Whether your company has 1 vehicle or 1,000, moving commercial vehicles across the country is not as simple as leaving the keys on the dashboard and taking off. Businesses need solutions that move vehicles reliably, economically, and safely, whether these are commercial trucks, utility vehicles, buses, or other specialized vehicles. These solutions are what driveaway service provides.
For companies utilizing fleets, utility vehicles, construction equipment, specialty trucks, or buses, a driveaway service is a cost-effective and economical transportation solution that doesn’t depend solely on trailers.
ATC has 20 years of helping businesses transport vehicles throughout the United States by providing expert driveaway services that focus on the importance of communication, safety, and reliability.
What Is a Driveaway Service?
The meaning of driveaway service is to move the vehicle to its destination by a qualified driver driving the actual vehicle to it instead of putting it onto the trailer.
This kind of service can be utilized by:
- Fleets
- Commercial Trucks
- Utility Vehicles
- Bucket Trucks
- Vans & Buses
- Construction Equipment
- Specialty Vehicles
- New Vehicles
It’s perfect for getting any operating vehicle to where it needs to go whether its short or long distance, and all vehicles can be delivered.
Why Businesses Choose Driveaway Services
So many companies also use driveaway service because it offers some benefits that normal shipping methods may not.
For instance, certain oversized, highly unusual vehicles are challenging to load onto trailers (height, weight or layout restrictions). Driveaway may be the easiest way to ship these vehicles.
Businesses also utilize driveaway service when they require:
- Quick delivery times
- Coverage throughout the country
- Fleet movement scalable as the need arises
- Less logistic complications
- Adaptable pick-up and delivery schedules
For companies that will move vehicles regularly throughout the year, the right driveaway partner can be an invaluable tool for managing this operation smoothly.
The Benefits of Professional Driveaway Services
Adaptable Transport of Fleet Vehicles
Flexibility is another large benefit that comes with using driveaway services. With a driveaway service a company is capable of transporting vehicles one at a time, or large amounts at a time depending on their need for fleet mobility.
Whether transporting a fleet of vehicles from one branch to another, transporting a new fleet delivery, or delivering construction equipment to job sites the driveaway service is adaptable to any level of business needs.
Coast to Coast Coverage
A benefit that comes with using professional driveaway services is the ability to ship vehicles from state to state without having to arrange and coordinate different carriers and shipping companies.
At ATC we have coverage over all 50 states, we assist our clients in moving fleet vehicles anywhere in the United States.
Specialized Vehicle Experience
A general shipping company may not have any experience with driving commercial or specialty vehicles, which is the exact service a driveaway service provides, along with having qualified drivers ready to drive anything from vans and buses to concrete and construction trucks.
ATC transports:
- Bucket trucks
- Utility trucks
- Concrete trucks
- Cargo vehicles
- Tanker trucks
- Buses and vans
- Construction equipment
- Wreckers and transporters
Every one of these trucks has different requirements for transportation and drivers that can handle any type of vehicle that is requested.
Eases Strain on Operations
There is also less operational work that a business has to manage when using a driveaway service, which can become time consuming for business owners already in charge of schedules, compliance and client satisfaction.
Administrative workload is lessened when utilizing a professional driveaway service because all routing, deliveries, driver schedules and transit updates are handled by the company.
What to Look for in a Driveaway Service Company
There is no such thing as an identical driveaway supplier. When seeking out a transportation partner businesses should be sure to find:
- Coverage across the country
- Drivers with significant experience
- Good communication methods
- Appropriate insurance coverage
- Fleet transportation expertise
- Reliable safety performance
Also remember to find an organization that understands how pressing commercial transportation needs can be. Delays directly affect project completion, fleet preparedness, and client satisfaction.
Communication Matters in Vehicle Transport
One of the most overlooked aspects of vehicle transportation is communication.
Businesses are looking for insights as to the location of their vehicles, anticipated arrival time, as well as notifications if circumstances change during transportation. The inability to communicate these factors to your customers can lead to significant frustration and confusion very quickly.
At ATC we have a strong commitment to consistent and fluid communication and coordination throughout the transportation process in order to keep our clients fully updated from pickup to delivery.
