College move-in season is one of the busiest times for auto transport. Parents and students alike are juggling dorm supplies, travel plans, and emotions, and the last thing they need is added stress about how to get a car to campus. Shipping with Corja Auto Hauling is the simple solution—but preparation makes all the difference.
Clean Out the Vehicle
Remove all personal belongings from the car. Packed items aren’t covered by insurance, and extra weight can create DOT compliance issues for the driver. Keep it empty and ready for transport.
Check Fluids, Battery, and Tires
Give the car a quick inspection before pickup. Make sure fluids are topped off, tires are properly inflated, and the battery is charged so the driver can easily load and unload.
Leave a Quarter Tank of Gas
The car only needs enough fuel to be driven on and off the trailer. A quarter tank is ideal—it keeps the weight down while ensuring the vehicle is functional.
Take Photos for Documentation
Before pickup, snap clear, dated photos of the car’s condition. This creates a record and ensures peace of mind.
Plan Ahead for Timing
College moves often fall during peak transport season. Booking early helps secure the best schedule and avoids last-minute stress.
Why Shipping Beats Driving
Long road trips are tough on both students and parents. Shipping avoids fatigue, accidents, and costly travel expenses while ensuring the vehicle arrives safely.
At Corja Auto Hauling, we know how important these milestones are for families. With over 10 years of nationwide experience, we provide safe, insured, and reliable open transport so your student has one less thing to worry about on move-in day.
