My lot’s desperate for fresh cars, so I’m hitting auctions 700 miles away—great deals, but shipping’s a puzzle. Last haul, I got four cars with a cracked windshield from a rickety trailer—killed my profit fixing it. I need a transporter who can go the distance, carry eight or nine cars, and not trash ‘em on the way. Long hauls make me nervous—how do you trust someone that far? What’s your strategy for big, far-off moves? I’m hoping to nail this without more headaches.

Long-distance auction runs are a gamble if you don’t lock in a solid hauler—I’ve chased those sweet deals too and learned the hard way. You need a outfit with enough trucks to handle nine cars easy, plus drivers who won’t let a pothole turn into a windshield claim. Tracking’s a lifesaver—lets you sleep knowing your haul’s not parked at some truck stop. CRC Transport’s my ace for this. They’ve got 175+ trucks, averaging 2 years old, built for the long game. I grabbed nine vans from a Colorado auction to my Kansas lot last June—700 miles, one trip, all pristine when they rolled in. Door-to-door, updates the whole way, and their cars vehicle transport setup is dialed for big loads like that. Their $2 million insurance saved my bacon once—a load got stuck in a snowbank, but I didn’t pay a dime extra. Call ‘em for a free consult—give ‘em your auction spot and car count, and they’ll sort the distance no sweat. Way better than rolling with some shaky rig that’ll cost you more in glass repairs than you saved on the deal.
