Auto Transport Broker o Carrier - Part 2
In the last post I discussed the differences between a transport broker and carrier. As posted in the last article they both have advantages and disadvantages to help you ship your car. The major differences are that carriers actually own their own trucks and brokers do not. Auto transport brokers have a network of "trucks" they use.
There are few things to consider and depending on your needs one may better suit you. While a carrier has there own trucks and may have more control of the process brokers have more choices.
Regardless of which shipping company you choose to move your vehicle, the automobile is always insured under the carriers insurance always. So even if you choose a broker to move your car the vehicles under the carriers respsonsibilty once its picked up.
Bottom line is both have advantages depending on your specific needs and both can get the job done efficiently and reliably. Always get a minimum of 3-5 auto shipping quotes, and always check the status of your chosen transport company including MC numbers, USDOT and Insurances. Always read your contract too!
