I have heard of enclosed and open carriers in auto shipping. What are they?
The meanings of these words are evident from their names. The open carrier is a truck that is open and does not have a cover. It can carry 14 cars at the same time. Cars traveling in open carriers understandably are subject to weather conditions. There are people who do not prefer open carriers and select enclosed carriers for shipping their vehicles. The enclosed carriers are closed on all sides and ensure protection from any untoward weather or a natural hazard during transit. These carriers are more expensive than open carriers. Though expensive, it is advisable to send your car in enclosed carriers for protection from the weather. Especially if you are transporting a vintage or a very expensive limo, it is wise to choose an enclosed carrier for the shipment.
