What is a Car Transport Specialist?
From a customer perspective, this would be someone who knows how to get their car safely transported from point A to point B on a carrier that is properly insured and licensed. A Car Transport Specialist will know which carriers are better than others, will have a plan B if plan A falls through, and will explain all the options to the customer, properly matching cost and time demands to best meet their needs. An experienced Motor Carrier Broker is the specialist needed to make your car transport go smoothly.
Why use a Motor Carrier Broker?
Auto Transport Brokers have the entire trucking community at their fingertips and are not reliant on just one company. Over time, they can develop a list of high-quality carriers that have performed well and, conversely, a list of carriers to avoid. They can offer comparable pricing (as most carriers offer broker discounts so there is not likely any higher cost for using a broker). Even if the cost is slightly higher than finding a trucking company directly, you are at risk if that company fails to perform. They most likely will not have a plan B option since they can only use the trucks they have, severely delaying the transportation of a car. You also have to trust that the car transport company is honest when they say they are licensed and insured. A broker, on the other hand, knows how to formally verify license and insurance information, thereby reducing these risk areas. You do not want to be uncertain whether your auto transport is being done legally or if there will be insurance coverage if your vehicle is damaged by the carrier.
What type of Motor Carrier Broker should you select?
You want to select a Motor Carrier Broker that is licensed and bonded, is part of the Better Business Bureau, has several years experience, and is committed to running a business with integrity. A broker should not demand an upfront deposit, employ bait and switch tactics, or charge your credit card until a carrier is assigned for pickup of a vehicle. You should work with a broker who can informatively answer all your questions and who is truly concerned about the specific needs of your auto transport request. Unfortunately, this field is filled with people who care about money more than the customer. Please educate yourself about the choices available to you and select a Motor Carrier Broker who you feel is being honest with you and has your best interest in mind.[ Home ] |
