What is Open Transport?
Open car transport is the most common and cost-effective method of vehicle shipping, using open carrier trailers that transport multiple vehicles at once. This type of open carrier car shipping is widely used across the U.S. for standard vehicles due to its availability, efficiency, and competitive pricing.
Vehicles are securely loaded onto open trailers and may be exposed to weather and road conditions during transit. Despite this, open auto transport is a safe, proven, and reliable solution trusted by dealerships, auctions, and individual customers nationwide.
Car Haul Direct (CHD) provides nationwide open car transport services across all 50 states, offering fast scheduling, real-time tracking, and competitive, fair pricing based on live market conditions.
