I have not transported a car....but many boats over the years.

Now boats get a bit more complicated and expensive with Oversized Load permits etc.

I avoid brokers at ALL COST!

My last experience was through a broker. All looked good and the boat was picked up in Michigan the transport company had a dead head back from Chicago to Florida so saved a little there. Bottom line was driver would not except anything but certified funds. (Broker said check would be fine) I had to run around last min. to take care of the funds. Driver delivered on time.... he told me.."Next time call me direct" I could have saved 500 bucks by avoiding the sleezy broker!
