The First Available Pick-up Date (FAD) is the earliest date your vehicle is ready to be picked up. It marks the start of the pick-up window, but it's not necessarily the exact pick-up date. Depending on truck availability, your vehicle may be loaded on the FAD or within a typical pick-up window of 1 to 5 business days from that date. It's important to provide an accurate FAD when booking to ensure smooth coordination of the car transport.
