What is a broker?
A broker is a company that handles all the hauling information and gets your boat shipped. They deal with trucking companies so you don’t have to, letting you deal with some of the other things that you need to do. What a broker will do is get all the information they need about the boat (pickup/destination, year, make, model, etc) and pass it along to the trucking company. Then, they’ll get all of the trucking company’s information (insurance, etc) and finalize the pickup date for you. For this service they charge a nominal fee. While this may seem like a lot, it is nothing compared to some of the trucking companies. The broker makes sure that you are not being gouged by companies looking to make an extra buck.

Boat Hauler QuoteAn boat hauler quote is a quote given to a customer by an boat hauling company. Typically these quotes are given by boat haul haul brokerages, which are companies that setup haul between customers and carriers. Quotes can be given by haul brokerages, which are the most common types of boat haulers; however, some customers go beyond and can get quotes from different carriers that they find online. An boat hauler quote can vary widely depending on the type of boat hauler (carrier or haul broker); haul brokers keep prices low, while carriers tend to have higher prices because they are reliant on the loads they haul for income.
Stimulus Package Passes
alright, so the stimulus package, straight outta obama’s new-deal-esque plans for reforming the united states, has just passed the house. in case you aren’t familiar with the american legislative process, the bill now is up in the senate, where they will deliberate a bit and vote to pass it or not. if it passes the senate, it goes to president obama, and he’ll either sign it into law or he’ll veto it, but at this juncture he’ll be doing the former as opposed to the latter. read article...

today marks the day that the long discussed cash for guzzlers program finally goes into effect at many dealerships across the nation. now i’ve been discussing this incentive for months now, but i find it a little interesting that the details of this plan have not been expounded upon until this last friday. what you’re about to read may (or quite honestly, may not) shock you. read article...

The real reason that we can't have the Ten Commandments posted in a courthouse is this -- you cannot post 'Thou Shalt Not Steal' 'Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery' and 'Thou Shall Not Lie' in a building full of lawyers, judges and politicians, it creates a hostile work environment.
