Preparation

How to Prepare Your
Vehicle for Pickup

A few simple steps before the carrier arrives make the process smoother for everyone.

Keep the Tank ¼ Full

Carriers prefer a quarter tank or less — it reduces weight on the trailer and is standard industry practice.

Remove Personal Items

Personal belongings are not covered by cargo insurance. Remove valuables and keep the interior clear for inspection.

Document the Condition

Take photos of all four sides, the roof, and any pre-existing damage before the carrier arrives. This protects you at delivery.

Disable Alarms & Toll Tags

Disable any aftermarket alarms that may trigger during transport. Remove or cover toll transponders to avoid unexpected charges.

Confirm Who Will Be Present

You or an authorized representative must be available to inspect and sign the Bill of Lading at both pickup and delivery.

Note Any Mechanical Issues

Let your coordinator know about any leaks, loose parts, or mechanical issues in advance so the carrier can prepare appropriately.

FAQ

Questions Customers Ask
Before Booking

Everything you need to know about the auto transport process with ADL Logistics.

Pricing depends on distance, vehicle type, open or enclosed transport, pickup flexibility, operability, and current carrier availability. ADL reviews each route before presenting the quote — no hidden fees.
A broker coordinates your shipment through a carrier network, vets carrier fit, checks insurance, explains pickup and delivery windows, and helps manage communication through delivery. ADL acts as your advocate from quote to drop-off.
Carriers must carry cargo insurance. ADL verifies carrier insurance before dispatch and can explain coverage details before booking. All carriers in our network are FMCSA compliant and fully bonded.
Yes, but non-running vehicles require the right carrier equipment. The quote form captures whether the vehicle rolls, steers, brakes, or needs a winch — so we can match you with the right carrier from the start.
Yes. An authorized representative can handle pickup or delivery as long as they can inspect the vehicle and sign the Bill of Lading. Let your coordinator know who to expect at each end before dispatch.
Transit times depend on distance. Short routes under 500 miles typically take 1–3 days. Cross-country shipments of 2,000+ miles generally take 7–10 days. Expedited options are available for faster pickup on qualifying routes.
The Bill of Lading is the official condition report signed at pickup and delivery. It documents the vehicle's condition before transport and serves as the legal record for any damage claims. Always review it carefully and note any discrepancies before signing at delivery.
A small refundable deposit is collected at booking via credit or debit card. The remaining balance is typically paid directly to the driver upon delivery, unless your shipment is prepaid. Various electronic payment methods are accepted.
