Why Open Auto Shippers are So Easy to Find
If you didn’t know, open car transporters are pretty much the standard method of shipping a vehicle from or to anywhere in the United States. Finding an open auto shipping company should be easier than finding any other type of car transporter, as they are the most common on the road and the number of them out there today is higher than both enclosed and flatbed carriers combined. In short, open auto shippers are the standard on the road today, and that’s a big reason why they are so easy to find nowadays.
By being the standard method of shipping a vehicle, open carriers tend to be the easiest type of carrier to find, and thus the cheapest method of shipping a vehicle available to you. Open carriers can haul up to ten vehicles on a single run, which means that they can ultimately save money on many routes while still keeping prices for their customers more competitive. It’s kind of a self-fulfilling prophecy; open shippers are the cheapest carriers on the road because they’re the most numerous, but they’re the most numerous because they’re the cheapest – kind of interesting, when you think about it.
Of course, the fact that they’re so cheap comes from their ability to ship multiple vehicles at once. Not only that, but they can haul most any standard-sized vehicle, including cars, trucks, sport utility vehicles, minivans and cargo vans, and more. Things like motorcycles, ATV’s, motorhomes, travel trailers, boats and other specialty vehicles usually won’t be able to be transported on an open auto transport truck, but this has more to do with how an open carrier is configured and less to do with anything else. Some vehicles just can’t fit on a standard open car carrier; they’re built with cars, trucks and SUV’s in mind, not boats and travel trailers.
