Why Choose Us
We own our trucks, we are not a middle man!
When you search for auto transport companies online, almost every result you see is a broker — not an actual carrier. Understanding the difference could save you money, time, and a lot of frustration.
What Is an Auto Transport Broker?
A broker is a middleman. They take your order, post it to a load board (like Central Dispatch), and wait for a carrier to accept it. The broker takes a cut, and the actual shipping is done by a third-party trucking company you've never heard of.
The problems with brokers:
- Low initial quotes that increase once your vehicle is already scheduled
- You don't know who's actually picking up your car until the day before
- Communication gaps between you, the broker, and the carrier
- Hidden fees
- If something goes wrong, you're dealing with two separate companies
What Is a Direct Carrier?
A direct carrier owns and operates their own trucks and employs their own drivers. When you book with a carrier, the same company you spoke with is the one showing up to your door.
At Auto Transport Solutions LLC, we are a direct carrier. We own our own brand new Peterbilt 589 trucks. The person you call is the company shipping your car. Period.
The advantages:
- Transparent, honest pricing with no middleman markup
- Direct communication with your driver
- Accountability — we can't blame a third party if something goes wrong
- Faster response times and flexible scheduling
- You can track your shipment directly
