The Auto Transport (left) is ideal for long-distance moves and the Tow Dolly (right) is great for both In-Town and One-Way moves.

Once you have selected your moving truck, next will be to choose how to move your personal vehicle. There are two options, a tow dolly or an auto transport.  The main difference between the two is the Two Dolly will only carry two wheels whereas the Auto Transport carries the entire vehicle.

Split dispatch: Pick up your moving truck first

One of the easiest ways to execute this type of move is to pick up your moving truck first at your scheduled location. After your belongings are loaded in the moving truck, you can then return back to your pick up location and load up your personal vehicle on the Auto Transport.

If you prefer to pick up both moving equipment at the same time, it will be more challenging to load your belongings because your towed vehicle and trailer will be in the way.
