What Is The Difference Between An
Open And An Enclosed Carrier?
-
Generally, an Open Carrier
is similar to those you see transporting
cars to and from dealerships. These carriers
range in size and capacity. Vehicles that
are moved via an open carrier are exposed to
inclement weather and road conditions.
Enclosed Carriers also
range in size and capacity. Since these
carriers are covered, the vehicles in
transit are not subjected to inclement
weather or road conditions. Enclosed
carriers are recommended for custom, exotic
or autos that have been especially cared
for. All motorcycles are shipped on enclosed
carriers.
♠
Is Badlands Trucking Licensed
And Bonded?
-
YES. The Commission of the United States
Government licenses Badlands Trucking. We
hold Motor Carrier authority under
Certificate - MC#410637
♠
Is Badlands Trucking Insured?
-
Yes. Our insurance covers $1,000,000
trucking liability, a $1,000,000 general
liability, and cargo insurance that will
protect your vehicle up to the limit equal
to the value of the vehicle. Standard
insurance practices determine the value of
your vehicle - just as if it were damaged in
a traffic accident.
♠ Can I Pack Things In My Car?
-
Absolutely no items are allowed in your
vehicle if you are shipping overseas, or to
Alaska and Hawaii. The shipping ports will
not accept your vehicle because the Customs
Agents will not inspect your vehicle if
there are any items not attached to the
vehicle from the factory. There is no
tolerance for exceptions to this policy. If
you are shipping in the continental United
States the following applies.
Federal and State Department of
Transportation (DOT) regulations prohibit
the transport of household items in vehicles
being transported by auto carrier.

www.badlandlandstrucking.com , click on PDF
button, and fill out form. 2.
Call 508-274-1155 and give the transport
representative your information.
What
Happens After I Place The Order?
- Once
your order is placed and all paperwork
submitted, the transport of your vehicle
will be scheduled according to the available
date you provide. After a truck has been
assigned, your Transport Representative will
call you with the estimated pickup date and
time. We instruct the drivers to call the
customer 12 to 24 hours in advance of pick
up or delivery to establish a more accurate
estimated time of arrival and to work out
specific directions. When the driver picks
up your vehicle he will perform a detailed
inspection of your vehicle on a Bill of
Lading. Both the person releasing the
vehicle and the driver will sign this Bill
of Lading and one copy is left at the
vehicle point of origin. The same Bill of
Lading will be present on delivery so that
the vehicle can be re-inspected before
released.

What
Happens If I'm Not Available When The Truck
Comes To Pick Up Or Deliver The Vehicle?
- In the event you are not able to release or
take possession of your vehicle, you may
appoint anyone to do this task. We ask that
you supply us with the proper information
for contact in this situation.
♠
Does My Vehicle Stay On One Truck?
-
Direct Transport is what makes us unique
from other companies. Direct Transport means
that once your vehicle is loaded onto our
truck it does not come off until we reach
your destination. What does this mean for
you, quicker delivery times, less chance for
damage. It also means that you can rest
assured that your vehicle isn't bouncing
around from truck to truck, driver to
driver. You'll know the truck it is on and
the driver who will be driving it.
♠ Vehicle
Prep.
-
You DO NOT have to drain the gas tank or
other fluids. You DO NOT have to
disconnect the battery. You DO NOT have
to crate or palletize your vehicle. We
only need to be able to move your
vehicle onto the trailer and steer it
into position.
♠
Shipping some parts
-
You are welcome to store personal
property securely inside tour packs,
trunks or saddlebags; however to prevent
potential scratches or dents, we do not
allow extra parts, such as helmets or
pipes outside the vehicle. You
can ship those items (and the vehicle’s
title and keys if you are transferring
ownership) with an overnight carrier,
such as UPS® or FedEx® or by certified
U.S. mail. Also remember to lock and
secure your trunk or saddlebag as you
are responsible for the contents.
♠
Vehicle Inspection
-
Check out your vehicle and note any
dings or scratches prior to shipping.
Detailed documentation will help if an
insurance claim needs to be filed.
Remember, when you ship with Badlands,
your vehicle always includes $15,000 of
insurance with a $500 deductible.
♠
keys
-
We do not need your keys for your
vehicle, but you are welcome to attach
the keys to the handlebars with a
plastic tie wrap. We also recommend that
you bring a spare set with you. Or if
you are sending the vehicle to another
party, you can opt to ship them through
an overnight carrier or with certified
U.S. mail.
