When relocating employees, HR teams have a lot to coordinate—but one often-overlooked detail is automobile shipping. For many employees, their vehicle is a non-negotiable part of daily life. Ensuring a smooth, timely car shipment can have a big impact on the success and satisfaction of a relocation.
That’s where MoveCenter comes in. Founded in 1963, MoveCenter has decades of experience helping companies relocate employees in more than 150 countries. We provide expert management of vehicle shipments—including an upgraded option that saves time, money, and stress: live load service.
The Basics: Traditional Auto Shipping
The standard auto shipping process typically involves loading the vehicle at a terminal or arranging a general pickup window with a transport carrier. While effective, it often means:
- Uncertain pickup or delivery times
- Multiple transfer points during transit
- Greater likelihood of handling damage
- Extended delivery windows that increase reliance on rental cars
For many employees, that experience just doesn’t meet the high standards of a corporate relocation.
A Better Option: Live Load with MoveCenter
Live load is a premium, scheduled service where the transport driver arrives at the employee’s location, loads the vehicle on the spot, and begins transport immediately. It’s not just a white-glove experience—it’s also a smarter and more efficient solution.
Key benefits include:
- Lower cost: Surprisingly, live load is less expensive than the traditional model due to fewer handoffs and terminal fees.
- Faster delivery: With no delays at holding lots or terminals, vehicles arrive significantly faster.
- Fewer damage claims: Fewer touchpoints mean less risk of dents or dings, reducing costs and stress for both the employee and employer.
- Reduced rental car expenses: A faster arrival means less time without a car—and lower reliance on costly rentals.
- Greater peace of mind: Employees can witness the loading process and meet the driver, ensuring full confidence in the care of their vehicle.
