Transportation Timeline

The time it takes to transport your vehicle can vary based on several factors, including the distance, route, and specific circumstances of the shipment. Here’s a general idea of what to expect:

1. Distance and Delivery Timeframes

  • Short Distances (0-500 miles): Typically takes 1-3 days.
  • Medium Distances (500-1,500 miles): Usually takes 3-7 days.
  • Long Distances (1,500+ miles): Can take 7-14 days or longer, depending on the specific route and conditions.

2. Pick-Up Time Frame

  • Scheduling: After booking, Byroad Logistics provide a pick-up window rather than a specific date. This window is usually between 1-5 days from the date you request the service.
  • Express or Expedited Services: If you need your vehicle picked up more quickly, Byroad Logistics offer expedited services, which can shorten the pick-up window to 1-2 days, but this may come at a higher cost.

3. Factors Affecting Delivery Time

  • Route and Stops: The time frame can be affected by the specific route the carrier takes, including the number of stops or vehicles being picked up or dropped off along the way.
  • Weather Conditions: Bad weather can delay transportation, particularly during winter months or in areas prone to storms.
  • Road Conditions: Traffic, road construction, or other logistical challenges can also impact the delivery time.
  • Type of Transport:
    • Open Transport: More common and generally faster, but might involve more stops as the carrier is shared with other vehicles.
    • Enclosed Transport: Typically used for high-value vehicles; might take longer due to less frequent availability.

4. Delivery Time Frame

  • Standard Delivery: After the vehicle is picked up, delivery typically occurs within the timeframes mentioned above, depending on distance.
  • Expedited Delivery: For an additional cost, expedited shipping options can reduce the delivery time, sometimes by several days.

5. Communication

  • Updates: Byroad Logistics will keep you informed about the progress of your shipment, including any delays or changes to the expected delivery time.
