You’ve seen them on the highway transporting shiny new sports cars or SUVs. Sometimes they’re packed with one model. Other times there’s a mix of models, both old and new. Maybe you’ve wondered who ships a car when they can drive it and assumed that whatever the vehicle, its owner is uber-wealthy.
The truth is that 95% of the vehicles we ship are for everyday reasons and regular people like yourself who’ve worked out that the minimal cost and maximum convenience of vehicle transport makes shipping a car not only cost effective but a stress-free, resource-saving alternative to driving cross-co ..read more

In 1984, Clark Griswold and his wife, Ellen, set off with their kids, Rusty and Audrey, on a 2,400 cross-country trip from their home in the Chicago ‘burbs to “Walley World” in California.
If you’re thinking about making a road trip of similar distance, whether cross-country or down the East Coast, it pays to consider the costs (and prepare for any potential trouble) you’ll encounter along the way.

1994 was a big year. Amazon was founded, the “information superhighway” was gaining traction, and moveauto opened its doors, offering vehicle transportation across the U.S. While much has changed since then, some things have come full circle.
Perhaps the most significant change in the auto industry and for auto transport companies like ours, was the increase in both size (length and width) and weight of vehicles. Auto transport trailers were typically built to carry 10 cars, but with the proliferation of SUVs, which weigh significantly more than passenger cars, the total allowable weigh ..read more

Cross-country trips can be an incredible experience. But the truth is that you don’t pack for a road trip the same way you prepare for a life-changing move with all your worldly belongings to a new location. When there’s a specific destination and timeline in place — and a whole household of items to unpack — a long, leisurely road trip is probably best saved for another time.
In any case, be sure you know what you’re getting into. Here’s a list of some common hazards you’re likely to encounter on an extended road trip — and tips that can help you prepare for a high-mile journey.

Moving is one of the top three most stressful events in a person’s life. That means if you’re going to ask an employee or new hire to move for their job, you’re asking a lot.
Fortunately, many employees are willing to pack up and move for their work. In a survey conducted by staffing agency Robert Half, 62% of people said they would relocate for a position. Whether they’re attracted to the new location, the perks of the job, or they’re simply looking for a change of scenery, it seems most people would willingly move for a job despite knowing the associated challenges of such a drastic l ..read more
