Fits

Customers who'd rather pay everything by card than hand cash to a driver — J&S runs 14 trucks of its own and brokers the rest.

Not ideal for

Anyone who wants to pay the driver in cash or by check — J&S takes neither.

Worth knowing

• Whether a J&S truck or a subcontracted carrier hauls your car decides whose insurance covers a claim.
• A declined card at pickup adds a $20 reprocessing fee.

Ask before booking

Whether your car will ride on a J&S truck or a subcontracted carrier.
