Open Auto Transport Carrier Truck

Reliable & Budget-Friendly Open Auto Shipping Across the USA

Open auto transport is the backbone of the American vehicle shipping industry. Over 90% of all passenger vehicles, from family sedans and compact cars to mid-size crossovers, pickup trucks, and minivans, travel safely on open car carrier trailers. When you book open transport with US Freight Master, you gain access to an elite network of more than 18,500 FMCSA-licensed and vetted motor carriers.

Our double-decker open carriers typically haul between 7 and 10 vehicles at a time, maximizing fuel economy and highway efficiency. This volume advantage directly lowers your shipping price while ensuring the fastest dispatch turnaround times of any car transport method.

Door-to-Door Convenience

How Open Carrier Haulers Work

Open car carriers feature specialized steel ramps, hydraulic platforms, and heavy-duty wheel straps. Each vehicle is individually strapped by all four tires rather than by the chassis or suspension, ensuring the vehicle rides on its own natural suspension without undue stress. During transit, vehicles are exposed to outdoor elements just as they would be when driven on the highway, making this option ideal for daily drivers, lease returns, and commuter vehicles.

Simple Vehicle Preparation Checklist

  • Wash your car for an accurate inspection
  • Keep fuel level at approximately 1/4 tank
  • Deactivate or remove toll transponders
  • Ensure tire pressure is properly set
  • Remove loose personal valuables
  • Provide an extra working set of vehicle keys

Open Auto Transport FAQs

Yes. Open auto shipping is the preferred logistical standard utilized by major automobile manufacturers to deliver new inventory to dealerships. Vehicles are secured with industrial over-tire soft straps, preventing movement during interstate transit.
Open carriers transport between 7 and 10 vehicles on each cross-country run. This high carrying capacity spreads the cost of fuel, highway tolls, and driver operations across multiple shipments, making it 30% to 50% more affordable than enclosed trailers.
Up to 100 lbs of personal items are generally allowed in the trunk below the window line. However, DOT regulations prohibit cargo in the passenger cabin, and carrier insurance only covers the vehicle itself, not personal belongings.
Standard pickup windows for open auto transport are typically 1 to 3 business days from your first available date. If you require emergency or guaranteed same-day pickup, our expedited service option is also available.
