Traveler shipping
Ship your car between healthcare travel assignments
Travel nurses and other healthcare travelers move on a schedule set by contracts, not by a typical relocation calendar, and that shapes how a vehicle shipment needs to be planned. Velocity Auto Transport coordinates transport for travelers moving between assignments, using the same brokered carrier network we use for every shipment — this is standard vehicle transport coordination applied to a traveler's schedule, not a separate program or special service.

Service detail
What travel nurse car shipping involves
Assignment start dates that move
Contract start dates can shift by days or weeks with little notice, which makes rigid pickup and delivery appointments harder to rely on. Giving your coordinator a realistic range as early as possible, and updating it if your assignment date changes, helps keep a carrier matched to your actual timeline rather than a date that's already outdated.
Temporary housing with no driveway
Short-term corporate housing, extended-stay hotels and furnished rentals often don't have a private driveway or dedicated parking suited to a large carrier. As with any address a carrier can't easily access, expect the possibility of a nearby meeting point such as a hotel parking lot or a nearby commercial area instead of the specific unit door.
Flexible handoffs between locations
Because travel assignments are temporary, you might be shipping to a location where you won't be establishing long-term ties, and pickup or delivery might need to be handled by someone else if your own schedule (a shift, an orientation day) conflicts. Plan who will be available at each end and communicate that ahead of time.
Shipping between contracts
If you're shipping a vehicle home between assignments rather than to a new one, treat it as its own shipment with its own timeline, the same as any other move. There's no bundled or automatic scheduling between one assignment's shipment and the next — each move is booked separately based on your actual dates.
What this service is, plainly
This is the same vehicle transport coordination Velocity arranges for any customer, described here for travelers because the timing and address situations that come up — shifting start dates, temporary housing, short-notice changes — are common in that line of work. It is not a specialized program, discounted offering or dedicated traveler fleet.
Communicating schedule changes
If your assignment date, housing address or contract length changes after you've requested a quote, let your coordinator know as soon as you know. Updated information earlier in the process makes it easier to keep your shipment matched to a carrier that can actually meet your new timeline.
The brokerage's role for traveler shipments
Velocity coordinates with a carrier based on the details and flexibility you provide, the same as for any shipment. The assigned carrier's driver handles pickup and delivery logistics, including working out access at temporary housing locations that aren't set up for large trucks.

Plan around this
What affects your shipment
Limitations and requirements worth knowing before you book this service.
- Update dates as they change: Contract start dates shift, so keep your coordinator informed of any change as soon as it happens.
- Temporary housing access: Extended-stay housing may need a nearby meeting point rather than direct delivery to the unit.
- Arrange a backup contact: If your shift schedule conflicts with pickup or delivery, arrange for someone else to be present.
- Book each move separately: Shipping to a new assignment and shipping home between contracts are separate bookings.
