Can I put things in my car?
The way it works is that trucking companies that only use giant, 10-car carriers aren’t licensed to transport household goods because there’s no place to put it! The difference, however, is the enclosed transport service that many companies offer. If you’re looking to transport some boxes along with your car, companies that use enclosed trailers and trucks are licensed to do that. But don’t pack your car full of boxes if it’s going onto a giant, open truck, because that’s illegal.
The gray area is the trunk. Most car transport companies allow you to have up to 100 pounds in the trunk only. This means blankets, pillows, maybe some clothes...loose stuff. By putting miscellaneous junk in your trunk, so to speak, you’re not transporting “household goods” but rather just some “stuff” that happens to be in your trunk. This can change, however, if you decide you’d like your stereo to stay in the trunk, because this can be seen as household goods. So no electronics at all in the car, and you can never have anything in the cab. Loose change and some candy wrappers are okay, but nothing big.

Car TransporterAn car transporter is a person or company that actually transports cars. Typically car transporters drive open ten car carriers (like the ones you see taking new cars to dealerships), but there are other kinds as well. For instance, some car transporters only drive three car trailers – these are great for short trips in-state; others drive huge semi trucks with trailers that transport expensive sports cars or classic cars enclosed. There are many different types of car transporters on the road today, so you should be able to find the car transporter that you are looking for.

Oh, you mean my pilot's license? That's out back in the Cessna. Or perhaps you're referring to my license to kill. Revoked. Trouble at the Kazakhstan border. I could give you the details but then I'd have to kill you, which I can't do because my license to kill has been revoked.
