Questions? Straight answers.

Price depends on distance, vehicle size and weight, trailer type (open, enclosed, lowboy, etc.), whether the unit runs, permits required and how flexible your dates are. Request a quote and a dispatcher will confirm a firm price — no hidden fuel surcharges.

Once your load is booked you receive a tracking number. Enter it on the Track page to see status, location updates and the delivery estimate. If a SecurePay transaction is linked, you will see the payment status there too.

Yes. Every carrier we dispatch must carry active cargo and liability insurance, which we verify before each load. Ask your dispatcher for a certificate of insurance for your shipment.

Yes. Let us know when you request a quote so we dispatch a carrier with a winch, forklift or loading equipment as needed.

Dreckmans Auto Transport is a US vehicle logistics company. We transport cars, motorcycles, boats, RVs, heavy equipment and military vehicles, store them in secure facilities, inspect them, and — when a sale is involved — hold the buyer's payment until the vehicle is delivered and accepted through our SecurePay service. One team handles the move, the paperwork and, if needed, the money.

No. We do not buy or sell vehicles and we never set the price of a sale. We are a transport, storage and transaction-support company: buyers and sellers agree on the deal between themselves, and we make sure the vehicle is moved, documented and paid for safely.

Our dispatch office is listed on the Contact page. We coordinate pickups and deliveries across all 48 contiguous states, with storage and inspection available at our facility and through partner locations.

Yes — by appointment only. Vehicles in storage belong to our customers, so access is controlled. Call or send a message through the Contact page and we will schedule a time with a dispatcher or facility manager.

It depends on the load: open and enclosed car carriers, single-vehicle flatbeds, hydraulic liftgate trailers for low or non-running vehicles, hydraulic boat trailers, and step-deck or lowboy trailers for oversize equipment. Our own trucks are supported by a vetted carrier network, so the right equipment is matched to every route.

Cars, SUVs and pickups, classic and exotic cars, motorcycles, boats on trailers, motorhomes and travel trailers, construction and agricultural equipment, and military or government vehicles. If it has wheels, tracks or a hull, ask us — we will tell you honestly whether we can move it.

Yes. With our At Home service the truck comes to your driveway or the nearest safe spot a large carrier can reach. If your street is too narrow, we will arrange a meeting point close by.

Yes — short-term (by the week) and long-term (monthly) storage, indoor and outdoor, with video monitoring and controlled access. Storage can be combined with pickup and delivery, so we collect the vehicle and bring it back when you are ready. See the Storage Facility page for details.

A documented condition report with dated photos of every side, the interior, odometer, tires and any existing damage, plus a check of the VIN or HIN against the paperwork. Inspections are available on their own, before a purchase, or as part of a transport or SecurePay transaction.

Yes. We work with lenders, dealers and leasing companies to recover vehicles lawfully, transport them to storage or auction, and document their condition. Contact us with your requirements and the states involved.

No. Since we do not buy or sell vehicles, we do not take trade-ins. If you are selling, we can store, inspect and deliver the vehicle to your buyer and secure the payment through SecurePay.

Yes. Send us the pickup location, the release or gate pass details, and the delivery address. We coordinate directly with the auction or seller and keep you updated until delivery.

Payment options and timing are shown on your quote and invoice. Most customers pay a booking amount when the carrier is assigned and the balance on delivery. Business customers can ask about invoicing terms.

For SecurePay, the buyer pays by bank wire or ACH transfer into a segregated account used only for customer funds — never into an employee's or a seller's personal account. The money stays there until the buyer accepts the vehicle, then it is released to the seller.

SecurePay transactions are usually large. A verified bank transfer is direct, traceable and documented, and it cannot be reversed weeks later the way some card payments can — which protects both the buyer and the seller.

Customer funds are held in a segregated account, separate from our operating money, and released only according to the written agreement signed by buyer and seller. Every status change is logged and visible on the tracking page. Always confirm payment instructions by phone with a number from our website — we never change bank details by email.

For transport, a booking amount may be required once a carrier is assigned. For SecurePay, the buyer deposits the full purchase price in one payment before the truck is dispatched. Any amount and deadline is written on your agreement and invoice before you pay.

Yes. Business and financing accounts are welcome. For security, the payer's name must match the buyer or company shown on the invoice.

If you cancel before pickup is dispatched, your payment is refunded according to the cancellation terms on your agreement. Once inspection, preparation or transport has started, the costs already incurred may be deducted. Our Terms & Conditions explain this in full.

It depends on distance, route, season and equipment. As a guide, short regional moves often take 1–3 days, and coast-to-coast moves about 7–10 days after pickup. Oversize loads that need permits can take longer. Your dispatcher gives you an estimated window when the carrier is assigned.

Yes. You receive a tracking number when the order is booked. Enter it on the Track your Shipment page to see each update — scheduled, picked up, in transit and delivered — with the estimated delivery date.

Yes, from our storage facility, by appointment. We prepare the vehicle and paperwork in advance and verify your identity and authorization when you arrive.

With wheel straps, chains or soft tie-downs suited to the vehicle, checked by the driver at every stop. Boats are strapped to cradles or trailers, and equipment is chained according to its weight and attachment points.

Weather, road closures, permit restrictions and carrier schedules can occasionally cause delays. If that happens, your dispatcher contacts you with the reason and a new delivery window, and the tracking page is updated.

Our own service covers the contiguous United States. For export, we can deliver the vehicle to a US port and coordinate with qualified international shipping partners for container or Ro-Ro shipping and export paperwork.

Yes. Every vehicle is inspected with you or your representative at pickup, and its condition is recorded on the Bill of Lading with photos. The same report is checked again at delivery.

Buyer and seller agree on an inspection window of 1 to 14 calendar days before any money moves. During that time the buyer can check the vehicle against the agreed description. If the window ends without a dispute, the sale is accepted and the seller is paid.

Report it to us within the inspection window, with photos. The funds stay protected while we review the issue with both parties according to the signed agreement — whether that means a return, an adjustment or another agreed solution.

We do not sell vehicles, so we do not provide warranties. Any warranty is offered by the seller or the manufacturer and should be stated in your purchase agreement.

For SecurePay and inspection services we compare the VIN or HIN with the title or registration, check that the seller is the owner, and look for lien indicators where records are available. You receive what we find before the transaction continues.

Yes. We move inventory for dealerships, auctions, rental and leasing companies, equipment dealers and contractors, with consistent pricing and one point of contact.

Yes. We arrange the right trailer, oversize permits, route surveys and escort vehicles where required for wide, tall or heavy loads such as excavators, combines and large boats.

Every load moves under the carrier's cargo insurance, and the coverage limit is stated on your quote. If your vehicle's value is higher than the standard limit, tell us before booking so we can arrange the right carrier or additional coverage.

Yes. For regular volumes we set up scheduled pickups, agreed rates and monthly invoicing. Contact us with your lanes and typical volumes.

Yes — returns to storage, seller or dealer locations, and multi-stop routes for several vehicles can be planned as one job.

We work only with properly authorized and insured carriers, check their operating authority and safety record, and require documented condition reports at pickup and delivery on every load.

Yes, for the US part of the journey. We can inspect, store and deliver the vehicle to a US port and work with your chosen international forwarder or a qualified partner.

Our quotes are based on real carrier rates for your route. Flexible dates, open transport and a convenient meeting point can lower the price — ask your dispatcher what options apply.

Always start from our official website, use the phone number shown here, and check our USDOT and MC numbers in the FMCSA public database (linked at the top of every page). We never ask you to pay into a personal account, use gift cards or crypto, or change payment details by email. If something looks wrong, call us before you pay.

Use the Get a Quote form, call us, or send a message through the Contact page. Tell us the vehicle, pickup and delivery locations and your preferred dates — a dispatcher replies with a price, usually within one business day.

The buyer sends funds to our secured account before pickup. We transport the unit, the buyer inspects it at delivery, and once the buyer accepts — or the inspection window ends without a dispute — we release the funds to the seller.

If the item is materially different from the agreed description, the buyer can open a dispute during the inspection window. Funds stay held while we review documentation and photos from pickup and delivery, and are released or refunded according to the signed agreement.

By default the buyer pays it, and it appears on the first invoice. Buyer and seller can agree to split it — tell us when you open the transaction.

Between 1 and 14 calendar days, agreed by both parties before any money moves. If the window ends without a dispute, the sale is considered accepted.

No. To protect both sides, the buyer deposits the full purchase price in one payment before we dispatch a truck.

No. We only release funds on deliveries we handle ourselves — that is how we can confirm, with photos and tracking, that the unit arrived as described.

Before pickup we verify the seller’s ID and proof of ownership (title, registration or bill of sale). If anything does not match, the transaction stops and the buyer is refunded.

Transport damage is handled through the carrier’s cargo insurance and is separate from the sale itself. The condition reports from pickup and delivery are used to document any claim.

As soon as the buyer accepts the unit — or the inspection window closes without a dispute — we release the funds, usually the next business day.

Yes. Many dealers use it to sell to out-of-state buyers who want the reassurance of paying on delivery.
