Classic Car Shipping Planning
Short answer: a classic or restored vehicle may need special loading, clearance, condition, value, or operability planning. The assigned carrier's equipment and cargo terms—not a universal page promise—control the shipment.
Prepare the Vehicle Record
- Document modifications, leaks, braking, steering, operability, clearance, and dimensions.
- Photograph paint, glass, trim, wheels, interior, and existing defects.
- Confirm how keys, alarms, battery switches, and loose parts should be handled.
Verify the Assignment
Confirm the carrier's authority, trailer, loading and tie-down method, pickup plan, and status options. Request the cargo certificate and review limits, exclusions, deductible, and vehicle-value requirements before pickup.
Pickup and Delivery
Complete a detailed Bill of Lading at both ends. Estimated timing can change with route, weather, equipment, and carrier operations, so keep a backup contact available.
