This is a long form text area designed for your content that you can fill up with as many words as your heart desires. You can write articles, long mission statements, company policies, executive profiles, company awards/distinctions, office locations, shareholder reports, whitepapers, media mentions and other pieces of content that don’t fit into a shorter, more succinct space.
Articles – Good topics for articles include anything related to your company – recent changes to operations, the latest company softball game – or the industry you’re in. General business trends (think national and even international) are great article fodder, too.
Mission statements – You can tell a lot about a company by its mission statement. Don’t have one? Now might be a good time to create one and post it here. A good mission statement tells you what drives a company to do what it does.
Company policies – Are there company policies that are particularly important to your business? Perhaps your unlimited paternity/maternity leave policy has endeared you to employees across the company. This is a good place to talk about that.
Executive profiles – A company is only as strong as its executive leadership. This is a good place to show off who’s occupying the corner offices. Write a nice bio about each executive that includes what they do, how long they’ve been at it, and what got them to where they are.
This is a content preview space you can use to get your audience interested in what you have to say so they can’t wait to learn and read more. Pull out the most interesting detail that appears on the page and write it here.
We should first talk about vehicle weight. As per federal law, drivers are only allowed to carry a certain amount of weight in cargo per trip. The exact amount of weight is based on how many axels the transport vessel has. The total weight of a driver’s load is determined by adding up the estimated weights of each vehicle on the truck.
What’s important to understand about this fact is that the weight of a particular vehicle is an estimate based on the make and model of the vehicle, so your vehicle is not weighed before it’s picked up. The estimated weight of a vehicle is calculated by taking what a given vehicle weighs out of the factory and then allowing for an extra 100 lbs. or so to be tagged on to the estimated weight. Drivers are then mandated at certain points on the road to pull into weigh stations in order to check their compliance with the law, and will be fined if they are overweight. These fines will then be passed onto you.
We know these facts here at American Auto Transport, but many other auto transporters either don’t know or don’t care about these rules. This is why we allow up to 100 lbs. of goods to be transported in your vehicle, but no more. Don’t be fooled by other transporters, only bring 100 lbs. of cargo in your vehicle! Any more than that and you could be breaking federal law and you could be fined!
Another important topic concerning the rules and regulations of vehicle transport is vehicle height. All standard carriers have height restrictions of 7′ or less. If you have a vehicle that is over 7′, your vehicle will need to be transported on a special type of carrier, dependent on what kind of vehicle it is.
What we’ve noticed over the years is that many transporters again either don’t know or don’t care about this rule. This can cause delays of pickup and disgruntled drivers if not addressed immediately. Some companies even allow this to happen so that they can keep your deposit. You’ll also need to stay on top of this to avoid these types of calamities. If you believe your vehicle stands over 7′ tall, let us know beforehand so that we can be sure to send the right kind of vessel out to you!

My name is Tariq Robinson. I hope i can be beneficial by directing you to the right place to seek assistance from N.J.R. Logistic Group
Let me explain my department. I have many options in shipping vehicles. I do not issue rates or post on load boards. I obtain clients and contracts and submit the agreement to the appropriate trailer or division in my fleet.
When you asked to ship a vehicle also know if you want enclosed or open transport. Enclosed cost more to ship.
Download our movers vs. brokers fact sheet to learn the difference.
A moving broker is a company that arranges for the transportation of your cargo, utilizing for-hire carriers to provide the actual truck transportation. Moving brokers are sales teams that book your move and sell it to an actual moving company.
A moving broker is not a mover. A broker does not assume responsibility for, and is not authorized to transport, your household goods. Brokers do not have moving trucks or professional movers. Brokers for interstate moves are required to use only movers that are registered with FMCSA.
Sometimes the broker is not able to sell the job to a moving company for various reasons – low estimates, no availability, limited resources, etc. – and in this case you can get stuck without a mover on the day of your move. Many moving brokers operate from call centers located anywhere in the country.
When you book your move, make sure to ask the company whether they are an actual moving company or broker. If they are a broker, they must:

Liability & Protection
Working with a household goods carrier (mover) can be nerve-racking. You are packing up all your treasured possessions – furniture, family, pictures, heirlooms, antiques, children’s toys – and handing them over to strangers to load into a truck. While most moves go smoothly, accidents do happen, and some items may be lost or damaged during shipment.
Your mover is responsible for the value of the goods you asked them to transport. You can read about the two types of liability below or in the Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move booklet movers are required by Federal regulations to provide when you move from one state to another.
Under Federal law, interstate movers must offer two different liability options referred to as valuation coverage: Full Value Protection and Released Value.
Under Full Value Protection, your mover is responsible for the replacement value of lost or damaged goods in your entire shipment. This is the more comprehensive, but also more expensive, option for protecting your belongings. Unless you choose the Released Value option, described below, your mover will automatically move your belongings under this level of liability.
While moving, if any of your items are lost, destroyed, or damaged, your mover will offer to do one of the following for each item:
Under this option, movers are allowed to limit their legal responsibility to loss or damage to items of “extraordinary value”, meaning items that are valued more than $100 per pound (such as jewelry, china, or furs). However, if you specifically list these items on the shipping documents, your mover is still responsible for their safe delivery. Ask your mover for a written explanation of this limitation before your move.
The exact cost for Full Value Protection varies by mover and may be subject to various deductible levels of liability that can reduce your cost. Ask your mover for written details of their Full Value Protection plan.

Each state may have its own rules and regulations governing moves within the state. Check with your state, county or local consumer affairs agency or state moving association if you're moving to a new location within the same state.

Protect_Your_Move_Brochure.pdf (459.54 KB)
More than 35 million Americans move each year for personal reasons and career opportunities. It's a significant event in anyone's life. Your money, your memories are at stake. It can also be stressful, even under the best of circumstances. Know how to avoid one of the most stressful situations that can arise; protect yourself from dishonest, "rogue" movers.
Most moving companies are legitimate businesses that do quality work. But in recent years, a growing number of complaints have been filed against interstate movers-and many of those complaints spring from the fraudulent practices of a small percentage of dishonest movers known as rogue movers.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), has initiated a partnership with other Federal, State and local law enforcement agencies, consumer groups, and the moving industry to make sure you have the information you need to "Protect Your Memories. Your Money. Your Move." from fraud.
The Federal government, State and local law enforcement agencies, and the legitimate moving industry have joined forces to combat moving fraud, but you have an important role to play as well. If you're planning to move, it's important to learn as much as you can about your rights and responsibilities.
You can also use this site to link to other government, law enforcement and moving industry information sources. This is very important if you're looking for more detailed State and local information, including how to file a complaint.
Moving is a significant event in anyone’s life. While most moves go smoothly, there are some dishonest or “rogue” movers that may try to take advantage of you. The best defense against moving fraud is to be informed and aware of your options when choosing a moving company.
Get a written estimate from several movers and compare them. The estimate should be based on an actual in-person inspection of your household goods.
A U.S. DOT number is required by FMCSA for interstate moves. (For moves within a state, requirements vary. Check with your state, county or local consumer affairs agency or your state attorney general.)
FMCSA's mover search tool gives you up-to-date access to registered interstate movers and their complaint history.
You can also contact your local Better Business Bureau and consumer protection agencies.
If you hire a mover based solely on the lowest price, you may be sacrificing other things that are actually more important, like getting your possessions moved safely and delivered on time. And remember, movers are required by law to deliver your goods for no more than 10% above the price of a nonbinding estimate. This is known as the 110 percent rule.
Read Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move, a booklet from the Federal government that your mover is required to give you if you are moving from one state to another. This booklet also has information you’ll need if your goods are lost or damaged during the move.
Interstate movers must be registered with the Federal government and have a U.S. DOT number. Use our search tool to confirm your mover is registered.
