Q. Are vehicles fully insured during auto relocation
with JTML Auto Transport?
Yes, your vehicle is fully insured to the market
value the entire time it is on the car transport
truck. A copy of the insurance policy will
be made available if requered.
Q. How much lead time is needed to ensure an on time
delivery in JTML' car transport? To help us meet the dates you ask
for, and to get the best auto relocation service,
try to book as early as possible. We will take an
order with any notice, however, two weeks is the
average lead time. See our useful tips
section for more information about car transport
deliveries.
Q. Will JTML Auto transport a vehicle that does not
run?Yes.
However, there is an additional surcharge of $250
added to the auto shipping charge for any car that
is or becomes inoperable during auto shipping.
The inop surcharge can be paid with the deposit
or added to the COD balance paid at the car transport
delivery.
Q. How much personal goods may I pack into my vehicle?
Under
100 pounds in the trunk will not make the truck
overweight. However, it is at your own risk. Personal
belongings are not covered by car transport
insurance for damage or theft, the added weight
may cause damage to the exhaust system which
is not covered by auto shipping insurance, items
not packed properly may damage the interior, which
is not covered, and the DOT does not allow household
or personal goods in vehicles during car transport.
Q. Why am I not able to get
anyone in auto shipping to quote the exact
day and time my car will be picked up or delivered?
Federal
DOT laws dictate that each car transport driver
can drive only for 10 hours per day. The auto shipping
delivery schedule is further affected by weather,
road & traffic conditions and mechanical functions.
The pickup and delivery details of the other cars
on each load affect each one. Though there can not
be a guaranteed car moving delivery, JTML will make
every effort to deliver within the quoted time window.
Coast to coast car transport is estimated at
7 to 14 business days, up and down the East Coast
or the West Coast at about 3-5 days, and
from the Midwest to the East Coast or the West Coast
at about 6-8 days.
No
one can honestly guarantee a day or time of day
for car transport pick up or delivery. We at JTML
Auto Transport will work with you through the car
transport process from pick up to delivery. Please
see our Contact Us page.
Q. Will I be kept abreast of the exact location of my
vehicle during the car transport process?
As much as is possible. For the safety of our driver
and the other drivers on the road, the DOT demands
that auto shipping companies limit the calls to
the drivers. You will be called approximately 24
hours before both the pickup and delivery.
Q. How can we pay for our car transport or auto shipping?
Once
you have received a quote and would like to ship
with us, a minimum deposit will be required, then
upon delivery of your vehicle the balance will be
paid in cash or cashiers check.
Q. What if I can not be available for pick up or delivery
for my car transport?
If
the vehicle owner or customer cannot be available,
a person should be designated to act as the agent
at pick up or delivery. If not, the vehicle will
be stored at the customers expense. If you are not
available, we will work with you to try to find
a way to help your agent represent you in the process
to save you this extra expense.
Q. What about I.C.C. regulations?All transports and pricing conform
to I.C.C. regulations. Our one-price quoting is
your final amount with no hidden extras. Transports
are based on volume with carriers ready and waiting.
Q. Do we handle urgent Requests.Time-sensitive emergencies will
be handled with priority status. Contact our customer
service staff, and we will put your mind at ease.
Q. WHAT
HAPPENS IF I AM NOT THERE TO RECEIVE MY CAR WHEN
IT ARRIVES?
In the event you cannot be reached
in a suitable amount of time, or you are not in
the area, your vehicle will either remain in the
truck for a later delivery, or the vehicle will
be put in storage until such time as you can arrange
for it to be picked up. Vehicles put in storage
are subject to additional charges at a reasonable
rate.
