Scheduled Vehicle Transport in Shreveport
Not every tow is a rescue. Bought a car across town, sending one to a buyer, moving inventory between lots, or shuttling a vehicle to a shop on your own schedule - transport work books in advance, quotes flat, and runs on your calendar, not a crisis clock.

The online or auction purchase
What's going on: The marketplace find is across town, the auction win is across the parish, and neither has plates, a trustworthy test drive, or a seller who wants to meet twice. Around here the finds scatter wide - a truck in Benton, a project car in Keithville, an estate sedan across the river in Bossier - and each one sits at the end of a drive you would rather not make twice.
What we do: Pickup books against the seller's schedule, the vehicle gets winch-loaded if it does not run, and delivery lands at your garage or shop. Payment and paperwork between you and the seller stay yours; the move in the middle becomes one flat-quoted line item.
Typical cost: $95 - $150 local; longer pickups quoted flat with both addresses.
Dealer and lot moves
What's going on: Trades between stores, inventory rebalancing, the sold unit that needs to be at the other location by Thursday - dealer work runs on schedules and paperwork. The dealer rows along I-20, Youree Drive, and Benton Road trade units constantly, and every transfer handled in-house is a driver off the floor for an hour.
What we do: Standing arrangements or one-off bookings, windows that respect your sales floor, and clean itemized invoices per move. Recurring lot-to-lot work is worth one phone call to set up properly.
Typical cost: Flat per move by distance; recurring arrangements quoted as a schedule, not per crisis.
Delivering a car you sold
What's going on: The buyer is across the metro, the second driver does not exist, and caravanning two cars across town costs an afternoon and a favor.
What we do: The sold car rides the deck to the buyer's address in a booked window. You keep the sale simple, the buyer gets delivery, and nobody spends Saturday coordinating a two-car shuttle.
Typical cost: $95 - $150 local delivery, quoted flat when you book.
Shop-to-shop transfers
What's going on: The mechanic finished, the body shop is next; or the specialty work - transmission, upholstery, tune - lives at a different address than the diagnosis did.
What we do: The transfer books between both shops' schedules, the car moves without either shop donating a driver, and the receipt slots into whichever repair file needs it.
Typical cost: $95 - $150 between local shops, flat, agreed in advance.
The stored or seasonal vehicle
What's going on: The convertible summering elsewhere, the project car headed to winter storage, the RV-lot shuttle that happens twice a year on a calendar, not in a panic.
What we do: Seasonal moves book weeks out if you like, ride on calm-morning windows, and repeat next season with one call. Storage-lot access hours get coordinated so the truck and the gate agree. The local calendar has a second hand worth watching: Gulf humidity is hard on stored vehicles, so spring moves out and fall moves back book heaviest, and the early caller gets the pick of windows.
Typical cost: $95 - $150 local; the same flat number each season, barring distance changes.
The relative's car that has to move
What's going on: A parent stopped driving, a student left for the semester, an estate needs the sedan at a different address - family logistics with a vehicle in the middle.
What we do: The car moves in a booked window with or without the family present, keys handed off however works, delivery confirmed by phone. One awkward errand becomes one clean line item. Cross-town here usually means cross-river; the bridges are part of the route, not a complication.
Typical cost: $95 - $150 local, quoted flat. Longer family moves priced in writing with both addresses.
How a Scheduled Move Works
One call with both addresses, the vehicle, and its condition - running, rolling, or neither. You get a flat quote and a window. On the day, the driver calls ahead at pickup, loads with the equipment the booking promised, and confirms delivery when the vehicle lands. The quote covers the whole move; the receipt itemizes it for whoever's file it belongs in - yours, the buyer's, the estate's, or the shop's. No part of the process requires anyone to be stranded first. Distance math stays simple in this metro: most moves live inside the Shreveport-Bossier map and take the local flat rate, river crossing included. Runs down I-49 toward the pine country, out US-71, or along I-20 past Greenwood price as hook plus per-mile with both addresses in hand - stated once, in writing, before the window goes on the calendar.
Transport vs. the Two-Driver Shuffle
The honest comparison for any planned move: the do-it-yourself version costs a second driver, a second car, an afternoon of coordination, and - for anything that does not run - a borrowed trailer and a prayer. The transport version costs $95 to $150 locally and one phone call. For running cars moving short distances with two willing drivers handy, the shuffle is genuinely free and you should do it; you will hear that honesty on the phone. For everything else - non-runners, single drivers, schedules that do not align, vehicles worth protecting - the deck wins the math, and the math is stated before you commit.
How It Works
- Say where and what. Cross streets, exit, or bridge - plus the vehicle and what it is doing. A pin beats everything.
- Hear the price and a real ETA. The number lands before the truck leaves and survives to the receipt. Planned moves get theirs days in advance.
- Get moving again. Fixed at the curb when possible, towed where you choose when not.
What It Costs
Local scheduled moves run $95 - $150 flat; longer distances quote as hook fee plus per-mile, in writing before booking. One number covers the whole move - pickup, transport, delivery - and it is agreed before the truck is assigned.
Scheduled Vehicle Transport Questions, Answered
What does scheduled transport cost?
$95 to $150 flat for local moves - pickup, transport, delivery, one number, agreed before booking. Longer distances quote as hook plus per-mile, in writing.
How far ahead do I book?
A day or two covers most moves; a week locks a premium window like a Saturday morning. Recurring and seasonal moves can book as far out as your calendar reaches.
Can you pick up a car I bought if I cannot be there?
Yes - coordinate the handoff with the seller, and the driver confirms the vehicle and condition by phone with photos at pickup. Delivery lands at your address with a call ahead.
Do you move non-running vehicles on a schedule?
Routinely - winch loading handles no-start, no-steer, no-keys. Describe the condition and the path to the vehicle at booking so the right rigging arrives.
Can dealers set up recurring transfers?
Yes - standing arrangements with per-move invoicing are worth one setup call. Lot-to-lot work runs on your schedule, not a dispatch queue.
Is it cheaper to just drive it with two people?
For a running car, a short hop, and two willing drivers - yes, and you will hear that honestly. Transport earns its fee on non-runners, solo owners, tight schedules, and vehicles worth protecting from an amateur trailer.
