Is it Okay for Clients to Transport their Personal Items along with their Vehicles?

No. It is illegal for an auto transporter to execute auto transport from San Francisco California to New Mexico if their loaded vehicles contain personal items because the transporter is not licensed to move household goods.  The opposite is also true, as most home item movers are not licensed to ship a vehicle which is why many of the larger moving companies utilize our auto shipping from San Francisco California to New Mexico services to transport their clients’ vehicles.

Why?

The carrier and the vehicles being shipped are subject to inspection by the United States Department of Transportation and by state police. You and your auto transport from San Francisco California to New Mexico service provider could be fined up to $10,000 for illegally transporting household goods, or your vehicle faces the possibility of being impounded. The extra weight could put the auto transport truck over its weight limit, causing auto shipping from San Francisco California to New Mexico delays and additional costs. Think about this–the truck has the ability to hold up to 10 vehicles, meaning if all 10 were loaded with personal items, you know what is next.

Now, having said that–you can have items in your vehicle that you would normally have in it, but essentially the front and back seat should be free from any personal things other than items such as these. Essentially, it is the DOT that sets the rule here folks, not the auto transport from San Francisco California to New Mexico service providers.  There may be companies out there that are willing to risk it, but for us it’s not worth it to put our clients (or ourselves) at risk.
