Pickup in Modesto and checking the carrier
A loaded car hauler is about 75 feet long, so on narrow Modesto streets the driver may ask to meet at a wide lot; the 8 carriers based here will know which ones work. If the quote comes from a broker, ask which carrier's truck will come and open that USDOT number before pickup. Preparing the car and how car shipping is priced cover the rest.

Car shipping in Modesto: questions people ask
How many car shipping companies are there in Modesto, CA?

All 40 hold active registrations with motor vehicles declared as cargo and a fleet on file. Brokers are registered separately and are not counted.
Who is the largest auto transporter near Modesto?
By reported fleet, On the Go Auto Transport in Modesto, CA, with 3 trucks on its filing (USDOT 2763505). Fleet size is self-reported and describes capacity, not care; read the record behind the number before you book.
How much does it cost to ship a car from Modesto?
We publish no car-shipping price model, so this page prints no figures. The quote is set by the lane (Modesto to New York City, NY is about 2,910 miles), open or enclosed transport, the car's size and whether it runs, the season and direction, and how flexible your pickup window is. The pricing guide linked below explains each factor.
Will a car hauler pick up at my door in Modesto?
Usually as close as a 75-foot rig can legally and physically get. On narrow residential streets, in HOAs that bar commercial trucks, or where overhead lines are low, the driver will ask to meet at a wide lot nearby. Agree the meeting point when you book, not when the truck is idling.
How have car haulers near Modesto done at roadside inspections?
17 of the 40 listed here were inspected in the past 24 months, 50 inspections in all. Vehicles were put out of service in 7 of 33 vehicle inspections (21.2%), against 32.4% for listed auto transporters nationally.
