No, you can not ship personal property in your vehicle!

The car shipping industry is full of self-serving brokers that will tell you what you want to hear in order to make a sale and get your deposit.  Many common responses to this question is:

  • Yes, as long as it is under 100 lbs
  • Yes, as long as it fits in the trunk
  • Yes, as long as the driver says it's ok.

All of these answers are FALSE!  The drivers can not over-ride law just because.  There is no where in the law that allows car carriers to haul personal property if it is "in the trunk" or "under 100lbs".  The law does require trucking companies to have specific licensing if they are hauling houshold good and car carriers do not have that licensing.  The only thing allowed in the vehicle during tranpsort is items that belong with the car (car seats, items related to the vehicle, jumper cables, etc).

Keep in mind that if your broker (an many answering this question are doing this) lies to you by telling you it's ok, then how many other lies will they tell you to get you signed up.
