Objective 2: Having Flexible Time Frames.  This is a big help for the brokers.  By having a flexible time schedule you can allow them to try and price your transport slightly lower that they should in hopes a hauler calls.  This can save you $50 or $100 bucks.  The more time you have on the pick up and delivery side means that hauler is not rushed, no accidents and everything is safe.  It is the absolute worst when the car hauler gets in an accident and your car is stuck on the hauler ofr an extra 3-5 days.  At that point renting a car is the only option and that can add uo fast.  Not a good price at the end of the day now is it?

Objective 3: Doing Your Research.  This can make or break your transport.  By looking up each company on review sites, Googling their company names, checking them out on the Better Business Bureau, etc. will help show you if this company is good and how the customers liked their service.  If you have negative reviews showing for a business those are the ones to read so you can know if it is the companies fault or what the problem is/was.
