Our Fleet
We provide nationwide enclosed vehicle transport using corporate-branded equipment operated by industry-leading drivers and technicians. Our custom-made Kentucky XL-12 trailers are built to OEM specifications and are especially designed to protect low-clearance and wide-body vehicles.
These best-in-class enclosed carriers offer hard-side transport with hydraulic liftgates, air-ride suspension, and soft strap tie-downs to keep your automobiles safe from debris, weather, dragging, vibration, and prying eyes. They are outfitted with telematics technology, which not only lets us know where our cabs and trailers are at all times, but also monitors driver behavior and vehicle diagnostics, so we can be sure we are providing an optimized and streamlined journey for your auto.

Individual Auto Transport
What are the major risks associated with improper auto transportation?
Improper auto transportation can result in vehicle damage, theft, hidden fees, poor communication, delayed delivery, and inadequate insurance coverage. For dealers and OEMs, the consequences extend to lost revenue, strained client relationships, missed marketing windows, and increased per-vehicle costs. Choosing a reputable partner minimizes these risks.
What does white-glove delivery mean for auto transport?
White-glove delivery is McCollister’s platinum package for classic, luxury, antique, and exotic vehicles. It includes fully enclosed company-owned carriers, soft-strap securing, air-ride suspension, hydraulic liftgates for low-clearance vehicles, a dedicated customer relations contact, and real-time GPS tracking throughout transit.
How far in advance should auto transport be booked?
For gold and silver packages, McCollister’s can typically provide transport within three days, depending on season and weather. Pickup windows of one, three, five, and seven days are available through our booking platform. For platinum white-glove service, allow two to three weeks and contact us directly.
How do I prepare my vehicle for transport?
Clean the vehicle inside and out, remove personal belongings, document its condition with photos, check the battery and tires, reduce fuel to one-quarter tank, disable alarms, and remove active toll tags. For a complete checklist, download our vehicle preparation guide.
What is a 3PL?
3PL stands for third-party logistics, referring to companies McCollister’s contracts with to haul on our behalf. These partners are thoroughly vetted for appropriate insurance coverage, DOT compliance, and adherence to McCollister’s operational standards and values.
What types of vehicles do you transport?
McCollister’s transports all vehicle types, makes, and models, including sedans, SUVs, trucks, luxury vehicles, electric vehicles, classic cars, antique cars, and exotic cars.
What factors influence the cost of dealer auto transport?
Pricing is based on route distance, vehicle quantity, and timing requirements. Contact McCollister’s for an accurate quote tailored to your dealership’s needs.
What types of OEM clients do you work with?
McCollister’s works with car manufacturers, automotive suppliers, EV companies, and global logistics partners needing white-label or branded shipping services.
What factors influence the cost of OEM auto transport?
OEM transport rates are structured around specific logistics needs, volumes, seasonal demand, and market capacity. Contact McCollister’s dedicated OEM logistics team for an accurate quote.
Does McCollister’s offer open and enclosed auto transport?
Yes. McCollister’s offers three service tiers: silver (open carrier through vetted 3PL partners), gold (enclosed transport through vetted 3PL partners), and platinum (enclosed white-glove transport on McCollister’s own company-owned fleet).
Is McCollister’s a broker or a carrier?
McCollister’s holds dual FMCSA authority as both a motor carrier and a freight broker. Depending on the service tier, vehicles may travel on McCollister’s own fleet or through vetted 3PL carrier partners. The capacity used is disclosed on every order confirmation.
