Step 02

We verify the carrier — and the truck at pickup.

The step many brokers skip. We confirm who’s hauling your vehicle from sources the carrier doesn’t control.

SMS to their FMCSA phone We confirm the assigned carrier on the number filed with the FMCSA — not one they hand us.
Insurance from the agent We pull the certificate of insurance straight from the agent of record and check it’s active.
VIN plate + location at pickup At pickup we capture the driver’s location and check the truck’s VIN plate against the carrier’s insured vehicles.

How it works — questions

How fast is the quote?

About a minute. Enter your route and vehicle, add a couple of contact details, and we price it from current carrier market rates for your route and vehicle. Your price is held for 7 days and locked by Price Lock once you sign.

When do I pay?

Nothing upfront. You don’t pay to get a quote or to book. Once a carrier is assigned, we charge a small $150 deposit to your card — it’s part of your total, not an extra fee. The rest is paid at pickup on the same card, or to the driver at delivery (cash, Zelle, Venmo or cashier’s check) if you choose pay on delivery. Your signed price is locked by Price Lock: if the carrier’s rate goes up, we cover up to $200 per vehicle.

How do I get updates on my car?

Call us at (260) 800-6747 or email [email protected] any time — we look up your order by your phone number. Once your car is picked up, we can share the driver’s name and phone number so you can coordinate delivery directly.
