Pickup in Albany and checking the carrier
A loaded car hauler is about 75 feet long, so on narrow Albany streets the driver may ask to meet at a wide lot; the 1 carrier 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.
