What to Expect from California Vehicle Shipping with SGT Auto Transport

For many of us, there’s a real bond between drivers and their vehicles. Their cars and trucks symbolize something that goes a lot deeper and is more profound than just the vehicle’s dollar value or Blue Book resale value. That’s why in many cases, people are a little apprehensive when they’re considering shipping a vehicle from Arkansas to California; that’s a big job and it would be a mistake to go with the first vehicle transport company you find. Lowest rates often mean a tradeoff on performance and quality, with those cut-rate transport companies cutting corners and leaving you less than satisfied with the outcome.

What Factors Affect the Cost to Ship a Car From Arkansas to California?

These are all some of the bigger factors that have to be taken into account when setting rates for car shipping:

Vehicle year/make/model: this is one question that every car shipping company will ask. For any logistics rate calculation, if something is bigger and heavier, it’s going to take up more real estate in a trailer and it’s going to cost more in fuel for every mile it’s transported down the road. A heavy duty forklift that weighs 8000 lbs will cost more to ship than a 1000 lb golf cart, and a Ford F150 that’s 15 ft long and weighs 5500 lbs will be more expensive to ship than a Fiat 500 with a curb weight of 2500 lbs. 

Vehicle running condition: SGT can and does ship non-running vehicles; for instance, auto transport is the perfect way to get a project car that’s under restoration to a specialty shop in some other part of the country. It does require special equipment and procedures on the part of the transport driver, though; not all transport trucks are equipped with a winch to load and secure a car that can’t start, run, drive, steer and stop on its own. Shipping a non-running car will come at a premium cost. 

Seasonality: every car shipping company in Arkansas (or anywhere else) can tell you there are certain times of the year when the workload picks up and more people need vehicle transport services. During those calendar periods, more of our transport drivers will be busy with customer vehicles and fewer will be available for incoming orders. The supply/demand equation then means that it’s going to cost more to use the drivers who are available, at least until things slow down again. 

Desired transport method: different vehicles require different kinds of handling and differing degrees of security and protection while en route.  We do offer a few different options for vehicle transport (which we’ll talk about in a moment), giving us the flexibility for customers to custom-fit their car transport to their own expectations. Those all come in at different price points, which will affect billing. 

Fuel costs: it’s been common wisdom for 50 years that a rise in fuel costs means a rise in everything that gets transported by truck or by rail. Higher prices per gallon mean that it costs more to get groceries, hardware, lumber and consumer goods to market, and the same applies to vehicle transport too. The good news is that the system that determines rates at SGT Auto Transport is semi-automated and takes fuel prices into account; when fuel prices go down, rates will cool off as well. 

Cost/mile: this is always the most basic yardstick for shipping rates, for any logistics company. All of the above factors and more go into the cost/mile calculations; the good news is that for a very long transport run like Arkansas to California, cost/mile starts to drop, making it a pretty solid value. 

How long does it take to Ship a Car from Arkansas to California?

Let’s zero in on the distance from Little Rock to San Diego. The good news is that you can make this entire trip on I-20 and I-10, so it’s at least efficient. The not so good news is that it’s over 1600 miles and would take 24 hours on the road, if you could do it straight through with no breaks (which is about impossible). Our guidelines for transport drivers note that a delivery involving 200 miles of driving should take a single day to complete. If a driver has to cover 2000 miles, we consider that to be an 8 to 9 day turnaround. With that in mind, we can estimate that auto transport from Little Rock to San Diego could take 6  to 7 days. 

 

Do remember, though, that transport times are not guaranteed and will always be a best estimate. Things like road conditions, weather, detours, construction, traffic and DOT regulations on hours of service for drivers can all slow things down once a delivery is dispatched and on the road. If it does look like your delivery schedule is going to be disrupted and your driver is delayed, you’ll be notified by the team here at SGT Auto Transport and we’ll keep you updated on the new ETA.

How much does car transport Arkansas to California cost?

When calculating the cost of auto transport, car shipping companies in Arkansas to California consider several things. The key factor is how far you want to ship your vehicle, closely followed by the type of vehicle you want to ship. The following factors also make a difference in the cost of car shipping services.

What to Expect When Your Car Arrives

We’ll give you our estimate for an ETA, and the driver will arrive curbside at your destination to drop off the vehicle at this time. You will both perform a post-trip inspection as well, and you’ll be asked to sign the Bill of Lading before taking possession of the car again. Also please note that if you decided on discounted shipping with balance due on delivery, you can pay that amount directly to the driver. Cash, cashier’s check, major credit cards, PayPal, Zelle or money order are all accepted.
