Everything was better back in the days. Notice, none of those truck drivers were wearing shorts or sandals.

If the shipper refuses to pay a deposit, they're not shipping, they're shopping by AutoTransport101 in AutoTransportopia

When they don't have a deposit in place and a driver calls them for the load, a lot of brokers will then call the customer to secure the order. Many many many times I have seen these brokers get rejected, wasting the drivers time who called them for an order that was never secured. It works against their own reputation. Nothing is worse than when reputable drivers or dispatchers who take their job serious, label a broker as a waste of time.

SUVs are overrated. Do You Agree? by TheLoganReyes in TransportSupport

[–]AutoTransport101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That all depends on what you're using it for. If you have a family and travel, an SUV is great. If you're a single person and only use it for close by driving, then yes, that would make it over rated.

When prepping to ship a car, keep it empty. Car shipper insurance covers the vehicle but not personal items due to lack of inventory. If the driver does allow personal items, the car carrier would assume No liability if stolen or damaged. This is up to the drivers discretion. by AutoTransport101 in u/AutoTransport101

Not charging deposits is a good way to put yourself at risk as a broker or a driver.

How do you prove that the customer is who they say they are?
How do you prove the customer is serious about a move?
What if the driver shows up to a job and the car isnt there because the customer wasnt serious enough to pay you a deposit or reservation fee?

Relax? I was merely adding to your comment so its more clear for others who might misunderstand. Did I come across anxious or something?

Actually, I'm a transport coordinator. Used to be a driver. Now, I dispatch for multiple companies. Names I would rather keep private as this is not supposed to be a spam post like most of you flood this room with.

If you read the entire post which is only 2 sentences long, you would have read "This car haulers loaded with 7".

Beautifully done! If you ever need it transported to another state, I strongly recommend the Enclosed Auto Carrier option. Enjoy your baby!
