Transport decision matrix
Verify the exact sale, custody point, release and vehicle before assigning equipment.
| Decision | Why it matters | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Movement capability | Non-running can still mean rollable or completely immobile | Separate starts, rolls, steers and brakes answers |
| Damage profile | Collision, flood and burn damage create different acceptance issues | Photos, leaks, loose parts and contamination disclosure |
| Loading support | A forklift at the yard does not prove destination unloading | Written origin support and destination equipment |
| Title and buyer eligibility | Transport does not cure a purchasing or registration restriction | Auction and state eligibility evidence |
Independent service and evidence boundary
Car Shipping Now does not operate the auction or control payment, eligibility, release, loading support, storage policy or embedded transportation. The road-transport plan begins with the auction's current evidence.

Frequently asked questions
Can a wrecked auction car be shipped?
Often yes, after the carrier reviews its rolling condition, wheels, clearance, loose parts, leaks and loading plan.
Does every salvage vehicle need a forklift?
No. A rollable vehicle may use a winch; a vehicle with missing wheels or severe damage may require forklift, tow or specialty review.
Can a forklift load directly onto an auto carrier?
Only when the facility and carrier approve a safe method for the exact vehicle and equipment.
Is open transport suitable for a salvage car?
It can be when the vehicle is secure and accepted. Damage, loose parts, clearance and value control the decision.
