Clarkson, St. Lawrence, and SUNY Potsdam students ship cars home with us every break — on our own trucks, from a carrier based just 2.5 hours south in Clinton, NY.
Text (315) 999-1132 Get an instant online quotePotsdam and Canton sit about ten miles apart on US-11 in St. Lawrence County — a solid two hours north of the Thruway. That's the problem with booking through a national broker: they take your money first, then go hunting for some carrier willing to leave I-90 and drive two hours north for one car. That's where the "sorry, your carrier fell through" stories come from.
We don't have that problem, because we're the carrier and the North Country is home turf. Auto Transport Solutions is based in Clinton, NY — roughly 2.5 hours down Route 12 — and our trucks work this region all the time. Clarkson and St. Lawrence students (and their parents) use us the same way every year: ship the car up for fall move-in, ship it home in May, or skip the winter entirely — fly out for December break and let us haul the car instead of white-knuckling US-11 in the snow.
The busiest weeks are late August (move-in) and mid-May (move-out and graduation), so if you're aiming at those windows, text us your dates a couple of weeks ahead and we'll slot the pickup around your schedule.
Home from Potsdam or Canton: a sedan starts at $1,800 door-to-door, even cross-country to California. To school from California, Arizona, or Nevada: $2,000. SUVs add $200, pickup trucks add $600. A $100 deposit holds your spot and applies to the total; the balance is due on delivery by Zelle, cash, or Venmo — after you inspect the car. Full pricing here.
Talk to the carrier directly — no broker, no runaround.

Can you pick the car up right at the dorm in Potsdam or Canton?As close as we safely can. A car-hauler is big, so the driver parks somewhere safe nearby and takes an Uber over to meet you — or, if you would rather we not drive your car at all, you can Uber out to the truck. Whatever you prefer.
How long does it take?Coast-to-coast averages about 4 days once the car is picked up — the average across our 25,000+ transports. Closer runs are faster.
How do the deposit and payment work?A $100 deposit holds your spot and applies to the total — it is not an extra fee. The balance is due on delivery by Zelle, cash, or Venmo, after you inspect the car.
Are you a broker?No. We are the FMCSA-registered carrier — our trucks, our drivers, our insurance ($500K cargo, $1M liability). Google our MC number 1014646, USDOT 3234308, or (315) 939-0186 (our phone on file with USDOT) and we come up on the federal SAFER registry.
