Co-loading

Co-loading refers to the practice of placing multiple vehicles on a single transport carrier to maximize space, reduce fuel consumption, and lower overall shipping costs. It’s a standard strategy in the auto transport industry, especially for cross-country or multi-vehicle shipments.

By combining shipments from several customers, carriers can optimize their load capacity, making routes more efficient and pricing more competitive. This model benefits both the transport company and the customer, as the cost savings are often passed down through lower shipping rates.

At Interlane, co-loading is coordinated with careful attention to vehicle size, weight, and delivery destinations to avoid delays and ensure safe handling. Cars are strategically positioned on the trailer to maintain balance and reduce the risk of damage during transit.

While co-loading is generally safe and effective, customers with luxury or exotic vehicles may prefer an enclosed or single-vehicle service to minimize handling and exposure. In either case, Interlane provides flexible options based on customer preference and budget.

This method is ideal for dealerships, rental agencies, or individuals moving more than one vehicle, and it plays a key role in keeping auto transport eco-friendly and cost-efficient.

In summary:

  • Involves shipping multiple vehicles on one carrier
  • Reduces shipping costs by optimizing space and fuel use
  • Vehicles are carefully positioned for safety and efficiency
  • Ideal for multi-vehicle customers or long-distance moves
  • May not be preferred for high-value or specialty cars
