How To Move Across The Country?

Questions

​​​​Question: Why should I use Cross Country Driver instead of a car-hauler type truck or train? 

Answer: Cross Country Driver is a personalized, concierge service. We pick up and deliver your vehicle based exactly upon your schedule, not a trucking company or train route. Car-haulers post your trip requirements to a central posting board which is used to consolidate loads. This means that if you have hired XYZ Transport to move your vehicle, ABC Transport may actually perform the work based upon a bid. Is this bad? Not necessarily but you lose the choice of carrier upon signing with XYZ. There is also a higher probability of damage when your vehicle is transported via open haulers or train, but most will cover repairs. ​

Question: What about Insurance?

Answer:There are many factors that can go into a quote, from the time of year, to ground transportation costs and flight schedules. Each potential drive is quoted on an individual basis and given the time and respect it deserves. Quote times can sometimes take up to 24 hours to receive, because of this time requirement.

Question: Will you drive my U-Haul Truck? Will you drive my Penske Truck?

Question: How do you estimate fuel costs?

Answer: Fuel costs are changing rapidly in the United States, so we utilize FuelEconomy.gov for everyday vehicles. For moving trucks, we estimate approximately 8 miles per gallon for smaller U-Hauls, 5 miles per gallon for larger, 26 foot trucks towing a vehicle.

Question: What happens in the event of a breakdown?

Answer:  We carry a premium AAA package, which may cover initial towing, but you would ultimately be responsible for the cost of any repairs.

Question: What happens in the event of an accident?

Answer: First, you are notified immediately. Secondly, information on both parties involved would be exchanged, a police report will be attained, and the cost of the repairs would be covered under the owner’s insurance deductible. If the accident is caused by our driver leading to an insurance claim, Cross Country Driver would gladly reimburse the owner up to $500 towards the policies deductible. To date, Cross Country Driver has never had an accident, and we are very proud of it.

Question: How do you service so many moving clients?

Answer: Because of demand, there are times when we cannot service all moving customers who request it. During those times, typically in the summer when families are most likely to move, we will partner with a quality moving service provider such as www.MovingTruckDriver.com. Moving Truck Driver specializes in driving rental trucks nationwide.
