If you’ve just started doing research on shipping a car you’re going to see there are several options for you to pick from. It can be pretty hard to tell if you’re dealing with a Broker, a referral service it doesn’t even ship cars, or maybe a moving company that doesn’t specialize in shipping cars and does it as an add-on service. There are some that do not want to deal with the broker at all, worried about the results.

Is not dealing with a broker more convenient?

Whether or not it’s more convenient to not deal with the broker can vary on the type of Auto shipping you’re looking for.

For example if it’s simply a move across the state to where you’re just looking for a local transporter to do it, then using a broker company might not benefit you any more then going direct with a carrier company. Truly because there are a lot of transporters that just work with in their own state and don’t leave.

If you were going to another state especially across the country that’s a whole different ballgame. In this case it’s definitely my not be more convenient at all to go with the carrier. Why? Carriers have predetermined routes. To go and call various companies showing up in your local listings and see even you find one that leaves the state will probably be a little more difficult then simply dealing with a broker that has access to that.

We can sometimes imagine that there is some huge company out there that moves cars everywhere but realistically there’s not. What you’re looking at is individual truckers that run a small business. That is 99% of the entire industry. There are others that are above. By which they handle the area and route That is their specialty and then subcontract

Additionally, truckers like don’t like to be salespeople. They run their truck. They aren’t web markerters, or advertisers. They drive for a living. That’s where the symbiotic relationship exist that works and has worked for several years.

Is There Anything wrong with Using Brokers?

It’s natural to want to cut the middleman. It can seem like all there is to be done by the broker is to make the connection between you and the carrier/driver that’s going to move your car. Why should they get the business? And it can also lead you to wonder of the carrier they are selecting is working for your best interest and not theirs.

That’s where taking the steps to verify reputation come in. They have access to the trucks, and the next step is to review their standing to make sure they will do the best job they can for you.
