Where is my Vehicle?

Tracking a vehicle while in transit on a truck is mostly done by contacting the trucking company direct or the driver. And that is by phone or email. If a broker tells you do track your vehicle, it means you need to make calls to find our where it is. These are some of the reasons why tracking a vehicle is not as easy as a tracking service such as provided by UPS or Fedex:

1. Each shipment is unique and is often a one time transaction carried out by different parties.
2. Brokers do not have devices that can be placed in vehicles to track each vehicle's entire route.
3. Most Carriers are indepoendent and do not carry out instructions from brokers to use tracking devices for their customers.
4. Tracking of vehicles is complicated and will be costly to incorporate into the shipping rate for customers
5. Carriers tend to shy away from being tracked as they often have to change their original routes due to unforseen circumstances and that may cause alarm amongst customers.

There may be a few companies that may offer some type of electronic tracking but those are the exception. And they may be quite expensive compared to most other reputable auto transport brokers. It is important to know that your broker is dependable, relaible and have up to date information on your shipment. By giving them a direct call will be just as good as tracking your vehcile online.

The best way to find out which brokers are worthwhile considering shipping your vehcile should be vetted and researched. Consult the BBB or google for customer ratings and reviews. Do not just take the cheapest quote. It may cost you a great deal of money and frustration.
