Why Choose Certified Towing & Transport for Long Distance Hauls?
1. Specialized Equipment & Fleet
Long distance transport places high demands on vehicles, safety, and logistics. At Certified Towing & Transport, we maintain a modern fleet of flatbed rollback trucks, heavy-duty haulers, and specialized trailers designed to handle cars, boats, RVs, machinery, and oversized loads. Our equipment is routinely inspected and maintained to ensure it meets safety standards at all times.
2. Trained & Experienced Drivers
Long hauls require more than just trucks — they require expert drivers. Our team undergoes continuous training in secure load practices, route planning, regulatory compliance, and emergency handling. From handling delicate exotics to heavy motorized boats, we have the expertise to pack, secure, and transport your asset safely.
3. Transparent Pricing & Upfront Quotes
Before we begin any job, we provide clear, written estimates that cover distance, weight, permits, fuel, and special handling. There are no hidden fees. You’ll know exactly what to expect — and we stick to it.
4. 24/7 Support & Real-Time Tracking
Even during a cross-state transport, you deserve peace of mind. We provide round-the-clock communication and often can offer GPS-based status updates so you know exactly where your vehicle or vessel is at every leg of the journey.
5. Permits, Insurance, & Regulatory Compliance
Every route, especially long distance ones, may cross jurisdictions, require oversize load permits, or follow highway restrictions. We handle all necessary permits and ensure full liability coverage. Your property is protected under our insurance throughout the haul.

Our Process: Step by Step
-
Initial Inquiry & Quote
You reach out via phone or our contact form. Tell us your pickup and destination, dimensions, weight, and any special needs. We review and send a written quote within hours. -
Pre-Move Inspection & Prep
We inspect your vehicle or item — document condition with photos, fluid levels, tire pressures. For boats, we also verify drain plugs and secure loose parts. -
Permit & Route Planning
Our logistics team secures permits, plans the best route (avoiding low clearance, weight limits, or restricted zones), and schedules stops if needed. -
Loading & Securing
Our crew loads using winches, cranes, or ramps, and secures with straps, wheel nets, and supports. We test stability before departure. -
Transport, Communication & Monitoring
During transit, we maintain communication, monitor for issues, and adjust as needed for weather or road conditions. -
Delivery & Unloading
At destination, we carefully offload and inspect. We ask you to verify condition and sign off on delivery. -
Post-Transport Support & Follow-up
If any concern arises later (damage, mechanical issues), we stand behind our service.
Key Considerations in Long Distance Transport
Load Center of Gravity & Stability
When moving heavy loads (especially boats or machinery), balancing weight front-to-back and side-to-side is critical to safe transit. We use experienced engineers and load mapping to ensure stability under braking, cornering, and wind.
Protection from Road Elements
Open tractors expose vehicles to dust, road debris, rain, and UV. We provide use of soft covers, shrink-wrap, or enclosed carriers when needed, particularly for classic or exotic vehicles.
Road Conditions, Elevation, & Route Hazards
Long hauls may cross mountainous terrain, poor surfaces, steep grades, or narrow roads. Our drivers proactively choose alternate routes or slow speeds to mitigate risk.
Permits & Legal Compliance
Loads exceeding height, width, or weight thresholds require special permits, pilot cars, or hauling at certain times. We manage all aspects so you don’t have to.
Insurance & Liability
Our transport services include full liability protection during transit. If damage occurs due to our operations, rest assured we handle claims efficiently. We can also accommodate additional cargo insurance if you already carry it.
