What Is Open Trailer Shipping?
Open trailer shipping, also known as open carrier transport, is the most commonly used method for shipping vehicles. Your car is transported on a large, open-air trailer along with 7 to 10 other vehicles. These trailers are the same type you often see delivering cars to dealerships.
Open transport is safe, reliable, and significantly more affordable than enclosed shipping. While vehicles are exposed to weather and road conditions, it remains the preferred option for most standard cars, SUVs, trucks, and vans.
