Long distance hauling services from Hickory, North Carolina for vehicle transport beyond the immediate service area.

Transport Vehicles Safely Beyond Local Roads

When you purchase a vehicle out of state, experience a breakdown far from home, or need to relocate a car across multiple counties, long distance hauling removes the uncertainty of a long drive. You avoid putting miles on a vehicle that may not be road-ready, and you eliminate the need to arrange lodging or fuel stops along the way. The vehicle is loaded once, transported securely, and delivered to the address you provide.

AMA Towing & Recovery LLC offers vehicle transport beyond Hickory using flatbeds equipped with secure tie-down systems designed for extended travel. Communication is maintained throughout the haul, so you know when the vehicle departs, when it's expected to arrive, and if any delays occur. The service is built around safety and accountability, with drivers trained to handle highway conditions and route planning that accounts for vehicle size and load weight.

If you need a vehicle transported beyond the local area, contact AMA Towing & Recovery LLC to discuss the pickup location and destination.

How Long Distance Hauling Works


The driver meets you at the pickup location in or near Hickory, inspects the vehicle for pre-existing damage, and loads it onto the flatbed using a hydraulic tilt or winch system. The vehicle is then secured with heavy-duty straps at the frame and axle points, and the load is rechecked before the haul begins. You receive confirmation once the vehicle is on the road and updates during transit if the route is longer than a few hours.

After the haul is complete, the vehicle is unloaded at the destination address you provided, whether that's a home, dealership, or repair facility. The straps are removed carefully, and the vehicle is positioned where you can access it without obstruction. You'll notice the vehicle arrives in the same condition it left, with no additional wear or exposure to driving conditions it couldn't handle.

This service does not include mechanical work, storage, or cleaning at either end of the haul. It covers the physical transport of the vehicle from the pickup point to the delivery point, including communication along the way. If weather or road closures affect the route, the driver will notify you and adjust the arrival time accordingly.

Common Concerns Before a Long Haul

People scheduling long distance hauling usually want to know how the vehicle is protected, how long the trip will take, and what happens if something changes during transit. Here are the answers to the questions that come up most often.

What types of vehicles can you haul long distance?
You can haul cars, trucks, motorcycles, and other vehicles that fit securely on a flatbed. Non-running vehicles, those with body damage, or vehicles without current registration can all be transported without issue.
How long does a long distance haul take?
The time depends on the distance and route, but most hauls within a few hundred miles take between four and eight hours. You'll receive an estimated arrival time once the vehicle is loaded and the driver is en route.
How do you keep the vehicle secure during the trip?
The vehicle is secured with heavy-duty tie-down straps attached to the frame or axle at multiple anchor points on the flatbed. The straps are tensioned and inspected before departure, and the load is monitored at rest stops or fuel breaks.
What happens if the weather changes or the road closes?
The driver monitors conditions and adjusts the route if needed to avoid delays or unsafe roads. You'll be notified if the arrival time changes due to weather, closures, or other factors beyond the driver's control.
When should I use long distance hauling instead of driving the vehicle myself?
You should use hauling when the vehicle isn't safe to drive, when you don't have time for a long trip, or when adding miles would reduce the vehicle's resale value. It's also useful for relocations or purchases where the vehicle is too far to retrieve in one day.
