Great experience! It was very personalized and attentive. I had an emergency move and they managed to pick up the car just the next day after booking.
We had to send the car back to the dealership in Georgia and Sequoia did a really great job for us. Highly recommended!!!
Really nice company, the whole process was fast and easy peasy.

North Dakota’s cities sit a long way apart. Fargo and Grand Forks face Minnesota across the Red River, Bismarck is on the Missouri in the middle of the state, and Minot, Williston and Dickinson are out to the north and west. Between them is open, nearly treeless country with little to slow the wind, which for most of the year changes nothing about a shipment. Once winter comes, it is the reason the state shuts its interstates.
North Dakota shuts I-94 and I-29 outright in bad winter storms, several times in most winters, anywhere from October to April.
Wind does most of the damage. Snow the plows have just pushed aside blows straight back across the road, and the higher the banks beside it grow, the worse it gets. When visibility goes, the state closes the road to everyone, trucks included, until the plows have been through again. A car carrier caught behind a closure waits where it is, and we move a pickup or delivery along that stretch with it.
How often depends on the winter. In a hard one like 2022-23, I-94 was shut somewhere along its length on about 20 days, and some winters pass with hardly any closures at all. A closure can last a day or more. The April 2023 blizzard kept both interstates shut for nearly two days, and once it passed the plows spent half a day cutting through drifts twelve feet high between Valley City and Jamestown before I-94 opened again.

Your out-of-state plates cover the car in North Dakota only while you are not a resident, and anyone who lives and works in the state counts as one from the start. Without a job here, residency begins after 90 days in a row in the state. A student at a North Dakota college or university keeps the home plates.
Every shipment is insured by the carrier under federal cargo liability requirements.
Open transport is the standard choice for most vehicles. Enclosed transport costs 40 to 70% more and is appropriate for high-value vehicles, classics, low-clearance sports cars, and any car where weather exposure or road debris is a real concern.
The deposit is charged 7 days before your pickup window opens; for a pickup inside 7 days it is held on your card at booking and charged when your driver is confirmed. The remaining balance is paid to the driver at delivery.
You can cancel for free up to 7 days before pickup. After that, the deposit is non-refundable.
The truck waits until the road is safe to drive, and your pickup or delivery date moves with it. We'll confirm the driver's new window with you as soon as the road reopens. Snow on the mountain passes and in the northern states, and hurricanes along the Gulf and Atlantic coasts, are the usual causes.
