There’s a better way to get them to campus safely

College classes will be starting before you know it, and whether it’s their first year or senior year, sending your child off to college is hard. If you’re sending them across the country, it can make it even more worrisome. Will they have everything they need, like healthy food? Will be they able to get to the store if they need something like cold medicine? What if they need to work a job or are able to find a great internship, will they have reliable transportation?

Professional Auto Shippers offers you peace of mind by providing open transport services that will reliably and safely ship your son or daughter’s vehicle across the country or just across the state. The most important thing is working with an experienced auto transport company to assure their vehicle gets there on time.

Unfamiliar roads and late night driving can be unsafe

Your college student will be eager to arrive at their new school. They have a lot to do before stepping in to their first class. They will be driving long hours and late at night on unfamiliar roads. One wrong turn, missed gas station or charging station, and it could get a lot harder and definitely unsafe.

Sending them in a loaded vehicle can be trouble

On top of long hours of driving through unfamilar roads, having a vehicle that is loaded with item can be a bad idea. Items can shift in the vehicle, and if poorly packed personal belongings can fly towards the driver if they have to brake suddenly.

Having a loaded vehicle can also be a target for theft. Even if the items aren’t valuable, the possibility of scoring big for a theif could be a tempation they can’t resist. It will cost you those items and most likely a broken window.

Although your Student may need their vehicle this year, you don’t want them to drive it all that way, especially with if it’s loaded down. You also don’t want or truly have time to drive all that way yourself. So what’s a better, safer, and a huge time-saving way to get them the vehicle they need? Having it shipped to them. Shipping a car is fairly hassle-free when you work with the right auto transport company.

Keep Your Student Safe

Although people travel across the country safely most of the time, why risk delays or damages? If your student would have to travel across a desert or plains area, it can be many miles between towns and gas stations. If they are to breakdown, will they be able to get help? Will they remember to check the gas gauge when they are in town to make sure they don’t run out?

If your student is going from one Climate to another, it can also be harder on their vehicle. For instance, in the cooler climates like the Midwest, your tires are usually good to go as long as you keep them well inflated. If your student drives from a cooler climate to the warmer southern climate, those tires could be in for a shock. Warmer and drier climates are harder on tires and other rubber parts of the car like hoses. Different climates call for different maintenance on their vehicle. A cross country drive also puts unnecessary wear and tear on a vehicle, too. Long distance driving can also be part of the danger for your student as well. It’s been shown that driving drowsy can be almost as dangerous as driving intoxicated. In fact, drowsy driving has estimated to be a factor in 20% of fatal crashes. This is because they are more likely to be slower to react, not able to make safe decisions, and more distracted.
