Auto shipping is a newcomer in the business world and is still in the process of development. The first thing most people who own a car think of when they need to relocate is to drive their car toits new destination, no matter how far. But now, they need to rethink - the auto shipping companies are making the transportation of private vehicles safer, more widely available and cheaper for the customer while more profitable for them.
Have you just won your dream car in an auto lottery; bought a car overseas; are you moving to another city? Before the dawn of the auto shipping industry you would have to either give up your dream, give up your car, or drive it (the car, that is, to pursue the dream) all the way yourself, suffering long monotonous (the word itself tediously rides on the wheels of 4 dull o's) hours at wheel, expenses (expected and unexpected), damage (hopefully, mostly to the car) by criminal and natural elements, and, after you have mastered a few foreign-language audio-courses and listened to the entire King James Bible, some bad luck while passing through one of those sleepy American towns which are not what they seem. Now you can spare yourself all this trouble by calling a shipping company.
The French company CMA COM, S.A. declared to the world in early August of 2007 that they had ventured into container shipping, not a bad thing since they are the third largest shipping company in the world. In their announcement they made clear that at least four light vehicles could be loaded into each of their containers. This was made possible by the latest technological advancements which became a breakthrough for the industry. For the first time, shipping could be handled from the factory to the distribution center with complete safety.
Yet, while statistics testify to the increasing popularity of the method, the perspectives of container auto shipping are still not quite clear. The auto shipping industry is distinguished by the high complexity of each shipment, increased risks, and great responsibility. For this reason, large-scale projects are undertaken by large transportation organizations which command sufficient technical and monetary resources to adequately solve any problems which may arise.
Considering the high costs of each vehicle and the fact that even slight damage may incur significant expenses, only qualified specialists can be trusted with the security of the cargo. An operator regularly shipping cars should have a regular team of workers: regular workers are costlier, but show more care when handling expensive cargo.
Without the development of global as well as domestic business, the future for auto transport is limited. Long distance, large scale movement between countries is what container shipping is all about. Should a country be blessed with a network of roads in good condition, they can transport autos the quick, easy and economical way, by open carrier trucks. This method also requires in order to thrive, a large number of car manufacturing companies. If you travel at all, you will have noticed that most countries are hard at work improving their roads, but this can take years and even decades to become a reasonable and safe method of popular transportation.
The more widespread and efficient the means of any business become the more the tendency to adopt the cheapest of the effective options. A lot depends on whether large car manufacturers will be able to transport products straight across borders and into major cities and industrial centers. - 30243
