Tony Mers • October 17, 2022

Logistics companies give their customers multi-faceted solutions for transporting their vehicles and more. Let’s say you’re going to move across the United States. You may have an older car you can’t rely on for long-distance driving, so you plan to fly to your destination. In that scenario, this transportation service can help deliver your vehicle to your new home.

We'll tell you what questions to ask when hiring a logistics company. With this knowledge, you can pick the right people for the job.

What Services Do You Offer?

Discover what services the logistics company offers first and foremost. Some may specialize in only one area of expertise. Ensure the company you pick can get the job done. Certain companies also offer RV, boat, tiny house, and heavy equipment transportation servicesin addition to auto transportation.

What Makes Your Company Qualified?

This is an important question to ask when hiring a logistics company. You want people you can trust. Check to see if the logistics company you employ has licensed and insured drivers. By knowing they have the proper qualifications, you can have peace of mind while they’re transporting your vehicle.

How Much Will It Cost?

Your budget is a key factor. Costs add up during a move, so it's a good idea to figure out how much the business charges for its services before making a decision. Prices often depend on the type and size of the automobile. Moving a car costs more than transporting a motorcycle, for example.

What Is the ETA of My Shipment?

The estimated time of arrival depends on how complicated your cargo is to ship and the number of miles to your new destination. Check to see if the logistics company can deliver your shipment in a time frame that works for you. On average, you can expect it to take a little over a week.

As wildfires become more frequent and intense across the U.S., the demand for fast, reliable emergency response grows more urgent by the year.

None of it reaches the front lines without logistics . But not all logistics providers are built for crisis response. When lives, property, and natural resources are on the line, having the right logistics partner can be the difference between delay and action, between chaos and coordination.
