FINDING THE BEST PICKUP AND DELIVERY LOCATIONS

M&M VEHICLE TRANSPORT offers many options to meet your transport needs; you can choose to have your car picked up and delivered right to your driveway with our full door-to-door service or, if it better fits your budget, time, and convenience, our terminal-to-terminal option allows you to store your vehicle at a regional storage facility located in the surroundings. However, there are exceptions to these options, depending on the following factors:

  • Narrow roads or alleyways
  • Crowded streets
  • Tight turns
  • Low-hanging wires
  • Low-lining tree branches
  • Restrictions for large trucks in residential areas 

Whenever one or more of the above-listed restrictions prevents our carriers from performing the first two options, there is a third possibility of finding an alternate location nearby to meet our driver, preferably with the following aspects in mind:

  • Generally speaking, the typical carrier is a large vehicle transporting several cars, that needs plenty of room to maneuver, therefore, the location should be easily accessible for this kind of trailer.
  • Isolated, inhabited, dark, or dangerous places are not the best choice to make a vehicle transaction.  Prefer public, well-lit, and people-frequented places.
  • Our carrier should be able to make turns and typical maneuvers to properly perform the loading and unloading processes.

BEST PICK UP AND DROP OFF LOCATIONS

We have classified the best alternate locations where your vehicle can be loaded/unloaded when there are restrictions and a more direct approach is not possible:

GAS STATIONS

A gas station for road truckers, with enough room for a carrier, with an entry ramp and close to a highway, should be your first option when looking for an alternate location.

LARGE PARKING LOTS

The huge space available at these places makes them perfect for vehicle loading and unloading purposes.

SHOPPING MALLS AND SUPERMARKET CHAIN STORES

These places are optimal as they are safe, have plenty of space, lots of parking spots, good access, are well-lit, and are generally located in strategic places near highways and main roads.

M&M VEHICLE TRANSPORT RECOMMENDATIONS

  • Make sure you check the locations before setting them up for pickup and delivery.
  • Choose locations with easy access, near an interstate or major city, and not too far off the urban area; it will cost you less money.
  • Keep in mind that some parking facilities will charge a fee, for which you are responsible.
  • If possible, choose locations close to highway ramps for easier access to our carriers.
  • Remember: a wrong choice can impact your overall delivery schedule.
