Auto transport is a commercial industry where broker companies act as intermediaries between car owners and trucking companies. The process involves loading cars onto trucks, which then transport them to their destinations.

Companies often quote close approximations of prices, not final prices. This can lead to surprises when the final cost is charged to the shipper's credit card.

Some companies offer zero-down shipping, which sounds attractive but can lead to customers being charged more than the initial quote when the car is picked up.

Trucking companies have control over the outcome of a shipment, and brokers or companies offering zero-down shipping do not have the power to control the price.

This happens every year so right now you're going to pay like 30 percent higher rates to move cars from the Northeast to Florida, okay understand that that it's trucks that decide it's the market plus the trucks that decide what you're going to pay and you have to be in that right pricing range to actually get it moved.

only about 30 percent of loads that are ever sitting on any route are actually going to get moved going to get moved because there's probably about five times as many cars that need to be moved as there are trucks to move so it creates this imbalance where there's all these low paying loads sitting on the blood board

if somebody hires us it's not just about how fast we move it we also have to filter out bad companies from good companies so if a bad company or a company with very bad marks not a very big history is trying to move a load for us and your in your car is like a 2022 Dodge Ram TRX or 2022 jaguar or something

be a little flexible with the trucks okay when they come to pick up the vehicle it all how close they can get to your residence on pickup or drop off this all depends largely on your particular neighborhood so if you live in a tightly congested downtown area on a one-way Street I mean come on an 80-foot semi is very unlikely to drop your car off right in front of your house

you can call that Trucking Company some of them try to hide the trucking company info also which is what you name but you can get a hold of that Trucking Company dispatcher or driver and verify that the rate for this load that they owed that truck on delivery is the same that the broker is telling you
