Who’s bidding on who?.
When you get a quote from different companies/brokers it may seem they are all competing for your business. But the reality is you are bidding for the trucking companies to move your car.
Auto Transport Example.
On a Popular route (Say FL to CA) there’s usually 15-20 cars waiting to be picked up on the national dispatch list (used by all truckers). They are all priced from high to low. The trucking companies are naturally motivated by money. So if you picked the lowest quote and there’s 19 cars all quoted higher on the list, Guess who’s not getting picked up. You’ll be the last to move, or you simply may never get picked up while a dishonest broker promises you the world and takes your money.
