Check credentials
Look up USDOT and MC numbers on FMCSA. Brokers and carriers must be registered.
Read the contract
Understand deposit, cancellation, and pickup-window terms.
Beware of lowball quotes
An unusually low price often means your car sits waiting for a carrier.
Talk to a person
A local, reachable team makes a difference when plans change.
