tank of gasoline adds a lot of costly weight to the transport.
- Deactivate or disconnect anti-theft devices. There can be serious problems and unnecessary expenses if the driver is locked out or if the alarm goes off during the auto shipping process or the car transport.
- Make sure that your vehicle is clean enough to ensure an accurate pickup inspection.
*** Please open one window very slightly to relieve pressure due to temperature and elevation changes. This will allow for your vehicle(s) to breathe and protect window(s) from blowing out because of the temperature and pressure changes during transport.
Freight Brokerage
Mt. Richmond Truck Lines, LLC is our growing Freight Brokerage company that is currently booking loads all across the United States. We have 48 state transfer authority for our brokerage as well as our for our carrier company, Mt. Richmond Trucking.
A common questions is, "Can't I arrange transport with an auto shipping or car transport trucking company directly?" There is usually no difference between the rates quoted by a Broker and those of a carrier. Most carriers travel very specific routes and may not be able to accommodate your pickup point, destination, or schedule. Many people aren't aware that if the carrier they choose is unable to service their requirements, that carrier may broker the transportation to a different transport company anyway. As a Bonded Broker, we deal with a large network of auto shipping and car transport companies who service many different routes. We deal only with reputable carriers who are properly licensed and insured, and we act as the liaison between the carrier and you, the customer. We have a well established base of trucks providing quality service to assure you a worry free move.
