Where will my hybrid be picked up?
Most hybrid ship companies offer door-to-door service, which means they will come to your house and put the hybrid on the truck in front of you. However, with major cities comes tiny roads, and trucks can’t drive on those small roads. The hybrid ship trucks can be as long as 75 ft long, which makes it virtually impossible to squeeze on a small, two-lane road. If the truck can’t get to your house, generally they will contact you and let you know that you need to meet them in a parking lot or some other place that the truck can fit in.
Also, because of the nature of the United States, many cities prohibit giant trucks from going down minor roads. This is why you never see large 18-wheelers driving past your house. This is generally why you may need to meet the truck in a parking lot or someplace else that the truck can fit in. If they come to your house and there are laws preventing him from doing so, he could get a major fine--then your hybrid will never move! So let the company that you ship your hybrid with if your streets are narrow and the truck can’t get in...they’ll appreciate that.

Hybrid Ship BrokerAn hybrid ship broker is a company that organizes and arranges shippment for hybrids. Typically, an hybrid ship broker handles all the money as well as sets up ship of a hybrid between the customer and the carrier that is chosen. Hybrid ship brokers find out the exact addresses that the hybrid is coming from and going to, as well as handle any transactions that need to take place. They keep in contact with the carrier during the shippment process and keep the customer informed of where the hybrid is and when it will be arriving. Hybrid ship brokers are an incredibly important part of the hybrid shipping industry; they keep the prices fair and prevent price-gouging by carriers because there are so many hybrid ship brokers in the industry. Competition is fierce, which keeps prices as low as they can be. If you’re looking to ship your hybrid, check out some hybrid ship brokers – they’ll help you with anything you need.

Auto Shipper
an auto shipper is a person or company that ships vehicles. this can be either a broker or a carrier, depending on the company, and each has their own way of operating. a broker is an auto shipper that arranges transport – from start to finish, they will find a carrier, handle all the paperwork, and take their own broker fee, but they also keep the costs low because they look for carriers instead of shipping it themselves, so the incentive to raise your price is not there. read article...

It's very oxymoronic for people to tell everyone to "mind their own business" and stop "invading their privacy", yet the first thing they do in the morning when they wake up is discuss their personal lives on facebook & twitter.
