I'm in the open carrier auto transport business and offer a few facts.
DAS has 18 wheeler transport vehicles that run from their home base in Texas. The majority of the DAS carriers are actually sub contractor-transporters. Most often they load and unload your vehicle a number of times as it is transferred from one truck to another and terminal to terminal zig-zagging across the country. These so called terminals usually are body shops, repo yards etc. Often their door to door service, is actually a roll back truck showing up to take your vehicle to a "holding center".
DAS has recently had many "contract/carrier" ads on the subrcription load board I subscribe to as they are quietly trying to restructure.
While they get the job done, they do not clearly state how your vehicle is handled or their practices. Not knocking them but thought it best to shed light on DAS.
No need to "Put Insurance" on your transported vehicle as any DOT Carrier is required by the DOT to carry a minimum of $1,000,000 in liability and $100,000 in property damage.
Most importantly, READ the terms of their contract as most in the fine print, state they are not responsible for anything ....Insist that they do a Condition Report with you there. BOTH you and the Driver sign same noting any cosmetic faults. At time of delivery again BOTH do the Condition Report and BOTH sign off as this is your only recourse.
While it is my policy to not offer transport services here (I'm usually booked) I can recommend a good number of decent carriers off line. ~Alan
