Pickup in Richmond and checking the carrier
A loaded car hauler is about 75 feet long, so on narrow Richmond streets the driver may ask to meet at a wide lot; the 9 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 Richmond: questions people ask
How many car shipping companies are there in Richmond, TX?
9 FMCSA-registered auto transporters are based in Richmond itself, and 40 more listed carriers work within 30 miles (Houston, Katy, Sugar Land, Stafford and nearby). All 49 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 Richmond?
By reported fleet, Trust Auto Transport LLC in Richmond, TX, with 20 trucks on its filing (USDOT 3015611). 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 Richmond?
We publish no car-shipping price model, so this page prints no figures. The quote is set by the lane (Richmond to New York City, NY is about 1,676 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 Richmond?
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 Richmond done at roadside inspections?
22 of the 49 listed here were inspected in the past 24 months, 105 inspections in all. Vehicles were put out of service in 24 of 82 vehicle inspections (29.3%), against 32.4% for listed auto transporters nationally.
