I've been through this before. There's a couple of issues at play here. The broker pulls a number out of their ass based on some arbitrary formula and then hopes they can find a guy with a rig who is willing to do the job for that, minus the broker's commission, of course. If nobody wants to do it, your job will languish, all the while they will tell you the guy will be there next week to pick up the car. Secondly, if you're a bit off the beaten path, it will be harder to find a jobber. The "New Hampshire to Texas" bit isn't as important as where in New Hampshire and where in Texas.

I had a VW bus shipped from ABQ to Sacramento, and it took 3 months and 3 different borkers [sic] to get someone to take on the job.
