Distinguish hauling a vehicle from driving it to delivery
The Port of Baltimore handles roll-on/roll-off machinery, automobiles and light trucks, according to Maryland Port Administration. Maryland Port Administration.
For a Baltimore-area vehicle movement, identify whether cars travel as cargo on a transporter or a delivered vehicle is driven as part of the shipment. Bring the actual power unit and carrier arrangement. Those differences affect the questions to resolve before choosing equipment or a recording method.
Your Baltimore evaluation worksheet
