The Auto Transport Industry

Car shipping is a huge industry. Not only are companies like us competing for your business, customers are actually in competition for available truck space in high volume areas and times of the year. This means we need to be quick and responsive to meet these demands, especially during these times of year. Reputation gives us the edge. Our working history with our network of car carriers, as well as standing with owner-operators all over the country make us your top choice to ship your car. National Express Auto Transport has a network of established carriers and access to thousands of additional owner operators around the United States in good standing with the FMCSA and the DOT. We provide you with the lowest and most accurate pricing possible. Period. No Games. No hidden fees.  A solid solution. 

If you are just starting to look into getting your car transported, you may have begun to notice that it’s not as simple to pick the right company. There’s lots of different prices you might be getting and a lot of talk about what to expect if you pick a transporter that is not qualified. To help you in making your choice, it’s good to know that there are three types of segments in the car shipping business. First we’ll go over brokers. This is the largest segment. This is because the majority of car transporters on the road are run by owner–operators. Each one usually sticks to a specific route or area and specializes in it. A good company will have an established list of these car carriers for any given area. When you contact them for a car shipping rate, they use the prices that the truckers are charging in any given area to any given destination and then get you a price. When you order, they assign the carrier to your car shipping order and dispatch it to them. It is a symbiotic relationship. One does not work without the other. This company doesn’t have any trucks and the driver of the truck does not have any way of generating customers because they they drive for a living. When dealing with the best car shipping company with the best carriers on their side, it will provide the best results for everyone. The second type of company is an actual direct carrier. There are very few of these. For the most part they specifically handle certain areas. Availability is determined by their own schedule and available trucks. This creates an auto shipping bottleneck because a carrier covers a limited area and they may not be arriving or departing from certain locations for some time or go to them at all. Be sure to check out this great post about using carriers not brokers. You may also want to visit this the FMSCA Website for information. The third segment isn’t a vehicle shipping company at all. They are not even licensed. There are known as lead aggregators/providers. They collect information only to resell. Beware of Lead Providers. Read below for more information.

What You Should Know About Lead Aggregators / Providers

These are firms which appear to be an actual auto shipping company, but just exist to just to sell the information you filled out to various transport brokers. Usually to about 10 or up to even 20 at a time making flooding you with calls, emails and even texts.  Since those participating in these programs are well aware that their quote is in competition with possibly 20 others they will provide very low and inaccurate quotes to solicit an order and in some cases charge upfront to help prevent you from trying to go with a competitor. These are where most of the the problems most customers share originate from. including negative talk about the competition and effectively trying to scare customers to book with them. You will notice it will be a different kind of salesperson and quote when it comes right from the source. Unfortunately, in many cases your pick up date will fly by without notice or the price will change. Some will tell you the previous price was an estimate or disclose the increase in the form of hidden fees. National Express does not participate in buying leads. We do not practice those types of sales tactics. Learn what happens when you get a rate from these sites.

What are Seasonal Rates? Are There Better Times to Book a Car Carrier?

You hear a lot about being “in season”. Although very often a marketing technique to quote higher prices, there are parts of the Country that see prices go up and down depending on what time of the year it is.

It is important to remember that truckers set prices. They are the ones on the road and doing the heavy lifting (literally). Our job is to remain educated and up to date with the market rates across the country. That way we effectively give you the right free price quote. As always, that quote is guaranteed.

An easy example of seasonal vehicles are those coming back and forth for the winter and back in the summer between Florida and the north eastern states because of of retirees (often known as snowbirds)  coming up and down every year. They increase demand substantially up and down the eastern seaboard. In other cases you can also think of Florida like the bottom of the funnel or a magnet. If you’re heading in a direction towards the south east as the weather gets colder and the winter months are approaching, expect the price to increase because of the demand. As spring arrives the traffic reverses. This can sometimes affect states as far as California, as after spring time rates to California rates increase as Southeast rates decrease.

As far as other parts of the country go, if the weather is terrible and it’s just a little harder to do things in any part of the country because of it, prices will increase. If you’re hiring us for auto shipping from Maine to Oregon in February expect to pay a higher rate than you would in June.

Increases in fuel prices will definitely affect the cost to ship a car. But just like the airline industry if the price for fuel all the sudden drops and travelers have become accustomed to paying a certain amount and carriers hang onto those rates as long as they can.
