Practical planning information before you book

Timing and scheduling
  • Booking lead time: Lead times vary by route, season, driver availability, and border requirements.
  • Transit windows: Delivery depends on origin, destination, weather, traffic, paperwork, and inspection requirements.
  • Pickup and delivery: Shipments are arranged in practical operating windows, not exact minute-by-minute appointments.
Vehicle preparation
  • Readiness: Confirm whether the vehicle runs, steers, brakes, rolls, and has keys available.
  • Fuel level: A modest fuel level is preferred for loading and unloading; confirm current guidance when scheduled.
  • Condition reports: Visible condition should be documented at pickup and delivery.
Cross-border and paperwork
  • Documents: Canada/U.S. moves may require ownership, title, customs, import/export, identification, or eligibility details.
  • Personal items: Contents may be restricted by customs rules, insurance conditions, and route requirements.
  • Eligibility: Oakwood can confirm what must be reviewed before cross-border movement is accepted.
Payment, coverage, and special handling
  • Insurance: Coverage terms, limits, deductibles, and exclusions should be reviewed before shipment.
  • COD: COD means payment is due at delivery or release where applicable.
  • Carrier type: Equipment and special-handling options depend on vehicle type, route, and availability.
