Difference between a ‘carrier’ and a ‘broker’?

Wednesday, July 13th, 2011

DAS is a carrier that owns and operates our own fleet of vehicle transport trucks and manages an elite group of drivers, partner terminals, and partner carriers all of which are required to pass a rigorous selection process and monitoring program.

A broker does not own or operate any trucks or employ any drivers. A broker may partner with carriers but they are motivated to find the cheapest carrier to perform your move. A broker will act as a liaison between you and the actual carrier and will be unlikely to get involved in the event your vehicle was damaged during transport.

Choosing an Auto Transport Service

Saturday, June 25th, 2011

Firstly, you have to do some research work before you select any car transportation company. There are numerous companies out there on internet to offer quality service to their customers. Research will definitely help you to grasp the benefits that a vehicle transport company has to offer. On the other hand you can also get the best auto transport rates and quotes on internet.

Secondly, before you sign up any documents with the company you should read their terms and conditions in prior. It is recommended that you should ensure with car transport company that whether they will be responsible for any damage happen to your car while transporting or not. On the other hand you also make clear with the company that whether they transport vehicles nationwide or they just operate within the city. There are some companies which deal in nationwide auto transport and some deal in within the city which is known as local transporters.

Thirdly, you also have to make clear with the company about the process of transporting your vehicle. Generally the car shipping companies offer you with two options either they will drive your car to your destination or else they will ship your car via truck which will save the extra mileage of your car. There is also one more option, i.e. enclosed auto transport. This option is especially for expensive cars. So make clear how your car will be transported to your destination.
