Facts About The Auto Transport Industry

All Auto Transport companies are Brokers. According to the Department of Transportation, 98% of truck drivers that physically move your vehicle own and operate 2 or fewer trucks. Truck drivers don’t advertise online, therefore they rely on brokers to fill their trucks with vehicles. All brokers and truck drivers coordinate through the same Central Dispatch board. That being said, our job is to post your vehicle at the most cost effective price to get it picked-up, in the desired time frame you need!

Who’s bidding on who?

When you get a quote from different companies/brokers it may seem they are all competing for your business. But the reality is you are bidding for the trucking companies to move your vehicle.

Auto Transport Example.

On a Popular route (Say FL to CA) there’s usually 25-30 cars waiting to be picked up on the national dispatch list (used by all truckers). They are all priced from high to low. The trucking companies are naturally motivated by money. So if you picked the lowest quote and there’s 24-29 cars all quoted higher on the list, Guess who’s not getting picked up. You’ll be the last to move, or you simply may never get picked up while a dishonest broker promises you the world and takes your money.
