Hire a Transportation Company, NOT a broker. You deal directly with a Transportation Company if something happens or an issue arrives.
Brokers put out bids to every Tom, Dick, and Harry that has a trailer or enclosed trailer. Many unscrupulous Brokers will hire out your cargo (car) at a price that is higher than what they tell you. The broker may require a down payment of say $1000. Then, when your cargo (car) arrives, you pay the transporter- and you don't get your car until you pay the price the Broker told the transporting individual. You're held hostage until you pay, and dozens upon dozens of phone calls won't get returned to you by the Broker.
It's tuff to go to Florida when you live in Iowa to extract your pound of flesh. One pays a price for an education, and boy did I pay!
