Figured out I was way overpaying for shipping quotes, and the fix was almost embarrassing
Been shipping cars from auctions to my lot in Tulsa for about two years, and I always just called the first broker who picked up because I figured the prices were all within $50 of each other. Last Tuesday I had three quotes sitting in my inbox for the same F-150 from Dallas and the spread was $340, which is when it hit me that I was basically throwing money away by not shopping around even a little. I started pasting the route into a couple of those instant quote sites and calling the cheapest one to verify, and it turned out the guy I had been using was on the high end the entire time. First load with the new broker ran $275 less and picked up a day sooner. Anyone else got a broker they actually trust for regular runs, or do you switch every time to keep them honest?

Funny how we overpay for stuff we never question just cause it's routine, lol.
