A: Upon completion of a transport, transporters will be rated by our team. Missed deadlines, constant breakdowns and cancellations will render a low score on a 1-5 scale. Low scores will severely limit your ability to ship for us. Conversely, professional, insured transporters will get priority even at a higher price point.

Q: What should I be prepared to handle as a professional transporter?

A: We expect transporters to handle issues such as flat tires, blow outs, missing keys, scheduling with lots (repo lots, impound lots, residences and dealers). Transporter should also carry proper towing equipment including 5th wheel, bumper pull, goose neck attachments and spare tires as required. Fees will be re-imbursed by CrankyApe with a valid receipt and proper documentation. If any question you may call or email for approval. We look to our transporters to get the job done.

Q: Will I need to pay lot fees?

A: From time to time you may need to pay lot fees to get a vehicle released. Those fees will be re-imbursed by CrankyApe and will be communicated prior to recovering the unit.

Q: What if the unit has issues I wasn't aware of?

A: We provide as accurate info as we can. That said, we're dealing with tow lots that do not always have accurate info nor the time to get detailed specs and condition. You may be required to deal with missing keys, flat tires etc. in order to transport the vehicle. While it's not common, be prepared for the worst.
