Carriers and Brokers work together in the auto transport industry in order efficiantly move the vehicles needed to be transported nationwide.

In the car hauling industry, most carrier companies have 1-5 trucks in their fleet, making it impossible to be able to cover all vehicles nationwide or even a small fraction. If a customer decides to go directly via carrier and skip the broker, the pick up of the vehicle might be delayed significantly after a long time of trying to find the driver that would do your route. 

When going through a broker, your shipping agent makes sure a highly rated company is confirmed with an active insurance making sure that the liability of your vehicle while in transport is ensured.

When going through a carrier directly, you are increasing the risk of something happening with your vehicle while the carrier is avoiding responsibility.

Make sure that prior booking via carrier or broker, a thorough research has been performed online.

Always visit TransporReviews, BBB, ScamReport, Yelp and many more.

There are also companies that are both a carrier and a broker, that might be the best option.
