When looking to ship your vehicle it is important you work with a company experienced in successfully owning trucks. The person offering services must also provide value to the trucker much more than phone sales. That comes from hands on trucking experience. Things must make sense (Ex. “Only a Car Hauler understands Car Hauling / Auto Transport.”) Talking to telemarketers about car hauling is asking a CNA for advice on surgery. The biggest advertising companies in Auto Transport know very little about trucking, hence why most people must book 2 or 3 companies to get their vehicle moved. Telemarketers know nothing about trucking. But the fact of the matter is most consumers just want to find an auto shipping company who is affordable and honest.
This is how Auto Express differentiates itself from would-be “transport” companies. We prioritize our customers above all else, ensuring we deliver accurate, efficient, and consumer-friendly services every time.
Auto Express Inc. is created by a Master Car Hauler with over 25 years on the road. We are dedicated to giving an honest enclosed auto transport solution. We are in the service business., Bad experiences for you affect us (the best car haulers in the country) the most. It’s our commitment to professionalism that we stand behind.
Imagine going to a Home Depot Parking lot to find illegitimate workers to remodel your kitchen
or bathroom. Most people wouldn’t hire a professional in that manner. In some instances, some work with the guys bunched up in a Home Depot parking lot but you recognize there is great risk. Why? Though they say they can do the job, there is no assurance or protection.
That is the equivalent of transporting your vehicle with a telemarketing agency claiming to be a trucking company. Once your vehicle is on the truck it belongs to the trucker until his contract is executed or paid in full (like towing), and that is where the telemarketers slam you with unsuspecting fees.
If you don’t like it and leave a negative review, it costs them $100 for 30 fake reviews. That is why you must look at reviews in detail and cannot trust a 4.5 rating anymore. Telemarketing Agencies have bonds but that does not mean they are not into trucking. That means they can post on the load board. These car shipping companies are into sales, and they fish for commissions, hoping to give your vehicles to desperate drivers to line their pockets, while offering the least support and protection. If they don’t make a sale with you, then they sell your information to other companies. Often these companies have no idea what the roads in the country look like or if they can execute on what they promise. The tell-tale sign is that they cannot take an upfront payment to commit to a transport. They must post on the load board to hopefully find a driver.
This is not the case with Auto Express Inc., and this is not how we want car shipping companies represented. For that reason, we created a company from a Car Haulers perspective, for the general customer to have an honest experience. We are the ones that must meet you and have hands-on solutions.
Having trucking pictures doesn’t mean a company is familiar with trucking. They can post your vehicle on the load boards for a commission but unless they are Master Car Haulers, they do not know the technical requirements each maker requires for their cars to be protected in transport. Saving your vehicle from mechanical wear or damage in transport. It is much more than just putting a vehicle on a truck. There is no way for a telemarketing agency to know what Car Makers require or how to properly insurance your vehicle without owning trucks. A telemarketer in Florida has no idea the complexity of driving through mountains safely. Every company that owns trucks shows you their trucks, not fake or stolen internet images. Everything done in trucking professionally is technical, measured, accounted for, and insured. There is no way to insurance transport based on zip codes. Your insurance company doesn’t insurance your vehicle by your zip code alone and that is not how trucking insurance handled. That is partially why we require a full quote form, to provide the best service.

In the world of Auto Transport and Car Shipping, there are two main sources for reviews that are not manipulated. Though imperfect, but attempting to combat fake reviews: Google and The Better Business Bureau try to stop fake reviews and avoid review manipulation. These platforms are familiar with scams in the Auto Transport industry, serving as valuable resources for consumers who fall victim to scams. They possess knowledge of the law and aim to protect consumers without bias. Still, many telemarketing companies buy reviews for $5 each for BBB and Google. For that reason, you must judge companies on their in-depth reviews and their negative reviews.
However, due to the prevalence of fraudulent reviews and agencies that sell fake reviews, the verification process becomes tedious. Scam companies often bet that customers won’t take the time to complain. They depend on you being desperate to have their vehicle delivered. In the rare event of leaving a negative review, these companies counteract by purchasing additional positive reviews, creating a cycle of misleading information.

Auto Express Inc. is a Brokerage (it is Federal Law), Owned by a Trucking Company & Master Car Hauler. Our aim is to educate the public as the educated consumer is the best customer.
All too often the business model of Car Shipping / Vehicle Transport comes down to price. Many companies are all often willing to employ aggressive Used Car Salesman tactics to make up for lack of trucking knowledge. Trucking is measured and calculated, not phone sales. Brokering, Dispatching or Trucking, it is important to have a successful team of navigators with trucking resources over the road. The best resource is experience.
Therefore, the only people qualified to speak on car shipping are experienced car haulers. The experience of those that have been on the road and those that successfully own trucks for the extended time for the same reason you do not drive in a car with a person who bought a fake license. More than 95% of the people selling Auto Transport have no ties to any trucks, nor do they know any requirements. They lie because the consumer knows little about trucking. This explains why most cars booked by marketing companies portraying to be trucking companies lead to disappointment.
To further confuse things, you used to be able to judge a vehicle transport company based on reviews. Nowadays most 4.5-star companies are 1-star companies that bought 30 reviews for $100. They know most consumers are impulsive and emotional, so they prey on that. If you talk to our Car Hauling professionals, ask questions, you will notice the difference in the answers. Impulsive decision making can be very costly in this business because the sales companies do advertise protection, but their bad reviews tell you that they do not. It is all false marketing because there is no recourse.
As the most respected Car Haulers in the industry, that take care of our families based on the service we provide hands on, we cannot operate in that manner. We do things the right way. We offer full protection. We always answer the phone. You can drop your car immediately. We can guarantee pickup in 24-48 excluding holidays and weekends in every major city in the USA. We do not have to search for trucks. Our trucking routes have been established for over 25 years, just like how you follow the same route to work most days. When a truck breaks down, another truck is nearby to finish the mission. That is why our reviews over 20 years look so different with no fluff, fake, or bought reviews. Over 500,000 cars moved. Until recently we were word of mouth. 14 years we put up a website but were managing trucks and that was and is the priority. It is important the consumer knows that they can reach the Car Hauler that does things the right way. CDL Licensed, Bonded, Fully Insured, & Accredited. No cutting corners. It does not work. Our family has provided exceptional, dedicated, quality transport for service in Auto Transport, Trucking not Phone Sales for over 40 years. Our service, resources, and commitment to providing an exceptional experience shipping cannot and will not be matched by anyone because we know they do not care as much as we do. To them it is sales and money. To us, it is Character, Integrity, and Service. We know that the 3 things that bring money have nothing to do with sales or money. We believe this is why we are successful at Vehicle Shipping.
The Advertised Rule is: When hiring a moving company or car shipping company, ‘Work Directly with the Truckers.’ That is bad information. We say that as Car Haulers’ with over 40 years’ experience. That statement was created by bad telemarketers and undereducated drivers. Nothing could be further from the truth, but do you have the time to research and challenge? Not likely. That is why the public is preyed on. The Accurate Statement Would Be: It is very important to work with Trucking Companies that also own a Brokerage, that are Bonded & Additionally Insured. It is the Only way to be Properly Insured in Transport.
Auto Express wants you to know, the fast sale is a dangerous sale. We are going to try to provide you with some context of things you need to know about Auto Transport / Car Shipping & Vehicle Transport, in as few sentences as possible
The Broker is responsible for your Protection. A truck driver is responsible for making sure his truck is safe for those he is on the road with. Insurance must be ADDED to your vehicle, for it to be properly insured while in Transport. If that is not discussed, there is no Coverage in Transport regardless of what you are SOLD. If you only ask for price and it is quoted over the phone, based on Zip Codes, we can Guarantee you that there is no Insurance for your vehicle in Transport. A truck driver is not legally liable to have insurance on your vehicle. A truck driver is legally liable to have insurance on his truck to protect the other cars he is on the road with. It is a Choice of the Driver to ensure your vehicle unless the Broker followed exclusive responsibilities and procedures.
Vehicle Transport is not based on Cheap Price, no different than fixing your teeth, hair, car, or working on your home. Price is supposed to be based on Quality of Service. All Transporters are not equal. Many drivers are from a Home Depot parking lot and have bought their CDL license illegally. ‘The Cream of the Crop’ are guys are Licensed, Insured, and Bonded. Auto Express Inc. in this regard are CDL Licensed, Experienced Master Car Haulers, Bonded, Accredited and Fully Insured.
How to Understand ‘The Cost of Shipping a Car’? People use Auto Transport Companies for Protection. The cheap price is you driving your vehicle. It costs a Driver about $2-$400 a day to ship a vehicle that is under 3,500lbs – roughly $300 a day though there are many variables. Variables include, age, condition, liability to name a few. As the weight and dimensions increase, so the price is affected. Anything paid above $300 a day is supposed to be for Quality of Service.
If you make less than $150 a day, the cheapest option is driving your car but there is Risk Associated. You put wear and tear on your car and your body and risk of significant damage as cost can spiral out of control in an emergency. With your Car on a Truck with Caring Professionals, you get Protection, Peace of Mind, Efficiency, and Professionalism.
A Bad Broker sells the Bond as insurance on your vehicle, and it is most certainly NOT insurance for your vehicle. For this reason, you will read an advertisement of a company saying “Licensed, Insured, & Bonded” but it will not cover what you think. Doing business with a Broker you are supposed under his Bond for Protection but most companies knowing they are not on the Trucking Side avoid liability by advertising under many different names and giving paperwork under a Marketing Company providing NO Protection. That is why those that you do business with must Advertise, Paperwork, and Payment Under 1 Name. If not, there is no Protection.
The Federal Government puts the responsibility on the Consumer to verify the MC# of those who they do business with has an active Bond and does business the Right Way. You must Google Search the MC# of anyone giving you a Quote. That is your Responsibility by Law. Brokers, like Real Estate Agents and Car Brokers are Liable. Working directly with a Carrier, means you the Consumer are the Employee and Liable.
The Broker is responsible for Communication. The Broker is also supposed to work around your schedule and arrange for the driver to meet you at a time that doesn’t cause you any loss or disadvantage. He is to be available anytime to answer your call getting you up to date information.
The Broker is responsible for making sure the Driver is qualified, responsible, and supported. This means avoiding storms, bad traffic, finding resources like repair shops and hotels when needed, even providing discounts. When drivers don’t get this support, they feel cheated. Why are you paying a Broker to just post your vehicle on the load board for a Commission when the driver is doing all the work? This is where all the discontent in the industry comes from.
The Consumer will ask, “I don’t understand why the quotes vary so much?”
The Answer: People that can’t afford risk don’t travel on Dollar Cabs. Some choose an Uber to feel safer. Others use Transport Companies with extended comfort and service. It is important you verify if your standard Insurance company has insurance on your car in transport if you are not using Auto Express Inc. Those who can’t afford to lose know, trust Auto Express Inc. Our Trucking Experience, Our Trucks, Our Process, Accountability, Communication, Resources, Professionalism and Ability to Execute Far Exceeds our competition.

Many people seek the cheapest car shipping quote, hoping for a fairy-tale deal. Sadly, naivety often leads to post-bill shock. As a seasoned car hauler with over 20 years of experience, it’s crucial to be aware of the pitfalls when shopping for car shipping & vehicle transport quotes. Many businesses posing as trucking companies are actually telemarketing and digital marketing agencies, employing tactics that prey on the uninformed. Despite claims of vast fleets, 99% of those offering quotes have never worked hands-on with a car hauler. Recognizing these traps is vital to avoid falling victim to scams.
Telemarketers often Promise No Upfront Charges, sounding too good to be true. The reality unfolds when your moving date approaches, or when your car is on the truck, and you discover hidden fees. They get you hooked with the idea of receiving a super low quote and doing you a big favor. As your moving date approaches and your anxiety rises, they prey on you raising prices and in your panic, force a higher price on you adding their commissions. Unfortunately, this deceptive cycle repeats daily, particularly in the scam hotspot – the state of Florida. Telemarketers play on desperation, offering unrealistically low quotes that skyrocket later.
Auto Express Inc., a reputable trucking company, emphasizes the importance of understanding the industry’s complexities. Legitimate transport involves five key elements: a Fair Price, Comprehensive Protection, Transparency/Communication, Accountability, and Professionalism. Not all companies claiming to be trucking companies genuinely transport vehicles. Telemarketing firms may have bonds, but their connection to actual trucking is often minimal.
It’s crucial to differentiate between genuine trucking companies and those using telemarketing tactics. Auto Express Inc. advocates for thorough research, emphasizing the significance of a bonded brokerage and a proven, experienced, reputable trucking company. Despite industry challenges and deceptive practices, our company stands as a reliable and experienced player committed to excellence in auto transport. As a consumer, exercising caution, understanding industry standards, and choosing professionals over the cheapest quote can make all the difference in ensuring a smooth vehicle shipping experience.
When requesting an auto transport quote, research whether a company has everything covered with these four must-haves:
1. The Broker MUST have an Active Bond listed for Public Record by his Federal MC/ Motor Carrier Number .
The most necessary part of Protection is the bond. The Bond is a liability clause. It says, “Should the driver get into an accident, the hired truck liability is absorbed by ‘The Bond and his Broker.’
This is why most Car Makers, Rental Companies, Dealers etc. hire a Broker to move their cars. This way they are not liable for damage caused by their hired truck in a worst-case scenario. This means if no bond or you hire the truck directly, you are his Employer and Liable.
2. Your hired Broker is not only supposed to have you under his Bond but add your vehicle to the Trucks Cargo Insurance and ensure the Cargo Insurance is enough to cover the Entire Load. It is your Brokers responsibility to make sure your vehicle is on a truck with enough coverage to cover the entire load. The minimum Cargo Insurance is $75,000. If you have a vehicle worth $100k with 8 other cars on a truck – needless to say, your vehicle not properly covered. This is why just asking for a quick quote over the phone is such a bad idea. Most companies that do throw out quotes as phone sales do not follow any protection procedures. It is all luck and optimism. Cheapest Price has cost many a great deal.
3. Your Hired Broker is supposed to add you to his company’s Contingent Cargo Insurance (this supplements the trucks insurance deductible). All Commercial Vehicles have large Deductibles. Contingent Cargo is the Gap insurance between the Trucks Deductible which usually varies from $2,500-$10,000. Nearly 99% Brokers advertise they have insurance. This is lie and “marketing.” Most only have a Bond. They advertise additional Insurance to sound ethical. A bond is not protection for your vehicle. Truckers can refuse coverage on your vehicle.
4. Your broker is supposed to have Incidental Insurance as Truckers sometimes use fake insurance companies and certificates. Quality companies not only are Accountable but have the Resources in place. Winners can’t afford to lose. It is the responsibility of the Broker to cover your car fully regardless of the Trucking Company he hires. The Federal Government holds you the Consumer responsible for hiring the correct company. Choose a Car Shipping Company is like choosing a lawyer, dentist, contractor, mechanic or doctor. Choose those that do the right thing.
