Policies Governing Auto Transport and Shipping Services
- 10027246 Manitoba Ltd agrees to transport Customer’s vehicle between the origin and destination (terminal/residential/commercial) locations. If the customer requires door pickup or delivery, the carrier can only deliver to locations that are legally able to and safe. A mutually agreed upon place to load/unload the vehicle(s) may be necessary due to low-hanging trees, low-hanging wires, narrow streets, and residential area restrictions.
- Carrier and driver or agents, jointly and separately, are authorized to operate and transport the customer’s motor vehicle between its pickup location and the destination set forth on the shipping order and Bill of Lading(s).
- 10027246 Manitoba Ltd does not guarantee pickup and delivery dates or transit times and wait times. All dates and assertions made by 10027246 Manitoba Ltd are best estimates. Delays may occur prior to or during transport due to weather, road conditions, mechanical problems, etc. There are absolutely no guarantees regarding pickup or delivery times and dates.
- 10027246 Manitoba Ltd/Carrier shall not be held responsible for loss or damages occasioned by delays of any kind or for any reason, car rental fees, or any accommodation fees.
- The customer is responsible for preparing the vehicle to be shipped.
- All loose parts, fragile accessories, low-hanging spoilers, etc., must be removed or secured. Any part of the vehicle that falls off during transport is customer’s responsibility, including damages caused by said part to any vehicles(s) or person involved.
- The customer shall remove all non-permanent, outside-mounted luggage and other racks prior to shipment.
- The vehicle must be in good running condition (unless otherwise noted).
- The vehicle’s interior must be reasonably clean and free of garbage.
- At least ¼ tank but recommended to have no more than ½ a tank of fuel.
- The vehicle must have correct levels of antifreeze, oil, and other fluids and must not be leaking.
- All vehicles must have a working foot brake and parking brake/e-brake (unless otherwise noted).
- The customer must disarm any alarm system installed in the vehicle or provide proper instructions for this matter. In the event said alarm sounds and there are no keys or instructions to turn it off, carrier may silence the alarm by any means.
- If there are special instructions for operating the vehicle, please attach the instructions to the dash of the car where they are clearly visible.
- Any non-operational vehicle(s) that were not previously disclosed at the time of booking will be charged an additional minimum of $300.00 Canadian. If a vehicle becomes non-operational during shipment, these fees, plus any additional fees required to accomplish delivery, will be added to the customer’s account and must be paid prior to delivery. Depending on the vehicle’s location, we may not be able to proceed with delivery if the vehicle becomes inoperable.
- All oversized vehicles must be declared at the time of booking (eg. lifted, oversized tires, dually, ladder racks, lights, truck bed caps, etc.). The customer must declare any after-market features that are on the vehicle and inquire as to the extra charges. Failure to do so may incur additional charges or fees.
- Any vehicles with less than 6 inches of ground clearance must be declared at the time of booking. Most vehicle transport trailers and rail transport companies require at least 6 inches of ground clearance to be able to safely load/unload a vehicle without causing damage. An enclosed transport option is available for vehicles with low ground clearance, as many of those trailers have lift gates that can safely load/unload vehicles with low ground clearance.
- The customer agrees that 10027246 Manitoba Ltd reserves the right to cancel any order for any reason at any time.
- Personal property may not be left inside the vehicle unless confirmed by 10027246 Manitoba Ltd prior to shipping. If you have been approved to have personal items left inside your vehicle, carrier and 10027246 Manitoba Ltd are not liable for loss or damage to said personal items, nor for damage to the vehicle caused by excessive or improper loading of personal items.
- The following items are strictly prohibited from being in the vehicle at the time of shipping; guns, ammunition, flammable products, explosives, narcotics, alcohol, jewelry, precious metals, furs, money, pets, plants, and contraband. The shipper agrees that the carrier may confiscate or dispose of said items with no remuneration, and the appropriate Government authorities will be contacted.
- All fees must be paid prior to shipping of motor vehicle unless otherwise authorized by 10027246 Manitoba Ltd. Customer warrants that they will pay the full transportation price due to 10027246 Manitoba Ltd in full and will not try to offset any dispute for damage claims or delays etc. from freight (transport) charges. If payment cannot be made, the vehicle will be stored at the customer’s expense until full payment has been made.
- At the time of door pickup/terminal drop off, the customer and carrier will carefully inspect the vehicle for pre-existing damage (exterior only) by completing a vehicle inspection report recorded on the Bill of Lading. Carrier and Customer will both acknowledge the condition of the vehicle, and the customer will sign and receive a copy of the Bill of Lading.
- Snow-covered or excessively dirty vehicles will not be insured for scratches or dents that could be hidden at the time of shipment.
- If a condition report cannot be done at a terminal when dropping off, photos must again be taken of the vehicle at the terminal. A condition report will be done when your vehicle is being loaded onto the transport truck.

- Damage must be noted in the proper place on the Bill of Lading/Inspection Form and signed by the customer regardless of weather conditions, time of day, or day of week.

- The carrier accepts the responsibility of the vehicle after pre-inspection is done and Bill of Lading is signed by the customer. Carrier responsibility will end when the vehicle is delivered and the customer signs the final Bill of Lading inspection.
