Getting a car to or from Middlebury College — a rural Route 7 town where owning the truck is the whole difference. Door-to-door, on our own trucks, with the driver assigned the day you book.
Text (315) 999-1132 Get an instant online quoteMiddlebury is exactly the kind of place where a direct carrier earns its keep. The college sits on Route 7, roughly an hour from Burlington and a long way from any interstate. When a broker takes a Middlebury order, they don't send a truck — they post your car to a load board and hope a carrier passing through rural Addison County decides one car is worth the detour. Often nobody does, and the pickup date quietly slips. We skip all of that: our own trucks already run Route 7, so a Middlebury stop goes on a driver's schedule the day you book.
On pickup day, the driver coordinates by text. A full-size car hauler is about 75 feet long — not something you park on College Street — so he finds a safe, legal, wide spot nearby and either Ubers over to meet you or has you come out to the truck, whichever you prefer. Ten minutes, a walk-around inspection, and the car is loaded.
Pricing follows the pickup location: getting a car home from Middlebury starts at $2,500 for a sedan, and shipping one to school from a California, Arizona, or Nevada pickup is $2,000 flat (SUV +$200, pickup truck +$600 either way). A $100 deposit applies to the total; the balance is paid on delivery by Zelle, cash, or Venmo after you inspect the car. And because Middlebury runs on its own clock — Febs arriving and graduating mid-year, language-school summers — we ship this lane year-round, not just in May and September.
Talk to the carrier directly — no broker, no runaround.
Text (315) 999-1132We come to Middlebury. Our own trucks run Route 7 through Addison County, so a Middlebury pickup is a scheduled stop for us — not a load posted to a board hoping a stranger accepts it. Door-to-door is the default.
How much to ship a car home from Middlebury College?Shipments picked up in Vermont start at $2,500 for a sedan (SUV +$200, pickup truck +$600). Going the other way, a sedan picked up in California, Arizona, or Nevada and delivered to Middlebury is $2,000 flat.
Why do brokers struggle with a town like Middlebury?A broker doesn't own trucks — they post your car to a load board and wait for a carrier to claim it. A single car in a rural Vermont town, well off the interstate, can sit unclaimed for days. We are the carrier, so your driver is assigned the day you book.
