Reliable Shipping for Larger Vehicles

Transporting larger vehicles like pickup trucks, cargo vans, and standard vans requires special consideration due to their size and weight. Auto Transport Professionals (ATP) offers specialized pickup, minivan, and cargo van shipping services designed to handle these bigger vehicles safely and efficiently. Whether you’re relocating, buying a vehicle out of state, or need a vehicle shipped for business purposes, we ensure the process is simple and stress-free.

Why Shipping Pickups and Vans Costs More

1. Larger Vehicle Dimensions

Pickup trucks and vans are larger and heavier than cars and SUVs, making them more expensive to ship. These vehicles take up more space on the transport carrier, reducing the number of vehicles that can be shipped at once, which increases costs.

2. Weight Considerations

The weight of pickup trucks and vans is also a key factor in pricing. Since transport carriers must adhere to an 80,000-pound weight limit, fewer large vehicles can be loaded at once. This leads to higher shipping costs compared to smaller vehicles like cars and SUVs.

Pickup & Van Transport Options

• Open Carrier Transport: This is the most common and cost-effective method for shipping pickup trucks and cargo vans. The vehicles are transported on an open trailer with other vehicles. While your vehicle is exposed to weather conditions, this method remains safe and efficient for most shipments. Most times due to the vehicle’s size, it is the only option.
