San Antonio (Spanish for “Saint Anthony”), officially the City of San Antonio, is the seventh most populated city in the United States of America and the second most populated city in the state of Texas, with a population of 1,409,019. It was the fastest growing of the top 10 largest cities in the United States from 2000 to 2010, and the second from 1990 to 2000. The city is located in the American Southwest, the south–central part of Texas, and the southwestern corner of an urban region known as the Texas Triangle.

San Antonio serves as the seat of Bexar County. Recent annexations have extended the city’s boundaries into Medina County and, though for only a very tiny area near the city of Garden Ridge, into Comal County. The city has characteristics of other western urban centers in which there are sparsely populated areas and a low density rate outside of the city limits. San Antonio is the center of the San Antonio–New Braunfels Metropolitan Statistical Area. Commonly referred to as Greater San Antonio, the metropolitan area has a population of over 2.3 million based on the 2014 US Census estimate, making it the 25th-largest metropolitan area in the United States and third-largest in the state of Texas. Growth along the Interstate 35 and Interstate 10 corridors to the north, west and east make it likely that the metropolitan area will continue to expand.

Dallas is a major city in Texas and is the largest urban center of the fourth most populous metropolitan area in the United States.

According to the 2010 United States Census, the city had a population of 1,197,816. The United States Census Bureau’s estimate for the city’s population increased to 1,281,047, as of 2014.

Located in North Texas, Dallas is the main core of the largest metropolitan area in the South and the largest inland metropolitan area in the United States that lacks any navigable link to the sea. Dallas and nearby Fort Worth were developed due to the construction of major railroad lines through the area allowing access to cotton, cattle, and later oil in North and East Texas. The construction of the Interstate Highway System reinforced Dallas’ prominence as a transportation hub with four major interstate highways converging in the city, and a fifth interstate loop around it. Dallas developed as a strong industrial and financial center, and a major inland port, due to the convergence of major railroad lines, interstate highways, and the construction of Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, one of the largest and busiest airports in the world.

Spring and autumn are chock full of nice weather and transportation services are generally at their most average during these months. However, the weather in the spring can be quite severe and can change in a matter minutes. The city sits in a humid subtropical climate, which means that lots of warm, dry winds flow through the city. Strong cold fronts from the north cause nightly lows to drop lower than 10 degrees at times during the winter months, though snow is seen only 3 days out of the year (on average).

Dallas is a wonderful place to live, and if you are looking for auto transport to the city, look no further than The Car Carriage.

Houston is also a popular auto transport destination. Auto transport to Houston, is pretty easy to book throughout the year, which is actually somewhat rare. During the summer months there are some areas that are more expensive to ship to than normal, and Houston could be one of them, depending on when in the summer you’re shipping. During the winter months, though, prices to Houston tend to drop, because there are fewer customers looking for auto transport services during the winter months and Houston becomes a pretty popular area due to the lack of snow. Carriers are more willing to run routes through that area of Texas – and, indeed, along the southern half of the U.S. – during the winter than in the northern areas, which also helps the prices for customers. – See more at our home page.

Being a do-it-yourself type of guy, I can sympathize with those who want to drive their vehicle to their new location themselves. To some of them, the idea that they could use an auto transport company doesn’t even pop into their head. What they soon realize however, is that it is simply cheaper to hire an auto shipping company. To most people this doesn’t make sense initially, but if you think about it, car transport companies are incredibly efficient, transporting ten large vehicles at a time. That’s efficiency!

And when you’re embarking on the transportation yourself, people don’t consider the cumulative price of gas, food, lodging, tolls, and all of the work they’re missing out on. Hypothetically, if one were to transport their vehicle across the United States themselves, that could be thousands of dollars. Also, what happens if you break down or get a flat?

Now hiring an auto transport company, like The Car Carriage, doesn’t seem like such a bad idea does it?

Auto transporters and car owners have one thing in common when it comes to auto transport–we all want your vehicle to be as safe as possible in transit. The importance of car(go) securement may seem obvious and even easy, but there is a lot of care and experience involved when it comes to keeping your car safe and secure.

And this significance isn’t just for truckers and transporters; this year has also been an active one for federal safety inspections focused on cargo safety. Excellent auto transport comes together through a combination of knowledge, skill, experience, and sometimes even excitement.

Handle With Care

Securing an automobile for transport is a specialized skill that involves a lot of knowledge, experience, and hard work. More than just simply backing up to a loading dock, car haulers have to be hands-on almost every step of the way.

After the car has been driven onto the trailer, the truck’s hydraulic ramps lift and tilt the car into optimal position.

Then the trucker gets to work strapping it in with a series of wheel straps.

The trucker starts with at least four wheel straps, two each at the front and rear of the car, to keep it from moving at all. Sometimes there are special mounting points on the vehicle, but most often the car is secured by the chassis and over and around the wheels.

A carrier is one place you don’t want your car bouncing or rocking! Immobilization is of utmost importance, but placement is key to keeping every car pristine. That’s why reputable car shippers like The Car Carriage only work with experienced auto transporters who have exceptionally high service and satisfaction ratings.

Rules and Regulations

According to the North American Standard Inspection Program, every year, around four-million commercial motor vehicle inspections are conducted every year. Federal focus has been on safety across all areas of transportation, so it comes as no surprise that inspections have been especially intense when it comes to how cargo is carried.

Safety is a major concern–to protect the cars of course, and others on the road. That’s why there are so many rules and regulations established by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) on cargo securement, especially when it comes to transporting vehicles.

Special Securements

Car haulers have a lot of experience providing special care and consideration for each customer and car. Every vehicle has its own sensitive areas and stress points, but experienced auto transporters know just how and where to strap-in every vehicle size and shape.

On older cars, such as popular classics from the 50s and 60s, the metal may be weaker or even partially rusted, so truckers know to avoid putting any extra weight on those parts. In this case, the trucker would use special canvas straps to hold the car, and possibly extra tire strapping.

Sometimes cars need to be shipped with parts that cannot fit inside the car, like Roadsters or Hotrods. They have to be secured as well using straps or cargo nets.

The additional four tires attached to the above vehicle required extra straps and cargo nets.

For oversized and overweight loads, such as a M35A and MRAP military vehicles, appropriate equipment must be sent to accommodate and secure the extra size and weight. In these cases, chains can be used (due to the durability of the vehicles), attached to the frame, as well as stronger and wider straps and larger ratchets that can take the extra pressure.

Labor of Love

The Car Carriage staff has shipped vehicles of every size and shape imaginable. Now you’ve seen not only how and why securement is so important for auto transport, but also some examples of the ways The Car Carriage makes sure every auto travels at its very best.

It’s a big responsibility, but we’re not only up for it, we enjoy doing it. Our car haulers have done the hard work of learning how to care for this special cargo because they love the experience, the cars, and the satisfaction of getting every vehicle safely home.
