By law, transporters are not permitted to haul personal item in a vehicle. Most companies will not insure personal items. Semi-trucks have limits on weight by our governing body to protect the roads and the truck from unnecessary damage. Trucks are weighed in every state to ensure compliance. Fines for being overweight can get steep, so its best practices to transport your vehicle empty. items such are spare tires, small tool boxes, and small items are permitted with prior notice. Vehicle must not contain any illegal substances, firearm's, or hazardous materials.

Yes. All carriers are required by law to have insurance and insured for up to the vehicle current market value. A lot of carriers typically get coverage around $150,000 for open transport and $250,000 for enclosed so we recommend asking your carrier for their coverage to make sure your vehicle is properly insured. We personally recommend at least $500,000-$750,000 at the minimum in cargo insurance.

Your vehicle will only be driven on and off the truck. Drivers may have to unload and reload your vehicle during transport based on the position in the trailer. Drivers tend to load vehicles based on the destination to avoid unnecessary movement of the vehicle. Drivers notate and take a photo on the odometer on pickup and delivery. We recommend that our customers also take photos on pick up and delivery to ensure quality of service.

A bill of lading is a document issued by a carrier to acknowledge receipt of cargo for shipment. Although the term historically related only to carriage by sea, a bill of lading may today be used for any type of carriage of goods. The driver will conduct a bill of lading on both pickup and delivery.

An open trailer is uncovered and is more frequently used. These are normally cheaper than enclosed trailers. Be aware that with an open trailer, your vehicle will be exposed to the elements of nature while being transported. An enclosed trailer has a covered freight area and is most commonly used when transporting an expensive luxury or classic vehicle that you wish to protect.

Choosing to ship your vehicle via enclosed trailer protects it from the elements of the road, and offers a higher level of security, our drivers have years of experience in handling high-end vehicles.

We offer 6-7 car hardside lift-gate trailers that can fit three cars on the upper deck and three on the bottom. One car, as well as two-car haulers, are available for hotshot and expedited time-sensitive loads.

If there were a 5+ rating I would use it! Roman and his team have been moving our cars between Washington and California every season for the past 5+ years. In the past we had used other services and had problems. We have never had an issue with GAS.

Alan Zoltie

First time shipping a car out-of-state; obviously nervous and apprehensive. Roman thoroughly explained the process and keep me posted on actual pick up date & time.  Car arrived in Denver in the exact same condition it left Bellingham. Will certainly used GAS Motorsport again. DF

Dave Fleming

Very flexible, delivered my vehicle on a revised date and within minutes of ETA. Communications were excellent from start to finish and made the transition seem less. Would use their service again!

I moved 2 vehicles with them. Fast service at a fair price. I liked that my cars were stored inside their secure shop until pick up. Once on the truck they sent me photos and contact info for the driver. Highly recommended!
