Quick Vehicle Condition Check

Answer a few short questions so we can match you with a carrier that has the right equipment.

Vehicle Condition Questionnaire

This helps us determine loading equipment ahead of pickup — it takes less than a minute.

Does the vehicle start?
Does it roll freely?
Does it steer?
Do the brakes work?
Are the tires inflated?
Is a forklift available on-site, if needed?
Do you know if a winch will be required to load it?

Not sure about an answer? A quick guess is fine — our team will confirm everything before pickup.

Your Equipment Snapshot

Updates automatically as you answer above.

Answer the questions to see what's recommended.
Most non-running vehicles just need a flatbed or winch-equipped carrier — nothing to worry about.

Why It Matters

Why We Ask About Your Vehicle's Condition

Right Equipment, First Try

A vehicle that doesn't roll or steer needs a winch and flatbed setup — showing up without one causes delays.

Safer Loading

Knowing brake and tire condition ahead of time lets the driver plan a safe, controlled loading process.

More Accurate Quote

Non-running vehicles can involve specialized equipment, which is factored into your price upfront — no surprises at pickup.

Less Time On-Site

When the driver arrives prepared, pickup goes faster for everyone involved.

What's Included

Equipment for Non-Running Vehicles

Winch-Equipped Trailers

Used to safely pull a vehicle onto the trailer when it can't be driven on under its own power.

Flatbed & Forklift Loading

For vehicles that can't roll at all, a forklift or flatbed setup keeps the loading process controlled.

Experienced Operators

Drivers who regularly handle inoperable vehicles and know how to load them without added risk.

Common Questions

Non-Running Transport FAQs

Can you really transport a car that doesn't start at all?

Yes. With advance notice, we arrange a carrier equipped with a winch and, if needed, a forklift to load a vehicle that can't be driven on under its own power.

Does a non-running vehicle cost more to ship?

It can, since specialized equipment and extra loading time may be involved. Answering the condition questions above helps us quote this accurately from the start.

What if the tires are flat or the wheels are locked?

Let us know in the questionnaire above. Depending on the situation, the carrier may bring a dolly or skates to help move the vehicle onto the trailer.

What if there's no forklift available at pickup?

That's fine — most non-running vehicles are loaded with a winch rather than a forklift. We only arrange forklift support for specific situations where it's actually needed.
