How far ahead should I schedule my pickup?
Generally, car move companies require 1-7 days notice so they can schedule you on the next available truck. Because this industry is route-based, it is often difficult to find a truck to move your car on short-notice. Some brokerages offer “express service,” but unless they a) own their own trucks and b) live where you do, express service generally takes more time than if you just scheduled a week or so ahead.
If an immediate pickup is absolutely necessary (in case of emergency), the car move company can probably help you. Many companies have contracts with hundreds of smaller trucking companies (and some even own their own trucks), so chances are they can get to you pretty quick. Don’t rely on this, however, because things have been known to go wrong. If you really want your car picked up in the time frame that you requested, make sure thecar move company has plenty of notice.

Car Mover CompanyAn car mover company can mean either an car moving move brokerage or an car moving carrier. A move broker, or move brokerage, is a type of car mover company that specializes in arranging move for customers. They give quotes based on the prices that carriers (another type of car mover company) are currently charging, but they handle most all the paperwork and keep things in line. A carrier is an car mover company that actually transports cars from one location to the other. These are easier to find, but most utilize move brokerages to find loads to move.
