Thanks for the heads up. Transport is such a slimy business. I only deal directly with driver/owners. Any of these "forwarders" are useless. They put the job up on central dispatch and wait for ANYBODY to take it who says they can haul a car. Since the truck is sub-sub-sub-contracted, nobody seems to have any accountability.

I have cars hauled all the time, some of the forwarders actually do a very good job but you are paying for the convience of using them. Always check the BBB site before sending any money, also not a good idea not to do business wih any one that requires an up front payment before truck arrives. Always pay any deposit with a credit card.

Umm...have you ever been to North Miami? Next time you're in this area, take a drive through there. That will explain everything...

Some brokers want a non-refundable deposit before arranging for transpo, that's usually a sign to run and fast.

I have never prepaid for a truck trasnport, if you were shippng a car that's a different story. I have used brokers with great results adn vouch for a specific company.

FYI, the local (South Florida) news today are talking about Auto Transport America as a company who have failed to ship dozens of cars since they are going out of business but they have reportedly kept an employee to answer the phoe and return any cars or moneys to the owners.

Hope that helps !
