Pickup in Union and checking the carrier
A loaded car hauler is about 75 feet long, so on narrow Union streets the driver may ask to meet at a wide lot; agree the spot when you book. 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.

How much does it cost to ship a car from Union?
We publish no car-shipping price model, so this page prints no figures. The quote is set by the lane (Union to New York City, NY is about 1,069 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 Union?
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.
