Before shipping I talked to a lot of shipping brokers. Found most shipping companies are just that brokers for the free lance trucks like on Shipping Wars. I was going to use U Ship It where you can save a little money by being your own broker, but learned the advantage of having a broker is the insurance of having someone go to bat for you if there is damage. Ended up very happy with both the broker and the shipper.

On the flip side, the guy that bought my Black 951 found the cheapest shipper he could. The car hauler that showed up was a real piece of junk and the driver was a mexican that spoke zero english. He damaged the air dam, front clip and running lights just trying to get the car on the hauler. Good thing I took before pictures.

There were other language problems too. The car would run, but had a damaged head gasket so could only run short periods to keep from over heating. Just long enough to pull up on the truck. The driver kept trying to leave the car idling, instead of killing it and restarting to jockeying with the hauler ramps.

One of the reasons I am attempting to try to learn Spanish. So I can at least have a shot at communicating with the laborers.
