FAQ
Premier Auto Carriers — Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about booking vehicle transport through ShipMyCar US with vetted carriers like Premier Auto Carriers.
QIs Premier Auto Carriers licensed and insured?
Yes. Premier Auto Carriers holds active FMCSA Motor Carrier authority (MC-487445) and US DOT registration (DOT #1237615), and carries federally required liability insurance plus cargo insurance. ShipMyCar US verifies every carrier's credentials before dispatch.
QWhat types of vehicles does Premier Auto Carriers transport?
Premier Auto Carriers handles standard sedans, SUVs, trucks, vans, and crossovers on open transport trailers. Enclosed transport for high-value, classic, or specialty vehicles can be arranged through the ShipMyCar US network.
QHow do I book a shipment with Premier Auto Carriers?
You don't book directly with the carrier. Submit a free quote request through ShipMyCar US — we match your route and vehicle to available carriers including Premier Auto Carriers and handle all dispatch, paperwork, and insurance verification.
QHow long does delivery take?
Transit times depend on your origin and destination. Shorter regional routes typically take 1–3 days; coast-to-coast shipments average 7–10 days. Your ShipMyCar US coordinator provides an estimated delivery window at the time of booking.
QWhat is a Bill of Lading and why does it matter?
The Bill of Lading (BOL) is the legal record of your vehicle's condition at pickup and delivery. Both you and the driver inspect and sign it at each end. Any new damage noted at delivery that was not present at pickup is the basis for an insurance claim.
QWill my vehicle be driven or hauled?
Your vehicle is loaded onto a transport trailer — it is not driven to the destination. Odometer readings at pickup and delivery should match, with only minor variation from the few feet of movement required to load and unload the trailer.
