Using Hauling Firms
Brokers & movers- There are two main types of companies you’ll encounter when looking for: brokers and haulers. To put it simply, movers(sometimes called carriers) are the ones who do the physical work of moving the vehicle, including pickup, hauling, and delivery. Brokers, on the other hand, arrange for shipments between customers and carriers, which is an important part of the industry. While some customers may find it preferable to deal directly with the carrier, in many cases, the broker is necessary to find a mover in your area. The practice is common enough in the car business that some companies operate as both a broker and a carrier, taking the shipments that fit with their route schedule and finding other companies to move the vehicles that don’t.
Classic Cars - Most customers who have a classic or collector auto moved prefer the extra care and protection that comes with using an enclosed carrier. Standard hauling typically involves the use of a large, multi-car carrier that is capable of moving several vehicles at once usually between 4 and 12 at a time. While this is a perfectly fine method for moving, multi-car carriers are open, rather than enclosed, leaving the vehicles exposed to road hazards and weather during the process. Road incidents are rare and companies are required to carry cargo insurance to cover any damages, but, understandably, vintage, one-of-a-kind, or high-value cars be hauled with the extra level of discretion and safety that an enclosed carrier provides.

What To Ask - Before making any kind of payment, signing any contract, or agreeing to any services, you should do some research about the companies you’re interested in working with. The easiest way to do this is by using their licensing information to look them up at the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Company Snapshot website. Ask the mover for their USDOT#, MC,#, or MX# and you can easily find information about company performance, safety records, customer complaints, and more. It’s also a good way to see if a company is a carrier, a broker, or both. (Many haulers will list their licensing information on their website.) It’s a good idea to ask for proof of insurance as well when carrying cargo liability insurance is a federal requirement for carriers and it must be included in the price of your shipment.
