Pros and cons of auto transport services

It is pretty common for every man in his life to relocate. In fact invariably at least millions of people every day relocate in our busy world. So there is no need for surprises. Relocating can be due to many reasons. Both personal needs as well as office demands come under the common reasons. The distance involved also varies. People either move within the same city, between cities, or across nations as well. Some people relocate just to satisfy their dreams and live in places where they once dreamed to live. When moving within the same city, of course there is no need for the services provided by the auto transport service providers. However when relocating across nations or cities, you cannot embark upon such long journeys on your own. This is where auto transport service providers come to your aid.

Every process or products or inventions has its own pros and cons. These words holds true for auto transport services as well. Fortunately, there are very few negligible negative points when it comes to car shipping services and it is largely based upon the service provider only.

Pros of Auto Transport Services:

Moving a vehicle is not an easy task. Vehicles are heavy to be moved around and pretty costly as well. Thus they need to be given at most care when moving process occurs. It is ok and implies less pressure or stress on you to considerable levels when the distance between the current place and the destination is quite small. When the distance is longer, we ought to depend upon the service providers as they provide the shipping service in an efficient way. All you need to do is contact them and they’ll come to your place, pick your car, take responsibility for your car and drop it at your destination with at most care. They also provide you facilities such as email and toll free enquiry, online estimates, insurance quotes and other details for your benefits. They also provide necessary billing statements once the task is done and the charges are paid with which you can claim damage costs legally in case there are any damages to your car at the time of delivery.

These companies also provide you auto insurance when you avail their services. They also activate remote GPS system for you to monitor the movement of car when the shipping is in progress in case you need it. With the insurance, you can claim for damage costs in case if any damages where caused during shipping.

Cons of Auto Transport Services:

Companies provide two methods of transport services, ne is Open method and the other is enclosed method. Open method often involves environmental risks and hazards. There is a chance for scratches and damages to get incorporated while the shipping is in progress. Especially this holds true if the driver is not an experienced one. Some companies do not provide proper GPS system facilities as well. Thus before availing services, check for the company’s reputation and their experience for the task.

Olympic ambition


ORANGE’S Hockeyroos star Jade Warrender isn’t taking last month’s four nations win in Mendoza, Argentina for determined, saying she has to work even harder now to cement a place in the Australian squad for the outlook.

“One of my goals this year was to try and cement a place in the Hockeyroos side,” Warrender said from the Hockeyroos High presentation Unit in Perth.

“I thought I played pretty well in Argentina but from time to time that’s not enough. You have to keep on training, keep performing well and keep working hard on the one percenters. Those things that make you a expert athlete.

“If I can carry on doing those things and getting better then hopefully I’ll be closer to making the Olympic program.”

Warrender made her debut along with seven other fresh faces for the Hockeyroos against hockey powerhouses Argentina, Germany and the USA from February 9 in two four nations contests.

The changing of the guard in Australian women’s hockey marks the beginning of a transformation phase before the squad embarks on its 2012 London Olympics movement.
The new-look Hockeyroos beaten the world’s number one side, Argentina, 3-2 in the final in an extra-time thriller. A Jodie Schulz strikes one miniature into extra-time sealed the win for the Hockeyroos. Warrender never expected to win so early in her fledging career. “It was great. It was definitely the most pleasant tour I’ve been on,” she said.

“To knock the Argies off and get that win in the final with the final strike was a good taste of victory for the group. All of the girls worked really hard.” The 18-year-old believes so many new faces gave the Hockeyroos an edge.

“I guess so. [the opposition] obviously haven’t seen the eight of us that made our debuts, I think that kind of gave us an X-factor but teams at that level, they don’t take too long to figure out how you play, that’s why you have to keep on improving,” she said. This was never more obvious than in the second four nation’s tournament.
