Difference Between An Auto Transport Broker And A Carrier
An auto transport broker connects customers with licensed carriers. A broker is like a travel agent for your vehicle, they find the best option based on your schedule, budget, and location. They handle scheduling, pricing, and logistics to ensure a smooth and stress-free shipping process.
A carrier, on the other hand, is the company that owns the truck and is responsible for physically transporting your vehicle from point A to point B.
