Allied can ship a variety of vehicles, including cars, trucks, SUVs, and vans, as well as motorcycles, boats, and snowmobiles. The company maintains its own fleet of open and enclosed car carriers. Open carriers are the trucks you’ve likely seen on the highway carrying stacks of new cars from auto manufacturers to dealerships. Enclosed carriers are essentially semi-truck trailers that protect vehicles from the elements or roadway hazards. For high-value vehicles, including classic cars, the enclosed carrier option offers added protection during transport.
