What happens if the truck can’t access my pickup or drop-off address between San Antonio and Bakersfield?

If a carrier can’t reach your exact address, they’ll call to arrange a safe nearby hand-off point (a large retail parking lot, truck stop, or terminal); this approach keeps the car transport on schedule and avoids risky maneuvers on narrow streets.
