Friend is looking to ship a race car from somewhere in California to Toronto Canada. Likely better to ship to Buffalo area and cross over to get it.
Any ideas? |

When you contact transport companies find out if they are a broker or carrier.
Brokers book loads and then find the carrier that will give them the lowest price. The biggest problem with the broker is accountability. The communications between you and the truck actually carrying your car can be problematic. Also if there are damages you can have difficulty collecting on a claim, your contact is with the broker not the carrier. Some brokers might collect the damages and tell you they couldn't collect anything. I don't mean to disparage all brokers, some are very good & honest. However some are just crooks. Also find out if your car will be on the same truck pickup to delivery. Some companies will have trucks meet and swap car between truck. This increases the risk of damage. Just some input from my experience in the trucking business. |
