What you can and can't! ship in your vehicle


Of course, you can’t ship anything flammable, explosive, dangerous or illegal. 
FMCSA rules also prohibit non-vehicle-related items from being transported with the vehicle.


Rule of thumb:


Do the items “belong” in or with the car?


YES, you can include it! For example:


  • Child car seats
  • Car Cover
  • Tools, if it’s a work-vehicle (such as a plumber’s truck)



Is it unrelated?


No, FMCSA does not allow the following:


  • Luggage
  • Personal items
  • Household items
  • Anything unrelated to the car



Why does FMCSA Prohibit Personal and Household Items?


  • Excess Weight: Car transporters must enter weigh stations and are subject to other inspections along highways. For safety reasons they must limit the total weight on their trailer.
  • Laws and Fines: Car transporters are not licensed by the FMCSA to carry household or personal items, and could be fined at inspection stations.
  • Insurance Not Available: Because transporters are not licensed to carry household or personal items, they would be unable to obtain or provide any insurance for any non-vehicle items in case of damage or loss.
