what is open transportation?

Our Open Transport service is an affordable and easy way to get your vehicle delivered. Open transport involves loading your vehicle on a multi-vehicle trailer allowing us to haul up to 9 vehicles at once.

Open transportation refers to the method of transporting goods or vehicles in a manner that is not fully enclosed, often exposing them to outside elements during transit. This method is commonly used for transporting various types of cargo, including vehicles, heavy machinery, and general freight. Here are the key features, benefits, and common applications of open transportation:

  1. Open Trailers: Vehicles and goods are transported on flatbed trailers, car carriers, or open containers without full coverage, which means they are exposed to the environment.
  2. Visibility: The goods or vehicles being transported are visible during transit, which may allow for easier monitoring and adjustments.
  3. Accessibility: Loading and unloading can often be simpler and quicker with open transport, as there are fewer constraints compared to enclosed methods.
  4. Economical: Open transportation tends to be less expensive than enclosed transportation due to lower operational costs, which can make it more appealing for some types of freight.
  • Cost-Effective: Generally, open transport is more affordable than enclosed transport, making it a popular choice for shipping large volumes of items or vehicles that are not particularly sensitive to environmental factors.
  • Faster Loading/Unloading: Open trailers can facilitate quicker access to the cargo, which can help reduce transit times and improve efficiency.
  • Versatility: Open transportation can accommodate a wide range of cargo types, and multiple vehicles.
  • Vehicle Transport: Many car shipping services use open car haulers for transporting standard vehicles, such as sedans, SUVs, and trucks.
