After the quotation process, you can respond by email or phone confirming your order. You  can PRINT out the necessary forms from our PRINT FORMS menu item or we will fax  you an Order Confirmation form and a Shipping Contract Terms and Conditions form on request which you have to complete, sign and fax or mail back at your earliest convenience. These documents confirm that you are aware of the legal issues, the payment procedure, the pick up and delivery scheduling methods; it also gives JTML your correct address and all phone numbers for both the pick up and delivery locations. We want you to be fully informed. Please see auto transport FAQ's. Your auto transport truck reservation can not be placed until we have this signed order.

As soon as you fax your shipping order and Contract,  you will give JTML your deposit, which allows the Dispatch team to book and hold a spot on an auto transport truck, which can get to your pick up and delivery area in the approximate time windows quoted to you.

Auto transport payment

PRICE - The first question you'll want answered is "what is the total cost?" Obtain quotes from several companies and be prepared to provide the following information to ensure an accurate quote:

origination/destination locations

departure date window for pick-up

type of vehicle(s) to be shipped

type of service desired (e.g., shipping vs. driveaway)

special requests (e.g., drop off at a terminal vs. at your home)

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, credit card or cashiers check. The deposit can be paid either in cash, cashiers check or by credit card.

To protect your valuable vehicle, please prepare it for auto shipping. See our TIPS page: which is a very important page. The driver will call you within 12 to 24 hours before he will be at your pick up point to schedule the actual meeting. Be sure we have all phone numbers and cell phone numbers, he will be trying to reach you and can only call when the cell phone in the truck has service.

At pick up, the truck driver will inspect your vehicle, noting its condition and the mileage on the odometer. Before you and he sign the Bill of Lading inspection, please look it over to see that it is completely filled out and is accurate. Be sure you get a copy of this inspection and check it against your car at the auto relocation destination point.

Your vehicle will be transported on an open or closed car transporter. The car transporter will be any where from a  three to ten car carrier, just like the ones that the factory uses to deliver new cars to the dealerships. Except for loading and unloading, your car is never driven without your knowledge.

You or your agent will receive a call for the car transport delivery 12 to 24 hours before the actual meeting to discuss the area, directions and estimated meeting time. Please be sure that you have your COD payment, if any, ready for the driver.

It is your responsibility to inspect your vehicle for damage when it is delivered. JTML can only help you file a claim for damage against the auto transport truck if it is noted on the delivery Bill of Lading.
