Snowbird Season: Shipping Between Florida and the Northwest Without the Rush Premium

Florida lanes fill fast from October. Book the window, not the week, and your car rides the same truck for less.

Every fall, thousands of cars make the same trip: out of the Northwest, down to Florida, ahead of the cold. Every spring they come back. If your car is one of them, you are bidding against that entire migration for the same trailer decks.

Book the window, not the week

Flexibility is the cheapest upgrade in car shipping. Give dispatch a window instead of a single day and your car slots into a truck that is already rolling your way — same carrier, same insurance, better price.

North in spring, south in fall

Capacity follows the birds. If your dates can lean a week earlier than the rush, take it. And reserve while the quote is live — snowbird lanes are where quotes expire fastest, for the honest reason that the trucks genuinely fill.

Data Sharing Agreement

proautohaul.com ↔ Dispatch A Car platform · Professional Auto Haulers · Plain-language version

1. What this agreement covers

This website (proautohaul.com) is operated by Professional Auto Haulers — displaying the Pro Auto Carriers brand — and is connected to the Dispatch A Car platform, where Professional Auto Haulers manages quotes, orders, dispatch, customer messages, and shipment tracking. This agreement explains what information moves between the website and the platform, why, and how it is kept separate from every other company on the platform.

2. What information is shared — and why

3. What is never shared

Your information is never sold. It is not shared with other transport companies for marketing, and it is not used for any purpose other than running your shipment and the service you asked for.

4. Tenant separation — our data stays separate

Dispatch A Car is a shared platform used by multiple transport companies. Each company works inside its own private tenant space. Professional Auto Haulers’ customers, orders, and messages are stored in the Professional Auto Haulers space only: no other company on the platform can see, search, export, or contact them, and our team cannot see theirs. Platform-level staff access for support and billing is limited to what operating the platform requires.

5. How long it is kept

Order and message records are kept for as long as needed to complete your shipment, handle follow-up service, and meet legal and accounting requirements. Tracking lookups on this site require your order number plus your phone digits, so status is never public by link alone.

6. Your rights — access, correction, deletion

You may ask us at any time what information we hold about you, to correct it, or to delete it (subject to records we must keep by law). Contact us at dispatch@proautohaul.com or (877) 356-4285, Mon–Fri 9:00am–5:00pm, and the agent responsible for your order will handle the request.

7. Changes

If this arrangement changes, the updated agreement will be posted on this page before it takes effect.
