About Car Hauler Trucking

Car haulers transport 8-10 vehicles per load between dealerships, auctions, ports, and manufacturers. Rates are per-vehicle rather than per-mile, with premium pricing for enclosed transport and long-distance moves.

Car Hauler Market in the Northeast

Northeast flatbed demand is driven by construction materials and steel distribution across the region's dense urban centers.
