Of course your car may be shipped away and delivered using a truck without a trailer, but this only means that it will be unloaded in the nearest bases and loaded on one of the trailers pulled by a road tractor.

Full trailers

A full trailers (a. k. a. A-frame drawbar trailer) is a kind of auto transport trailer supported both by front and rear axles. It is pulled by road tractor by a drawbar. Such trailers are only rarely used in the auto transport industry and even if, they are used only for the long shipments while the local deliveries are done by shorter semi-trailers or by auto-transporting trucks. Their strong points are high load capacity, their major weakness is the low maneuverability, making it very difficult to move along more narrow streets.

Semi-trailers

The most common of all auto transport trailers, semi-trailers have only the rear axles, its front being supported by a road tractor that pulls it. Due to the reduced length and improved maneuverability, this trailer is often used both for long shipments and for actual deliveries, especially in case of express auto transport services when there's only little time to swap the trucks and deliver the car by an in-town truck delivery.
