Hi everyone! I’m Joy, and my husband Rob and I run Bumpy Magoo, a vehicle transport and hauling business based in Fort Worth, Texas.
We’re happy to join the community! I wanted to introduce ourselves and share a few things that help keep vehicle pickups moving smoothly:
1. **Have the vehicle details ready.** The VIN, year, make, and model help identify the right vehicle. Mention any modifications or low ground clearance when arranging transport.
2. **Confirm the vehicle’s condition.** Let your transporter know whether it starts, drives, steers, and brakes—and about any known issues that could affect loading.
3. **Check the release requirements.** For auction or dealership pickups, confirm the vehicle is cleared for release and provide any required gate passes, release numbers, or appointment instructions.
4. **Share a contact at each end.** A pickup and delivery contact, working phone numbers, and business hours can prevent unnecessary delays.
5. **Allow time for a condition check.** Photos and a walkaround at pickup and delivery help everyone stay on the same page.
As a small family business, clear communication and taking care of the vehicles entrusted to us matter a lot to Rob and me.
For the dealers here: **What’s the biggest frustration you run into when arranging vehicle transport?** We’d love to hear your perspective.
