Moving a vehicle, whether from an OEM, or directly from an upfitter to avoid a lengthy, unpredictable ship-thru process, or simply to reposition it, is an involved and complex process for a fleet manager to handle. However, that management burden can be immediately and simply shifted to an expert– a provider of specialized vehicle transport and relocation services.<\/span><\/p>\n

The best providers are devoted to customer service, which includes delivering peace of mind by managing the risk of moving valuable assets, whether locally or across the country. Leading vehicle transport\/relocation firms accomplish each move by drawing on the extensive experience they\u2019ve gained over years of operation.<\/span><\/p>\n

These companies also stay on top of technology, offering everything from quick and easy electronic quoting to dispatching\/routing and real-time communications that make every move transparent to customers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Last but certainly not least, leading vehicle transporters employ highly skilled and trained professional drivers licensed and to operate every type of over-the-road vehicle. The most effective providers can boast a nationwide network of qualified drivers who can transport any type of vehicle wherever and, most importantly, when it is needed. These professionals should go through a robust onboarding process, receive regular safety training, and continuous monitoring of their performance and safety.<\/span><\/p>\n

Staying in touch<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

When transparent, clear communications are delivered about any move in near-real time, the customer can rest assured that the vehicle, whether it\u2019s moving to a location one town over or is being delivered three states away, is being handled in a professional and safe manner.<\/span><\/p>\n

The tailored package of services that are rolled together for an Auto Driveaway move starts with clear communication with the customer to assess their needs and stay within their time frames. Once a move is arranged, the Auto Driveway team will match the job with one of the professional drivers in the company\u2019s nationwide network. Then the most efficient and cost-effective route will be laid out for the move. In some cases, a job can be dispatched the very same day.<\/span><\/p>\n

Throughout the process, the Auto Driveaway dispatch team remains in constant contact with the driver, tracking the vehicle\u2019s progress to its final destination. The dispatch team also handles all post-delivery administrative tasks.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ultimately, it is the qualified professional behind the wheel who completes the move with stellar service from start to finish. They deliver the vehicle the way the fleet wants it dropped off \u2014 to the driver or to a central business headquarters, during regular business hours or off hours, fully tanked up or with just enough fuel to get the driver to a gas station. But no matter the specific requests, the vehicle arrives clean, undamaged, and ready to drive.<\/span><\/p>\n

Behind the wheel<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

No wonder Auto Driveaway sees its drivers as the key to a successful vehicle move, which is why it views providing a driver as much more than putting someone behind the wheel.<\/span><\/p>\n
