My car runs, but it will probably need to be jump-started to make it run.
Your car will need to start on its own unless your are using the in-op service. Even a jump-start requires more of the driver's time and they can be quite difficult to do once your vehicle is on a transport truck. If the battery will hold a charge, but there is a slow drain on the electrical system, then it is usually acceptable to leave instructions for the driver to disconnect the battery while in transport. If you have any questions about this matter you should address them with your shipping company.
My car is in the process of being restored. What are the requirements for it to be shipped by an auto shipping company?
In most cases your car must have the ability to roll unless you can load and unload it with a fork lift. Most auto shipping carriers will not have the ability to load or unload an non-rolling vehicle.
What methods can you use to make my car secure for transport?
Many drivers will use soft straps that slip over the tires for older cars, but in some cases it is better to use chains to secure your vehicle in place. Drivers are very well versed in knowing which method is best to secure your paticular vehicle.
I can start my car, but there is a certain procedure. How will your driver know?
In this case we usually ask that you write any special instructions down for the driver or give them to the transport company when you place your order. Drivers appreciate any insight you can give them on how to properly operate your vehicle. It is understood that all cars have their different quarks and at times special steps need to be followed.
