Pickup in Palmdale and checking the carrier
A loaded car hauler is about 75 feet long, so on narrow Palmdale streets the driver may ask to meet at a wide lot; the 6 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.

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.
