You've purchased a vehicle online, heading down south for the winter, moving out of state or sending your child off to college and need to transport your vehicle but don't know where to look? The internet would be a start but what happens when you search for a car shipping company and the results are overwhelming? How would you know which link to click onto showing multiple paid advertisements and an extensive list of companies in your area? Are these companies even located in your area and if they are do they pickup and deliver directly from your doorstep or are you speaking with a broker or carrier direct? The trick to knowing if you've selected a broker online is reviewing the privacy policy which must acknowledge how your information is used and shared with other companies. There is also a website you can review the entity type on https://safer.fmcsa.dot.gov/, click onto company snapshot and enter the company name, MC number or US DOT number which will show carrier or broker. The report will include the current operating status active or inactive along with the detailed licensing and insurance information.
