Shipping a car in Shelby

Shelby is a small Toole County, Montana community of about 3,273 residents. The closest MT city we cover is Cut Bank, about 25 mi away, which is what makes a door pickup practical here. Where a full-size trailer cannot reach the address, we agree a meet point at the time of booking.

Shelby works as a standalone pickup within reach of Cut Bank (25 mi), Sunburst (25 mi) and Choteau (50 mi). A Montana run through this area may take in Cut Bank on the same trip before heading out on I-90, I-15, and US-2. That is why pickup is quoted as a window of days rather than a set hour: the arrival time depends on the stops booked around yours.

Distances from Shelby to the larger markets around it: Billings, MT at about 290 road miles, Spokane, WA at about 315 road miles and Boise, ID at about 470 road miles. Distance decides more of a long-distance rate than anything else, so those numbers are where a quote starts. Our published corridors of comparable length, 155 to 435 miles, quote $400 to $750 for a sedan on an open trailer, which is the frame for a quote from here rather than a price for it.

Elsewhere in Toole County we also collect in Sunburst. A booking that shares a truck with a neighbouring pickup is usually the cheaper option, so it is worth mentioning if you are moving more than one vehicle.

Before you book

Carrier checks and vehicle preparation are the same for a Shelby pickup as for any other, so they are covered once rather than on every city page. Before pickup, ask for the carrier's MC or USDOT number to look up on FMCSA SAFER and for its cargo insurance certificate. How to prepare your car for shipping covers the wash, fuel level and personal items, and the Bill of Lading guide explains the condition report you sign at both ends.
