They would use their flatbed trucks to haul a single car for long distances. They charged by the mile, doubling the distance so they would be paid for the \u201cdeadhead\u201d trip back to home base. It\u2019s pretty easy to see the inefficiency with this plan, and the tow truck owners saw it, too. The towing companies started waiting until they had several cars to be delivered to the same general direction. This saved them a tremendous amount in expenses, and greatly increased their profit margins.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f8e555a elementor-invisible\" data-id=\"f8e555a\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;slideInRight&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3f4610e elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"3f4610e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.21.0 - 30-04-2024 *\/\n.elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=\".svg\"]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block}<\/style>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/national-autotransport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/car-transport-truck-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1723\" alt=\"car-transport-truck\" srcset=\"https:\/\/national-autotransport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/car-transport-truck-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/national-autotransport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/car-transport-truck-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/national-autotransport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/car-transport-truck-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/national-autotransport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/car-transport-truck-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/national-autotransport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/car-transport-truck.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-769fb11 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default elementor-invisible\" data-id=\"769fb11\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;zoomIn&quot;,&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-cd685c1\" data-id=\"cd685c1\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-3400089 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3400089\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-aa8a1a7\" data-id=\"aa8a1a7\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e3acf4f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e3acf4f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>It also helped, because by the time they had several cars to deliver, they also had cars to pick up for the return trip, preventing them from having to run empty. The problem with this is that your car may sit in the tow truck yard for a week or more, until the auto transport company has enough cars queued up to make the trip worth it. Since the vehicle transport company has many employees, and since most of the vehicles will be moved from one truck to another, the car transport companies developed a policy which does not allow any personal effects to be left in your vehicle. Why would your car have to travel on more than one truck? If, for instance, your car was traveling from San Diego to Miami, your car would first go to Phoenix with several other cars. It would then be transferred to another vehicle transport for the trip to Dallas and then moved to another vehicle transport for the rest of the trip to Miami. Each time your car is transferred to another truck, it may sit in the yard for a few days with each transfer.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-27c5eac elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"27c5eac\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-wide\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-ce3fa93 elementor-invisible\" data-id=\"ce3fa93\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;slideInRight&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a7cd6b3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a7cd6b3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>This drastically increases the opportunities for your car to be compromised, and items can be taken from it. With the advent of the internet in 1998, many tow companies, now auto transport companies, started coordinating their shipments, grouping cars that were to be shipped together. This helps, now, to reduce the amount of time your car has to wait for a ride. Now, the vehicle transport truck will run a particular route, picking up and delivering cars along this route as they go along. The car carrier will choose which cars he will transport, often going straight to the pick-up point, rather than a tow yard. The car carrier and the company policies will determine what you can ship inside the car. So, when you reserve your car moving date, make sure you go over the auto transport company\u2019s policies to see what they allow. For instance, most auto shipping companies will not ship your car if you leave such things as:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-72c8d8d elementor-icon-list--layout-traditional elementor-list-item-link-full_width elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon-list\" data-id=\"72c8d8d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon-list.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"https:\/\/national-autotransport.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/elementor\/assets\/css\/widget-icon-list.min.css\">\t\t<ul class=\"elementor-icon-list-items\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-check\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M173.898 439.404l-166.4-166.4c-9.997-9.997-9.997-26.206 0-36.204l36.203-36.204c9.997-9.998 26.207-9.998 36.204 0L192 312.69 432.095 72.596c9.997-9.997 26.207-9.997 36.204 0l36.203 36.204c9.997 9.997 9.997 26.206 0 36.204l-294.4 294.401c-9.998 9.997-26.207 9.997-36.204-.001z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\">Any kind of food.
