When the Peterson family relocated from Boston, Massachusetts to Austin, Texas, they needed a safe, affordable way to move their SUV 2,000 miles without driving cross-country. Like many families planning a long-distance move, they worried about high fuel costs, hotel stays, and potential wear and tear on their vehicle. Here’s how Northaxis Freight LLC helped them ship their car door-to-door — on time, fully insured, and for less than the cost of driving it themselves.
1. The Challenge
Relocating from Boston to Austin meant a multi-day drive through several states, with unpredictable weather and over $1,100 in estimated fuel and lodging costs. The family wanted a hassle-free solution that allowed them to fly and have their SUV meet them in Austin ready to go.
2. The Solution
Northaxis Freight LLC provided a free instant quote and arranged an open carrier auto transport — the most cost-effective option for their vehicle. Pickup was scheduled from their home in Boston within 48 hours, and delivery to their new Austin address was completed in just 5 days.
3. The Results
The SUV arrived on schedule, damage-free, and fully insured. The Petersons saved time, avoided nearly 2,000 miles of driving, and eliminated the stress of coordinating multiple stops along the way.
