Book
Compare estimates, choose a company and confirm the price, pickup window and payment terms in writing.

Your order goes to a carrier with space on your route. Busy routes usually fill faster than rural ones.
- A range of days
Pickup window
Pickup happens within an agreed window, not at an exact hour. Drivers usually call ahead to set a time.
In transit
Time on the road depends on distance, weather, other stops and drivers' required rest breaks.
- On arrival
Delivery
Inspect the car against the Bill of Lading and note any new damage before you sign.
What can slow a shipment from Spokane
- A different climate from the rest of the stateSpokane gets cold, dry snow that lies, where Seattle gets rain. A carrier that has just come over the mountains has driven through two winters in one day. It is the reason a Spokane pickup can be delayed on a morning when the coast is clear.
- The mountains separate you from SeattleEverything moving between here and the coast crosses a Cascade pass, and those close for avalanche control and storms through the winter. An intrastate move from Spokane to Seattle carries more schedule risk in February than a run to Montana does.
- The natural stop on I-90Between Seattle and Missoula there is very little, so carriers running I-90 plan around Spokane. That gives the city better availability eastbound and westbound than its size suggests, and thinner options north and south.
Truck drivers may drive up to 11 hours after 10 consecutive hours off duty, which is why long routes are measured in days, not hours. Source: FMCSA hours of service
