The Oaks Auto Transport

Door-to-door vehicle shipping into and out of The Oaks in Sarasota, handled by an owner-operated Florida broker.

Shipping a vehicle to The Oaks

The Oaks is a gated community in Sarasota, Sarasota County. Manned or coded gate. We register the carrier in advance where the association requires it, and stage the truck on the nearest arterial road when the interior streets cannot take a 75-foot rig.

Tell us the address and the gate you use. We give the association the carrier name, driver name and truck description ahead of time, confirm the arrival window with you, and keep the same point of contact from dispatch through delivery.

Do you handle the gate paperwork?
Yes. We provide the carrier and driver details the association asks for, and we confirm the arrival window so security is expecting the truck.
