Successfully Shipping an Ambulance Truck Cross-Country

Tempus Logix recently transported a 2015 International Terra Star ambulance from Miami, Florida to Chino, California. The 14,000-pound emergency vehicle covered 2,750 miles and required specialized equipment. Standard car haulers can’t handle vehicles in this weight class.

Understanding Specialized Ambulance Truck Transport Requirements

Ambulances require careful planning before transport begins. The 14,000-pound weight puts this vehicle well above typical passenger cars that weigh 3,500 to 4,500 pounds.

Tempus Logix verifies all dimensions before confirming the final price. Height, width, and length measurements determine whether a vehicle qualifies as oversized. Federal regulations set maximum dimensions at 8 feet 6 inches wide and 13 feet 6 inches tall.

The Terra Star needed dimension verification to confirm it stayed within legal limits. Anything beyond standard measurements requires special permits from each state along the route.

Additional Costs: Permits, Escorts, and Specialized Equipment Fees

Heavy vehicles require permits even when dimensions stay within legal limits. Weight permits ensure transport stays compliant with DOT regulations. Each state charges its own permit fees.

The Miami to Chino trip crossed Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. Each state required separate permits for the heavy load. Permit costs typically range from $100 to $500 per state.

Escort vehicles weren’t needed for this ambulance because it fell within legal dimensions. The combined weight stayed under the 80,000-pound federal maximum.

14,000 lbs Weight Class: Equipment and Trailer Requirements

Standard car haulers can’t safely transport 14,000-pound vehicles. Three main trailer types handle this weight category.

RGN trailers work best for heavy vehicles between 10,000 and 40,000 pounds. Step deck trailers offer a lowered deck design. Lowboy trailers provide the lowest deck height.

RGN trailers feature a detachable front section that lowers to ground level. This makes loading much easier. The front section reattaches after the vehicle drives onto the deck.

Why RGN Trailers Are Ideal for 14,000 lb Ambulance Trucks

The Terra Star loaded onto an RGN trailer for good reasons. These trailers handle weight distribution better than flatbeds. The removable gooseneck design allows the entire front to disconnect.

Tall vehicles must maintain legal height when loaded. Adding the deck height to the vehicle height determines total transport height. RGN trailers sit lower than standard flatbeds and kept this ambulance under the 13 feet 6 inches limit.

The RGN design also protects the ambulance during loading. The deck lowers almost to ground level. Vehicles drive straight on without steep ramp angles that could cause damage.

Estimated Transit Times for 2,750-Mile Ambulance Delivery

The Miami to Chino route covers roughly 2,750 miles. Federal Hours of Service regulations limit drivers to 11 hours of driving per day. At 60 miles per hour average speed, drivers cover 500 to 600 miles daily.

The 2,750-mile journey takes approximately 5 to 6 days of driving time. This accounts for rest breaks and fuel stops. Weather and traffic add variability to any cross-country transport.

This ambulance delivery took 7 days from pickup to final delivery. The driver followed all DOT regulations and maintained proper rest periods. The vehicle arrived in Chino without damage.

Tempus Logix handles heavy vehicle transport with attention to detail. Every dimension gets verified and every permit gets secured before the truck leaves. No shortcuts happen when 14,000 pounds of emergency equipment travels across the country.

Enroute Transport Permits 

Ferrari F12 Cross Country Shipping: Riviera Beach, FL to Fontana, CA

We just shipped a black 2014 Ferrari F12 from Florida to California. The transporting mileage from Riviera Beach, FL 33404, to Fontana, CA 92335, is 2,619 miles. The Ferrari was shipped in an enclosed trailer from December 11th to December 20th, a total of nine days. The cost to ship this private transport was $1,623.

This coast-to-coast relocation demonstrated the differences between shipping an exotic car and a normal car. The F12 required unique loading because of its low profile and its value. The price of $0.62 per mile was normal for a coast-to-coast relocation. The owner opted for enclosed shipping in order for his Ferrari to arrive in its original condition across the country.

Dealer To Dealer Car Shipping: Auto Transport Services

Tempus Logix provides pickup services for auctions and trade moves for dealers on a daily basis. 

Dealers require rapid turnaround to avoid storage charges at the auction site. Each day that the car remains at the auction site results in higher storage charges.

We also cater to bulk orders for the dealership involving the movement of several cars simultaneously. Volume discounts apply to repeat customers. The dealer trade service enables the two dealerships to efficiently exchange their cars. We handle all the coordination between the two sites to ensure the smooth flow of inventory. We also handle the paperwork and scheduling of the dealers, allowing them to concentrate on the sales department. Many of the dealerships use our services on a weekly basis.

What Makes Ferrari F12 Shipping Different From Standard Vehicle Transport

The Ferrari F12 rests on its chassis about 4 inches from the ground at the front of the vehicle. The usual loading ramps provide an angle of 14 to 18 degrees. This extreme angle leads to damage to the front splitter on lowered cars. Replacing the carbon fiber front splitter would cost several thousand dollars.

The transportation of a Ferrari requires special equipment. There are carriers who use race ramps to load and offload at a certain angle. The best way to load a car is to use a rollback truck with a hydraulic tilt. That way, the surface on which the car will be loaded is close to flat. The carriers use soft straps to hold an F12 in place. Loading an exotic car will take about one hour.

Cross-Country Routes: Southern vs Northern Corridor For CA-Bound Vehicles

Florida to California shipping offers two main routes. The southern I-10 corridor runs through Louisiana and Texas. This path stays warm year-round and avoids mountain weather. Major cities along this route include New Orleans and San Antonio.

The northern I-40 corridor crosses through Tennessee and Oklahoma into Flagstaff. Winter weather slows this route between November and March. Our Ferrari took the I-10 corridor through Houston and El Paso. Drivers cover about 450 miles daily under federal hour limits. The southern route adds about 100 miles compared to I-40 but saves time by avoiding weather delays. Carriers prefer I-10 from November through February for California-bound shipments.

Enclosed vs Open Transport: When Saving Money Isn’t Worth The Risk

Open transport costs 40% less than enclosed shipping. For a $30,000 sedan this matters. For a Ferrari F12 worth over $200,000 the savings are meaningless. Road debris or weather damage risk is too high. A single paint chip repair can cost $500 or more.

Hard-sided enclosed trailers have aluminum or steel walls. They haul just two to four vehicles. This spacing prevents contact during transport. Enclosed protection blocks road debris and weather exposure that can chip paint or damage interiors. The reduced capacity means enclosed trailers cost more to operate per mile. Carriers charge premium rates because they haul fewer vehicles per trip. Most exotic car owners consider this cost essential protection rather than an optional upgrade.

Exotic Car Transport Insurance And Protection

It is essential that they hold liability insurance of at least $1 million. The carrier responsible for shipping the exotic car usually has $2 million to $5 million in coverage. Always check insurance coverage prior to booking. Request a document that proves the insurance coverage is equivalent to the value of your car. Some carriers provide declared value coverage in excess of standard policies.

It only covers liability on the carrier. It does not cover pre-existing damage. Photos were taken prior to loading to show the condition of the vehicle. The driver and customer sign the Bill of Lading noting any problems. Photos include views of all angles of the vehicle and the odometer reading. The pictures will be crucial in case of damage. The carrier views the vehicles thoroughly prior to pickup

What To Do If Your Exotic Car Is Damaged While In Transit

Document damage at the time of the delivery. Record all problems on the Bill of Lading before signing it. Take your photos of the damage from various angles. Take close-ups of any scratches or dings. Have the driver acknowledge the damage on the form used for delivering your goods. Claims are filed within nine days from receipt of shipment. Photos are submitted, as well as a signed Bill of Lading copy. The insurance adjuster from the carrier investigates every claim that comes in. 

Tempus Logix chooses to work with its insurance standards-compliant carriers only. There are stipulations in our carrier contracts regarding the carrier’s obligation to customers during transport. Tempus Logix helps its customers with the filing process, working with the carrier to resolve any problems that arise efficiently, with most valid damage claims being resolved within thirty days from receipt of claim.

Guaranteed Pickup Service: Trust & Reliability

A person has to move his car. He searches on the Internet, gets a quote, and everything is fine. The cost is decent. The company guarantees to “find a driver quickly.” Both parties are satisfied.

And then three days go by. No driver. Four days. Nothing yet. Now they are all calling every morning asking for an update, and the broker keeps repeating, “We are working on it.”

That’s the point when people realize they should have listened to the pickup guarantee portion. In the car transportation business, a guaranteed pickup means the company will have a driver assigned and your car will be picked up by a specific date. Not “we’ll try our best” or “it usually happens quickly.” A real commitment with your dates honored.

The Part Nobody Tells You

For most car transporters, is working like the “open board” method. Your car goes on a list, and when drivers have that route as part of their journey, they scoop it up. It gets the job done. eventually. There’s absolutely no rush. For example, if your pickup location is the popular route from California to Texas, fantastic. Everyone loves that route. However, when shipping your car from Billings, Montana, or Portland, Maine, during the month of February? Not so much.

Dealing with drivers long enough to know that they are running a business. They take the freight that works their route well and pays good money. Your car is competing against dozens of other vehicles. A guaranteed pickup turns that on its head. The company has to make it happen. Whether that means paying a driver more money or doing favors is irrelevant. Your car is not sitting around waiting for someone to pick it up.

What “Guaranteed” Really Means

Guaranties aren’t all the same, and that’s where the rub is. Some shops will come dig out your car, but their timeframe still is ‘7 to 10 days.’ So, your car gets picked up quickly, and it’s just sitting in a truck stop somewhere, stopping all over the country, for a week and a half. That’s not what most people have in mind.

Others give you the dates for pickup and delivery. Now we are talking. But you will have to expect a hefty increase, anywhere from 30 percent to 50 percent above the basic rates. It’s like you are paying for the premium delivery service.

But then there’s also “fine print.” It seems as though guarantees come with some sort of “catch.” Weather-related delays are not guaranteed. If you’re not there to be picked up? The guarantee is void. If the driver breaks down? They fulfilled their obligation. You should read the fine print. If a company can opt out of a guarantee on six different grounds, then the company is not offering a very good guarantee.

This is where experience matters. Tempus Logix has extensive nationwide transport experience and guarantees pickup, so you’re not stuck with a soft ‘7-10 days’ window dressed up as a promise.

The Routes That Actually Need It

Pretty much every trucker has put it this way: “If it’s a highly traveled route, there’s no need for a guarantee. From LA to Phoenix? That truck’s going whether it rains or shines. From Florida to New York? Lots of trucks haul that route every week of the year.”

But when you look at shipping from, for instance, the East:

1. Rural and sparsely populated regions
2. Winter in the Northern states: Car drivers avoid the snowfall.
3. Small towns not directly on the major highways
4. Anywhere to Alaska (that’s a whole different game) These routes are logical in regard to guaranteed pick-up. Otherwise, one could be waiting for several weeks for a transport partner with a willingness to detour. Honestly, I was surprised at this when I entered the industry. I thought every route was pretty much the same. Not true. Geography and timing vary way more than I thought they would.

When Regular Service Is Fine

If you have the time, save your money.

Booked three weeks in advance? Spring or fall, when the weather’s good? Shipping between major cities? You don’t need the guarantee, probably. It should take a good broker no more than 2 to 5 business days to find you a driver.

People pay extra for the “assured service delivery” feature, and they only had a full calendar month before they even had a use for the vehicle. Total waste. You can think of a dozen ways you could’ve used the cash, upgrading your insurance policies, for example, or using an enclosed transport service if the item being shipped held particular value. It is guaranteed for tight schedules and hard routes. That is all.

The Frustrating Part

Here’s where people lose money. They pay for regular maintenance. Then they’re like, ‘Oh my god, it’s day five and we don’t have a driver,’ and they want to upgrade to guaranteed. Well, it’s last-minute notice. The price is going to be even higher or, worse yet, the company won’t be able to meet it. If you think that perhaps you’ll be needing the guarantee, buy one in advance. This is far less expensive than the price of upgrading in a panic. Not to mention: last minute expedited shipping or, at worst, starting from scratch.

Questions Worth Asking

Then, before actually paying for the “guaranteed pick up,” ask these questions:

1.”What exactly are you guaranteeing, just pickup, or delivery too?”

2.“What voids the guarantee?”

3. “What happens if you miss the date?”

4. “That last one matters,” one expert said. “Some will refund the guarantee fee,” while others will refund “a portion of the cost.” A handful “won’t do a thing and just apologize.” It pays to know beforehand.

Usually, the reputable companies will make it right when they really drop the ball. But what constitutes making it right varies from person to person. You have to get the details.

Summary

A guaranteed pickup is an insurance policy for your schedule. It’s an insurance policy for your schedule, not an insurance policy for your vehicle, which would be a completely separate thing. It’s an insurance policy for knowing that logistics will occur.

If you have the flexibility in your scheduling, blow this off. If you have a tight schedule on your hands, this may be worth the investment. Just be sure you understand what you’re actually getting for your money, as “guaranteed” is a price point that has many variations.

And to be frank, just the peace of mind alone, that’s worth it. It’s got to be nice to not have to spend a week waiting to hear about a driver update via your phone. Nonetheless, that’s the way it is. Not a complex thing to understand, but something most people don’t consider until they’re in the thick of needing to transport a car yesterday.

Atlanta to San Francisco Bay Area Car Transport of a Challenger SXT

This month we had the opportunity to ship a 2018 Dodge Challenger SXT from Atlanta to San Leandro. The delivery covered 2,480 miles across the country. Our team used an open multi-car trailer for this private-to-private delivery. The final cost came to $1,098.

This shipment demonstrated how cross-country transport works when distances exceed 2,000 miles. The customer in Atlanta needed the muscle car delivered to the San Francisco Bay Area. We arranged pickup in the 30317 zip code and delivery to San Leandro 94577.

How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car from Atlanta, GA to San Francisco, CA?

Cross-country shipping from Atlanta to the San Francisco Bay Area typically runs between $1,000 and $1,200. Distance is the primary factor. At 2,480 miles the per-mile rate drops significantly compared to shorter routes.

The $1,098 price for this Challenger worked out to roughly $0.45 per mile. This falls within the normal range for coast-to-coast transport. Standard sedans on the same route often cost about the same. The Challenger SXT weighs around 3,800 pounds. This weight stays under most carrier capacity limits.

Open transport costs less than enclosed shipping. The difference runs about 40% on average. For this route enclosed transport would have added another $400 to $500 to the total. Most customers shipping standard vehicles choose open carriers. The savings make sense for daily drivers and vehicles without special value.

Popular Routes: I-40 vs. I-10 Corridor for Cross-Country Shipping

Carriers heading from Atlanta to California have two main options. The I-40 corridor runs through Tennessee and Arkansas before crossing into New Mexico. The I-10 corridor drops south through Alabama and Louisiana into Texas.

Most drivers prefer the I-40 route during winter months. This path avoids Gulf Coast weather patterns. Snow in the Rockies can slow things down between November and March. The southern I-10 route stays warmer but faces hurricane season risks from June through November.

Our carrier took the I-40 corridor for this Challenger shipment. The route went through Memphis and Oklahoma City. From there the driver continued through Albuquerque and Flagstaff before entering California. Total driving time came to about six days under federal hours of service regulations.

Drivers can legally operate for 11 hours per day. They must rest for 10 consecutive hours afterward. Most carriers cover roughly 450 miles daily when accounting for fuel stops and vehicle checks.

What’s Included in a $1,000-$1,200 Car Shipping Quote for 2,480 Miles?

The $1,098 price covered door-to-door service on both ends. A carrier picked up the Challenger in Atlanta at the customer’s residence. The delivery happened at the new owner’s address in San Leandro.

All quotes include basic cargo insurance. Carriers typically maintain $100,000 coverage per vehicle on their trailers. This insurance covers damage during transport. Customers can purchase additional coverage if their vehicle exceeds this value.

The quote includes loading and securing the vehicle. Carriers use four-point tie-down systems with heavy-duty straps. These connect to the chassis at reinforced points. The straps prevent movement during transit.

No hidden fees appeared on this shipment. Some brokers advertise low prices and then add charges later. We provide guaranteed quotes upfront. The customer pays the agreed price when the driver delivers the vehicle.

2018 Dodge Challenger Transport: Special Considerations

The 2018 Challenger SXT presents few complications for transport. Ground clearance measures about 5 inches. This height works fine with standard loading ramps. Lower trim Challengers with sport suspension might need extra attention.

The vehicle weighs 3,847 pounds ready to drive. Carriers can fit two Challengers on a standard nine-car hauler. The width measures 75 inches. This fits comfortably within carrier deck dimensions.

Challengers have functional parking brakes and can roll freely in neutral. Drivers simply release the brake and shift to neutral for loading. The process takes about 15 minutes per vehicle. No special equipment was needed for this particular car.

The customer prepared the car properly before pickup. They washed it and documented the existing condition with photos. Personal items came out of the interior. The gas tank sat at one-quarter full per carrier requirements.

How Does Open Multi-Car Trailer Work: The Transport Process

Open multi-car trailers usually contain seven to nine cars. These carriers consist of two levels. The first level holds three to four cars. The next holds four to five cars depending on their size.

Carriers load the top deck first through hydraulic ramps. The rear portion of the top deck can be lowered to ground level. It forms a ramp with a gradient of 12° in the upward direction. Cars can either drive up this ramp on their own or be winched if they can’t move on their own.

After that, the hydraulics raise the top deck back into place. The driver will then load the cars into the lower-level deck. The lower-level deck is set at ground level. The vehicles merely drive right into the lower-level deck from behind the trailer.

The Challenger remained on the lower deck during this delivery. Having the unit on the lower deck makes it easily accessible for the loading and unloading processes. It also shields the unit from the sunlight during the cross-country drive.

Carriers hold all vehicles in place using four straps. These straps are connected from the front. There are also straps connected from the backs. These straps are hooked on specific points on the chassis or frames. This avoids movement when the vehicles are being transported.

The transport took eight days from pickup to delivery. A day was spent planning the pickup, while six days were spent behind the wheel. The last day addressed delivery planning for the Bay Area in the vicinity of San Francisco.

Cross-country travel can be quite frustrating, though the end result is well worth the effort. In fact, the $1,098 fare was substantially cheaper than what it would have taken to drive the Challenger 2,465 miles. Fuel costs alone would have been above $300.

Winter Weather Vehicle Management: How Snow and Ice Impact Auto Transportation

A massive winter storm is currently impacting the Northeast. This winter storm has already closed several highways and canceled more than 1,600 flights. New York Governor Kathy Hochul declared a state of emergency in more than 35 counties. She is warning residents to stay home while crews work to remove snow.

It’s unfortunately the worst possible time for cross-country transportation of goods. Most truckers were hoping to deliver their holiday loads before the end of the year. Now they are left idling until the roads are cleared.

Heavy Snow and Ice Warnings – Northeast Winter Forecast

The states in the northeast are experiencing hazardous situations. The snow measured 4.3 inches in Central Park in NYC by Saturday morning. Some parts of Connecticut registered more than 10 inches of snow. There are ice storm warnings in certain parts of Pennsylvania.

The National Weather Service issued travel advisories from the Great Lakes to New England. Truckers have been barred from driving on major highways in New Jersey. The ban was removed early Saturday, though icy conditions are present.

These weather conditions generate a ripple effect. When major roads in a country are closed, the whole country’s transportation system is affected. Motorists do not simply sit and wait for the storm to pass. They look for ways to circumvent traffic or park their rigs until favorable weather returns.

Northeast States Vehicle Shipping Regulations During Winter

Federal rules restrict the amount of driving that can be done in a day. The driving limit is 11 hours after 10 hours rest. Bad weather further reduces the driving hours. The drivers lose hours as they are stuck in traffic and waiting for clearance of accidents on the road by road crews.

States also have restrictions during severe weather conditions. Pennsylvania restricted commercial vehicles from some of its highways during the worst of Friday’s storm. New York has restrictions on chains or snow tires for vehicles over 26,000 pounds when weather conditions worsen.

Some states will close roads entirely when visibility becomes poor to a quarter mile. This choice is not left to drivers. It’s determined by the state police and transportation authorities.

Winter car transport firms are always in touch with weather bureaus. They monitor several forecasts and weather condition updates. The aim is to redirect drivers before they are trapped. There may be instances when the vehicles are left at the point of origin until a storm has cleared.

Cost Comparison: Self-Driving vs Hiring Auto Transport Services

The prices for fuel decrease during the winter season. The average cost of gas within the country is $3.86 per gallon. This is a decrease of 10 cents compared to the previous year. Decreasing fuel prices always result in more favorable transport prices.

Year	Average Diesel Price	Source / Notes
2022	≈ $5.00	Calculated from monthly No. 2 diesel retail prices (EIA data) (U.S. Energy Information Administration)
2023	≈ $4.21	Calculated from monthly No. 2 diesel retail prices (EIA data) (U.S. Energy Information Administration)
2024	≈ $3.76	Calculated from monthly No. 2 diesel retail prices (EIA data) (U.S. Energy Information Administration)
2025	≈ $3.65 (est.)	Estimated from recent U.S. diesel retail averages (EIA/FRED) and weekly retail prices (final annual not yet published) (FRED)

Diesel Prices For 2022–2025 From The EIA data

Weather turns the equation around in no time. Delays add up when vehicles cannot move. Every day a vehicle spends on the trailer will mean losses for the transport company. This will be reflected in the end in the form of weather charges.

Winter driving by automated vehicles adds its own costs. There are expenses to cover lodging if you have to wait out bad weather. Hotels close to highways tend to fill up with snowstorms. There are, too, costs related to damage to your car.

Professional transport services also carry cargo insurance. This provides liability coverage for your car, regardless of whether weather forces it to take an indirect route. The cost savings alone make this justification enough to transport yourself.

The price may vary due to several considerations that come into play. The distance is irrelevant when it comes to accessibility. A journey that spans 500 miles, provided that it is through an accessible roadway, incurs a higher cost than a 300-mile journey through an area that contains mountain passes.

The Impact of Heavy Snow and Ice on Vehicle Shipping Schedules

Normal times for transit cease to matter in extreme weather conditions. It could take five or six days to complete an average task that took three days before. It is not just about reduced speed. It is about stopping to wait for roads to open.

Most car carriers leave some leeway in their winter routes. They give a wider range of delivery times from December to March. Open transport delivery may take 7-10 days compared to the usual 5-7 days.

Forecasts are helpful but not foolproof. It was determined that the Nor’easter that affected the Northeast this week was forecast a number of days in advance. Corporations began redirecting motorists early on. Some motorists opted to go through the South even though additional mileage was involved.

Communication is very important during delays. Customers want and need regular information on the status of their vehicles. Organizations that lack communication will see higher incidents of disputes and complaints.

The system that is presently active is expected to impact schedules into early next week. The temperatures are not going above freezing. This is expected to result in ice being left on the roads even as the snow ceases. Motorists will move at a pace until the roads have been treated.

Open Carrier vs Enclosed Transport for Winter Snow and Ice Conditions

The open transport is just fine in all winter conditions. The truckers are used to snow and ice on roads annually. Your car is going to be exposed to elements, but that is not typically an issue for regular road vehicles.

Some customers prefer the enclosed transport option during winter. The covered trailer is protective of cars against road salt and ice damage. The salt tends to rust the cars if allowed to stand on the paint or undercarriages for a while. The trailer is also protective of cars against debris that is knocked up by vehicles along the road.

Discrepancies in prices between open trucks and enclosed trucks widen in the winter. There are fewer enclosed trucks to start with. As a result of increased demand in inclement weather conditions, the number becomes even smaller. Prices can rise between 40-60% in peak winter seasons.

While it’s worth noting that classic or luxury  automobiles will typically need enclosed transport every year, having this extra cost can be well worth it if it protects an important purchase. Other automobiles will usually be just fine on an open carrier unless their buyer has other preferences. 

Loading and unloading take longer during the winter months for all modes of transportation. Drivers must have well-defined surfaces on which to maneuver their ramps. Snow and ice represent dangers. Some pickup and delivery spots will be blocked until the property owners clear the driveway and parking areas.

Conclusion: Winter Weather and Vehicle Transportation

The car transport industry adjusts to winter every year. Car transporters are aware of how to deal with snow and ice. Car transporters alter their timing depending on the forecast. Customers must be aware that car transporters face delays despite their best efforts. Planning in advance is a big help. Arrange the winter car transport as early as you can. Allow a longer transportation time.

Be flexible with the dates of pickup and dropoff in case of weather constraints. Storms taking place in the Northeast or in California are reminding people of the value of communication. Transportation companies are monitoring conditions on a consistent basis and are alerting clients about any delays that have resulted. 

Selecting a company that values these alerts can make all the difference in the customer experience even in situations where the weather hampers smooth transportation. In winter, transportation is not impossible, nor is it a rarity. Millions of vehicles traverse the country during winter. The important thing is doing business with trusted carriers, as they know how to deal with winter conditions.

Winter Storm Devin Could Delay Car Shipments Across the Northeast I-95 Corridor

Key Takeaways

• A 24-36 hour shutdown leads to a backlog: vehicles needing transport keep increasing while trucks are parked.
• Expect 24-48 hour delays for vehicles already in transit.
• Expect 3-5 day delays for vehicles waiting for pickup after the storm.
• A second storm (potential bomb cyclone) is forecast for Sunday-Monday, which could extend delays further.

A Winter Storm Warning covering the entire Northeast corridor, including all five NYC boroughs, Long Island, northern New Jersey, and Connecticut, went into effect Friday, December 26, 2025.

It brought 4-12 inches of snow to the critical I-95 auto transport corridor between Philadelphia and Boston. The National Weather Service confirmed peak snowfall rates of 1-2 inches per hour during Friday evening, with Central Park recording 4.3 inches, the most snowfall NYC has seen since January 2022.

This storm affected almost all major interstate routes used by vehicle carriers in the Northeast such as:

• I-95
• I-80
• I-78
• I-287
• I-90 (New York State Thruway)

Wind gusts reaching 25-45 mph created blowing snow and near-whiteout conditions across the region.

Storm Timing Created a 12-Hour Critical Danger Window

The storm moved through in stages that gave carriers limited time to plan.

Phase	Timing	Conditions
Snow onset	4:00-5:00 PM Friday	Snow spreading southwest to northeast
Building intensity	5:00-9:00 PM Friday	Steady snow, roads deteriorating rapidly
Peak danger	9:00 PM – 4:00 AM Saturday	1-2 inch/hour rates, near-whiteout visibility
Tapering	6:00-10:00 AM Saturday	Snow lightening, storm moving offshore
Storm end	1:00 PM Saturday	Warnings expired across region

Post-storm temperatures remained below freezing through Saturday, meaning treated surfaces stayed slick longer than during milder winter storms. Black ice remains a significant hazard through Saturday night.

Road clearing operations prioritized interstates, with state DOTs expecting major lanes passable by late Saturday afternoon, roughly 4-6 hours after snow ended.

What Routes Are Affected By Winter Storm Devin

The storm struck the heart of Northeast auto transport operations, affecting primary north-south and east-west corridors.

I-95 Corridor (Philadelphia-New York-Boston) took the hardest hit. This corridor, which normally handles the highest volume of vehicle carrier traffic on the East Coast, saw 4-8 inches of snow with near-whiteout conditions. New Jersey DOT imposed a full commercial vehicle ban from 3 PM Friday until 8 AM Saturday.

I-80 (Cross-country route) experienced restrictions at both ends:

• In New Jersey, commercial vehicles were banned entirely Friday afternoon through Saturday morning.
• In Pennsylvania, Tier 3 restrictions reduced speeds to 45 mph and banned empty trailers.
• In California’s Sierra Nevada, the route was completely closed due to multiple spinouts, with all tractor-semitrailer combinations banned from Applegate to the Nevada state line.

I-90/New York State Thruway presented hazardous conditions from the NYC line through Albany. Snow-covered pavement, icy spots, and heavy snow were reported across most sections. Buffalo-area carriers face additional delays with Lake Effect Snow Warnings projecting 12-18 inches in primary snow bands.

I-78, I-280 and I-287 (New Jersey) were under full commercial vehicle bans from Friday afternoon through Saturday morning, blocking key connector routes for carriers moving vehicles between the I-95 corridor and points west.

How This Storm Affects Auto Transportation

Winter storms create operational challenges that extend well beyond the storm itself. Federal regulations require drivers to cease operations when conditions become “sufficiently dangerous,” and carriers who suspend operations create a significant backlog when they resume.

The Capacity Crunch

Since auto transport operates on continuous flow, when a storm shuts down operations for 24-36 hours, vehicles don’t stop accumulating. Auction facilities, dealerships, and private sellers continue posting vehicles for transport, but the carriers who would normally handle those shipments are either parked waiting for conditions to improve or rerouted on longer paths.

When weather clears, carriers face roughly double their normal workload. A typical Friday-Saturday might have 100+ carriers servicing the I-95 corridor between Philadelphia and Boston. If weather grounds those carriers for a full day, Sunday brings not just Saturday’s normal volume but also Friday’s backlog and Sunday’s new orders, all competing for the same number of trucks.

Making matters worse: a potential bomb cyclone is forecast for Sunday-Monday that could bring another round of blizzard conditions to the Great Lakes and Northeast. If this second storm materializes as projected, carrier availability may not return to normal until midweek.

How Auto Transport Pricing Changes After Weather Events

When demand exceeds supply, carriers naturally serve the highest-value customers first.

For example, a carrier with 10 vehicles waiting doesn’t pick them up in booking order. Instead, the carrier evaluates the rate offered for each load, pickup and delivery locations, and how each fits with other vehicles already scheduled.

Customers usually offer $100-$500 above the original quote for immediate pickup, while customers insisting on the original quote wait.

As a result, this creates sudden rate increases. A customer quoted $900 before the storm may need to agree to $1,100-$1,400 for priority pickup during the post-storm crunch.

We typically offer customers the option to wait until carrier availability returns to normal and rates drop back to previous levels.

However, when a customer needs the shipment ASAP, we have no choice but to negotiate a new deal with the carrier for the best possible price so our customers can avoid being overcharged.

The Timeline

Pricing effects typically last 4-7 days after a significant winter storm. Given that a second storm may hit Sunday-Monday, customers booking in the days immediately following this weather event could pay 20-50% more than pre-storm rates, potentially through New Year’s Day.

Driver Hours Constraints

While no formal commercial-vehicle ban was issued across all states, drivers can only drive 11 hours within a 14-hour window before taking a mandatory 10-hour break.

A driver who spends Friday evening and Saturday morning parked waiting out weather doesn’t “save” those hours. If Saturday afternoon brings slow traffic on recently cleared roads with black ice concerns, the driver gets only 6-8 hours of productive driving instead of the usual 10-11.

Pennsylvania alone reported 280+ motor vehicle crashes and 300 disabled motorists during the storm. These conditions further slow carrier progress even after roads reopen.

Commercial Vehicle Restrictions That Impacted Carriers

Pennsylvania: Tier 3 Restrictions (most restrictive level)

• Routes affected: All interstates statewide, PA Turnpike I-76, I-70, and all extensions
• Banned: Empty trailers, RVs, buses, semis with double trailers
• Allowed: Loaded single trailers with chains or approved traction devices
• Speed limit: 45 mph on all restricted roadways

Source: PennDOT Official Announcement

New Jersey: Full Commercial Ban (lifted 8 AM Saturday)

• Routes affected: I-78, I-80, I-280, I-287, Route 440
• Banned: All tractor-trailers, empty CDL trucks, vehicles towing trailers

California I-80: Sierra Nevada

• All tractor-semitrailer combinations banned from Applegate to Nevada state line
• Carriers heading west turned around at state line
• Carriers heading east screened at Applegate. Maximum chains required to proceed.

New York State Thruway

• No outright ban, but hazardous conditions have been reported across most sections of I-87
• Lake Effect zones near Buffalo under warning with 12-18 inches expected

Conclusion

For this weekend’s Winter Storm Devin, the realistic timeline is:

• 24-48 hour delays for vehicles already in transit
• 3-5 day delays for vehicles awaiting pickup due to post-storm backlog and capacity constraints
• Potential extended delays through January 1 if the Sunday-Monday bomb cyclone materializes as forecast

Book shipments early when possible to lock in pre-storm rates. When a storm is forecast, expect delays of 24-48 hours for vehicles in transit and 3-5 days for vehicles awaiting pickup.

Customers with time-sensitive shipments may need to pay premium rates for priority service during the post-storm capacity crunch, especially with the holiday travel weekend pushing TSA to project 2.86 million travelers on Sunday, December 28, the busiest travel day of the season.

Enclosed Auto Transport for Classic Sports Cars: Moonachie, NJ to Brecksville, OH

Last week we handled something special. A 1994 Nissan 300ZX needed to move from a dealership in Moonachie, New Jersey to a residential address in Brecksville, Ohio. This wasn’t just any sedan headed to a relative’s house. This was a Japanese sports car from the golden era of automotive design.

The owner booked with us over the phone and wanted a same-day delivery. The car deserved enclosed protection. We matched both requirements without issue.

What Happens After The Quote?

The pricing quote was set at $749 for the 450 mile transport, which averaged to $1.66 a mile. The pricing for an enclosed hardside trailer and same-day delivery for a classic car was direct. After we got the go-ahead from the car’s owner, we were able to finalize the transport and arrange a carrier in a matter of hours. The car was already inspected and photo documentation completed on behalf of the Moonachie dealership.

There was constant communication between us, maintaining a dialogue all through the day, with updates relayed throughout the route to the owner. When moving a car with such a rich history, you don’t have a guessing game on your hands.

By evening, they arrived at the Brecksville address. The owner made one final check with the driver to ensure everything checked as it should with the pickup. The Bill of Lading was signed, and the 300ZX arrived home.

Same-day delivery may seem very aggressive concerning vintage car transport, but with good route planning and a good carrier, it is simply good logistics.

Moonachie to Brecksville Corridor: Regional Shipping Information

This is approximately 450 miles and is located on heavily used freight routes in the Northeast and Midwest. Moonachie is located just beyond the New York Metropolitan area. Brecksville is located in the Greater Cleveland area. Both are frequently used routes.

Route decisions are important. Spring and autumn are generally ideal weather conditions. Winter may provide lake effect snow around Cleveland. This brings construction delays along with increased traffic flow in Pennsylvania. We set our time on a different carrier. The driver knew this area very well and had prior experience transporting in an enclosed carrier on this particular route.

Regional moving isn’t the same as moving across the country. The distances are smaller, but so are the expectations—cars must be delivered quickly with security intact. In moving old cars within regional states, having someone who understands back roads means everything. It wasn’t a first-year driver trying to learn the toll roads of Pennsylvania for the first time.

Interstate 80 versus Turnpike Routes: How Carriers Decide How to Route Your Car

I-80 is direct through Pennsylvania, and you get good driving conditions. Alternatively, you can take the turnpike system, and you’ll get to Ohio quicker but expect to pay toll charges.

When it comes to enclosed transportation routes for classic cars, drivers tend to choose I-80. The road is relatively predictable when it comes to merges and traffic jams compared to the turnpike zones with high metropolitan traffic. Weather conditions also have to be considered; if snow is to be expected in the mountain ranges, routes or schedules are rearranged, depending on the low-clearance classic car in transport, which in this case is the 300ZX. It wound up taking the driver for this route along the same route as the previous driver, I-80 West, and was not slowed down by the weather. 

This is much more efficient execution from pick-up through delivery. Route planning is more than following a map – the time of year and day, and the equipment being hauled as well.

Why Broker vs Direct Carrier Matters for Classic Car Shipping

Some people think they should skip the broker and go straight to a carrier company. Here’s what actually happens when you do that.

Direct carrier booking limits your options. You’re tied to one company’s schedule and equipment availability. If they don’t have a truck ready or the route doesn’t fit their network, you wait.

Brokers connect you with multiple carriers based on your specific needs. For this 300ZX shipment, we needed enclosed hardside protection and same-day service. We pulled from our network of vetted carriers and found the right match immediately.

Brokers also handle the logistics coordination that most customers don’t see. Route planning, timing adjustments, and communication between pickup and delivery locations all get managed behind the scenes.

The dealership in Moonachie has worked with us before. They trust our process because we’ve delivered results consistently. That trust doesn’t come from random carrier selections. It comes from knowing which drivers handle classic cars properly.

For vintage car transport where the stakes are higher, having access to specialized carriers makes the difference between a smooth move and a stressful experience.

Enclosed Lamborghini Huracan EVO Transport from Encino CA to Bozeman MT

The transport of a 2022 Lamborghini Huracan EVO from California to Montana is hardly similar to transporting an ordinary car. The car has only 3.5 inches of ground clearance, and regular loading ramps would be completely impractical. Any scratch to the front splitter could cost thousands of dollars. This is why the best car transport companies hire expertise and utilize enclosed car transport for such valuable shipments. 

The distance between Encino and Bozeman is approximately 1,100 miles and involves passage through some mountain ranges. Additionally, in winter, everything becomes harder; hence, best car transport companies will prioritize safety in their shipment strategies.

Enclosed Trailers vs. Standard Auto Transport

Hard side enclosed trailers come with steel or aluminum sides that encase your car in a protective vessel. Unlike soft side options with vinyl curtains, these hard sides keep out the elements as well as road junk. The two-car capability of these trailers benefits exotic cars with added space and security.

In normal automobile transport, open carriers are used, which transport between seven and ten cars simultaneously, and your car gets exposed completely to weather like rain and snow and also gravel on the way. The main differences are:

Super car transport differs from standard car transport in these ways:

• Indoor, controlled climate
• Loading equipment designed for low-clearance cars compared to conventional ramps
• Two-car capacity versus larger multi-vehicle shipments
• Premium Pricing for Specialty Equipment
• Requirements for expert handling as opposed to conventional driving tuition

This comes with a higher price for hard side trailers due to lower trailers, although for sports cars that cost $200,000, this comes as a distinct advantage.

The Reason Lamborghini and Supercar Owners Choose Enclosed Transport

Protection from the elements ranks as the primary reason owners select enclosed transport. Mountain highways expose vehicles to extreme temperature swings and sudden weather changes. A hard-sided trailer maintains stable conditions regardless of outside factors.

Road debris poses another serious threat to exotic car finishes. Semi-trucks kick up rocks and gravel at highway speeds. One impact from flying debris can chip paint or crack a windshield. The enclosed walls prevent any contact with road hazards.

Privacy matters to many supercar owners as well. An enclosed trailer keeps your vehicle hidden from view during the entire journey. No one knows what’s being transported inside. This reduces theft risk at fuel stops and overnight parking locations.

The climate control systems in premium enclosed trailers prevent condensation buildup. Temperature stability protects leather interiors and sensitive electronic systems. Your Lamborghini arrives in the same condition it left California.

Proper Loading Techniques for Vehicles with Low Ground Clearance

As the Huracan EVO is only 3 and half inches from the ground, it was important to ensure standard ramps wouldn’t scrub the front splitter, so tilt-bed rollback trailers are employed to avoid any contact with the car. In a tilt-bed rollback, the bed goes down to the ground level, and the car rides or drives over it without any tilt. The chassis will remain undamaged in this procedure.

The loading process takes approximately 50 minutes for exotic vehicles. Drivers position soft basket straps around each wheel to secure the vehicle. These padded straps prevent any metal-to-metal contact that could damage the wheels or suspension components.

Go-Jaks wheel dollies offer an alternative loading method for ultra-low vehicles. These hydraulic dollies lift each wheel independently and roll the car onto the trailer. The vehicle never touches the deck during loading. Race cars with aggressive aerodynamic components often require this approach.

Best Shipping Routes for California to Montana Auto Transport

From Encino, California, to Bozeman, Montana, the clear route follows I-5 north and then curves east from Oregon, Idaho, into Montana—a journey of some 1,200 miles in fair weather. But winter poses its own problems, as the Cascade range in Oregon, as well as the mountains of Montana, can CLOSE highways suddenly. And in Montana, the high mountains cause snowfall that can stop traffic in its tracks.

Seasonal routings are helpful. The best weather windows occur in the fall and spring; summer is easier to schedule, although it’s quite busy. For the winter route, allow additional time in case of weather-related delays.

What Residential Delivery Means for Enclosed Trailer Access

Residential delivery in Bozeman can also be challenging for two reasons. Firstly, it might be difficult for enclosed trailers measuring 32 feet in length due to wide turning circles. Other factors may also interfere in this kind of delivery. A call will come through between 12 to 24 hours before delivery to confirm whether your address is convenient enough for delivery. 

Alternatively, they will provide you with another place very close to your location where delivery is done to your premises through your vehicle in cases where your address is not convenient enough.

Payment Options for Super Car Transport Services

Tempus Logix offers two payment structures for enclosed and open car transport services. The partial cash on delivery option splits the total cost between booking and delivery. You pay a small amount by credit card when confirming your shipment dates.

The driver collects the remaining balance in cash when delivering at your location. This super car transporter cash payment method gives you time to inspect the vehicle before final payment. You can verify the condition matches the original pickup documentation.

Full credit card payment processes the entire amount before the driver gets to the pickup location. This option provides complete financial closure before transport begins. You receive your vehicle without any cash payment at delivery. Both methods work equally well depending on your preference.

The booking deposit only gets charged after the carrier confirms pickup scheduling. You never pay anything until a driver is assigned to your shipment. This policy protects customers from paying for services that haven’t been arranged yet.

Boat Transport by Road: All you Need to Know

Transport companies complete tens of shipping processes under the US bridges and on its highways daily; some could be for cars, others for motorcycles, and others for heavy equipment and boats. Boat transportation stands out as the most complicated and rigorous of all the vehicles mentioned earlier.

Because boats are bulky motor vehicles designed to be driven on water, transport companies always find boat transport by road challenging. Since it’s more cost-effective and faster than freight shipping, it has grown popular among clients.

So, if you have a boat and need to ship it safely and on short notice, you must consider boat transport by road. What is it and how to get the best of it, read till the end.

What is Boat Transport by Road?

Boat transport by road is a safe and very cost-effective method of punctually shipping your vehicle from point A to point B. The boat transport by road process revolves around lifting on and lifting off the boat on the back of a huge trailer.

Because a boat is usually enormous, the shipping company won’t provide you with open and enclosed auto shipping trailers, just like the case of car shipping. Rather, companies always transport boats on an extensive open trailer.

Get to Know Factors Influencing Boat Transport by Road Cost

1.      Size & weight

The size and weight of your boat are the most influencing factors regarding boat transport quotes. A wide and cumbersome boat will need more workforce, additional equipment, and more cautious handling throughout the shipment. Your boat’s height, in addition, is a significant constraint since towering boats need to plan special routes and avoid some bridges along the way.

2.      Distance

Logically, pulling a boat weighing a minimum of 400 pounds will be very fuel-consuming. The longer the distance, the more fuel burns, and consequently, the more the cost. In addition, since one trailer can’t possibly fit more than one boat, the company won’t be able to dole out the fee to several people heading to the same destination, similar to the case of shipping cars or motorcycles. Rather, you will be the only one paying for the fuel, workforce, and equipment utilization.

Research Reputable Boat Transport Companies 

As discussed earlier, moving a boat isn’t a small project; it’s a ticklish process requiring a professional, experienced shipping company. The company you should hire should have been long enough in the market to be acquainted with bulky boat handling.

In addition, a trustworthy boat transport company must be licensed and willing to provide its DOT number confidently. We also advise comparing many boat shipping quotes from different companies before settling for any to get the best deal. And remember, quality service is offered for a fair price, not a cheap nor an expensive one.

Visiting companies’ websites to read past clients’ reviews and check the feedback is always an advantageous move. Reading reviews will provide you with a comprehensive insight into the companies’ service quality, which one most stands out, and what is the best to hire.

Tempus Logix can provide quality shipping for all kinds and sizes of vehicles. Besides the long years of experience in the auto transport industry, the company has over 1000 online reviews from satisfied clients.

How to Prepare Your Boat for Transport

1. Measure your boat’s dimensions

As the width, length, and weight are the factors deciding your boat shipping quote, it’s crucial to make the measurements carefully. You also must remember the swim platforms and outboard motors, so don’t forget to measure them.

2. Secure everything  

Before the shipment, you must completely secure anything loose or extends beyond the boat’s hull. Hatches that might cause leaks should also be secured using tape. You must also lock or tape the doors to avoid collision with any outside item.

3. Drain all tanks

Emptying all water and fuel tanks is an essential step before the shipment to stay ahead of any accident or fire possibility during the trip. Some transport companies recommend leaving approximately ¼ of the fuel tank full. However, that’s not a standard procedure, so ensure you confirm with the company you hire. You should also remove anchors from the deck and drain plugs from the hull.

4. Clean and inspect your boat

All shipped vehicles, whether SUVs, cars, motors, or boats, are subject to different kinds of accidents. When the shipping company’s responsibility is to offer insurance to cover damages, if occurred, your responsibility is to be able to spot these damages.

The first and most critical step to ensure your boat’s safety is to clean it impeccably. Washing the boat will unravel any damage or scratch on its body, enabling you to identify its pre-shipping condition and compare it with the post-shipping one.  

The Bottom Line 

Boat transport by road is a safe and affordable way to ship your boat to another state stress-free. To ensure your motor vehicle arrives at its destination safely and sound, hire the best company in the market and prepare your boat effectively by following the tips mentioned above.
