Driveaway services are when, instead of shipping your semi truck or vehicle on a trailer, a licensed and experienced agent drives it to the destination. Driveaway services are only permitted for road-legal vehicles. While some are drivable, it may only be legal to do so in certain areas, such as commercial job sites. As long as the semi-truck or vehicle is road-legal, one of our driveaway specialists can drive it anywhere in the country. Drive-away services work for local and long-distance trips.
Driveaway services take less time from dispatch to delivery since you don’t need to have your truck loaded on a trailer. The routes may also differ, since areas may not have to be avoided due to an oversize nature. As with trailer shipping, a driveaway company should be licensed, bonded, and insured. This adds a layer of protection to the driveaway service. Find out if truckaway services are best for your semi truck by giving us a call today!
Before making a booking, you should review a driveaway company to see if they’re reputable. Factors such as proof of insurance and past records are what to consider. Therefore, ensure you ask for an MC license number to see if the company has been involved in accidents and also check the reviews of previous clients. If you doubt the professionalism of a company, keep looking as you may end up disappointed. The last thing any of us would want is a delayed shipment or even worse, a wrecked truck or vehicle that isn’t insured. The way a truckaway company responds to your questions should also be a key factor. A good company like ours will reply on time and with accurate information.

When you book our vehicle and semi truck drive-away services, your request is assigned to a specific agent who processes the paperwork within the shortest time possible and contacts the driver near the pick-up location. Once the driver gets to the semi-truck, he starts by inspecting it and filling out a BOL form that’s later used to confirm whether it’s been safely delivered. Once this process is done, they contact the agent who proceeds to dispatch the shipment. Wide Load Shipping gives you the details of the driver moving your load to ensure that you can communicate until it’s delivered.
Depending on the pick up and delivery location, our drivers are familiar with the fastest and most suitable routes to use to ensure your semi truck is delivered on time. Wide Load Shipping will fully insure your semi truck before its transported so that if anything happens along the way, you’re fully compensated. To make it even better, we make you a holder of the insurance coverage so that if you need compensation, you can go to the insurance company without having to contact us. This makes the process easy and fast.
The cost of driveaway services ranges between $2 to $3.50 per mile but can be higher or lower depending on inflation.
