| This appears to be your shipment. If so it appears http://www.uship.com/shipment/1998-Chevrolet-Prizm/352820894/ It appears that you ship or at least try to ship many cars on UShip. I can only suggest that you check out your Carriers in the future so that you don't have these problems again. Car transport link: http://www.uship.com/vehicles/articles/choosing-an-auto-transporter/Choosing an auto transport company can be an overwhelming experience. There are several ways to find a transporter—the phone book and the internet are the most commonly used resources. If you are moving, ask your moving company for recommendations but do not feel obligated to use the same mover for your household goods and your car. Transporting a vehicle takes special skills, equipment and insurance, and your household mover may or may not be the best option for transporting your car. You should also ask friends and family for references, as first hand experience is the best indicator of the service you will receive. Check for proper transport authority When searching for an auto transporter, a few minutes of research can save you from major headaches in the long haul. All auto transporters are required to be registered with the Department of Transportation and must have an active USDOT and MC number. The only exception are forwarders or brokers, who only have MC numbers. To check the credentials of a transport company, search by their company name or USDOT number at www.safersys.org. In addition to verifying that their USDOT and MC numbers are valid, make sure that the carrier is specifically credentialed to transport motor vehicles. Verify liability and cargo insurance Along with being registered with the Department of Transportation, all carriers are required to have liability and cargo insurance. Although the amounts of coverage vary, you should request written proof of a transporter’s coverage before hiring them. You can confirm insurance information on www.safersys.org or by calling the transporter’s insurance company. The insurance should be current and should adequately cover the value of your car. Ask about any limits on the insurance, and if it is necessary, request additional coverage.
