Roadside inspections: auto transporters near Petersburg
3 of the 11 auto transporters listed here had at least one roadside inspection in the 24 months to September 13, 2026, 4 inspections in all. Inspectors put the vehicle out of service in 1 of 3 vehicle inspections (33.3%), about the same as the 32.4% for listed auto transporters nationally. Drivers were put out of service in 1 of 4 driver inspections (25.0%, against 10.3%). With fewer than 30 vehicle inspections, a single out-of-service order moves that rate by several points, so treat it as a small sample. None has an acute or critical violation from an FMCSA investigation in the past 12 months.

Pickup in Petersburg and checking the carrier
A loaded car hauler is about 75 feet long, so on narrow Petersburg 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.
