Pro tip: I used to pay $150 extra per car until I tried a terminal to terminal quote
I moved my sister's Corolla from Phoenix to Denver last spring and the first three companies I called all gave me the same thing, a quote one day and a totally different number the next. One broker said $850 on Tuesday and $1,100 on Friday for the exact same pickup, same dates, same address. A guy at a shop in Mesa told me to stop calling brokers and instead get quotes straight from the terminal in Phoenix that actually loads the trucks. I tried it, and the dispatch office quoted me $690 and locked it in writing that same call. The car sat maybe 40 hours before it was on a hauler, and nobody called me back asking for more money at pickup. Saved my sister almost $400 total, which she spent on new tires. The lesson for me was that the middleman is the one who keeps re-pricing you. Anyone else skip the broker and go straight to the yard? Curious if that works everywhere or if I just got lucky.
