Auto transportation brokers have been destroying the industry, by LOW BALLING prices, just to get a NON-refundable credit card deposit, and to let the customer know about 2 weeks later why their car isn't being picked up. If you don't understand, then let me tell you. The brokers are quoting prices which are to low just to get your business. After they get your credit card deposit you think your car is all ready to get picked up. Well guess again. To many brokers try to make $150 to $300 dollars a load they book. Well unfortunatley the truckers aren't moving the car for $150 to $300 less than you were quoted. Then the broker tells you that due to some changes in the industry the rates have climbed, which they did, due to fuel prices and insurance prices, which now it will cost you about 200 more to move your car. Now your stuck, what do you do.. The non refundable deposit has been given and the original price they quoted you isn't going to happen. Now you go and call the trucking company direct just to find out you were scammed by the broker and you have to pay the full rate to get the car moved. It's out of control. Your now pissed off at the broker and don't want to do business with the broker anymore. Well guess what, you just lost your deposit, your time, and your car is still sitting at your place. In the end, the actual trucking company will give you a price, piss you off as well, because its about 200 dollars more than the broker gave you and I can assure you, it's the right price comming from the trucker and your out the credit card deposit. Do yourself a favor, Call the Truckers not the brokers, they won't let you down.. Good luck out their!!!!
