Roadside inspections: auto transporters near Reno
2 of the 5 auto transporters listed here had at least one roadside inspection in the 24 months to September 13, 2026, 8 inspections in all.

Drivers were put out of service in 2 of 8 driver inspections (25.0%, against 10.3%).

Pickup in Reno and checking the carrier
A loaded car hauler is about 75 feet long, so on narrow Reno streets the driver may ask to meet at a wide lot; the 4 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.
