Arrow Vehicle Transport Basics Explanied

I have not seen the following information
posted anywhere else before so I figured
I would post it here to help members.

This is my original creation.
I hope it helps folks determine
what type of vehicle transport
they are looking for.

This is not a solicitation for business.

This is an explanation of how
automobile transport cost is
calculated and applies to
large companies and
independent owner-operators

Type Of Transport Ranked
Cheapest To Most Expensive:

1) Open - multi-vehicle - indirect

2) Semi-enclosed - multi-vehicle
indirect (fabric sides)

3) Enclosed - multi-vehicle
indirect (hard sides)

4) Open - single vehicle -indirect

5) Open - single vehicle - direct

6) Enclosed - single vehicle - indirect

7) Enclosed - single vehicle - direct

The cheapest method of vehicle transport
is open - multi-vehicle indirect
which necessitates driving a vehicle
on and off a trailer and storing it
outside in yards between trailer transfers.

The most expensive method of vehicle transport is direct enclosed which involves (usually) dealing directly with the person driving the tow vehicle pulling the trailer
that has your vehicle in it - the vehicle goes directly from pick up to drop off.
