Is a pickup date guaranteed?
Not usually. Because the industry is route-based, it may take some extra time to get to your rv, especially if you live in the middle of nowhere, away from major freeways. What most rv haulers will do is give you a window for pickup. So, if you want your rv picked up on May 9th, the hauling company will probably give you a window between May 8th and 11th. This also gives the trucking companies a break because things happen and they can fall behind schedule (although this is uncommon). Be wary of companies that guarantee a pickup date, because you could be left holding the bag.

Rv Haulers And Quotes For Hauling Your RvAn rv hauler is a person or company that ships rvs. This can be either a haul broker or a carrier, depending on the company, and each has their own way of operating. A haul broker is an rv hauler that arranges haul – from start to finish, they will find a carrier, handle all the paperwork, and take their own haul broker fee, but they also keep the costs low because they look for carriers instead of hauling it themselves, so the incentive to raise your price is not there. A carrier is an rv hauler that actually moves the rv for a customer. These rv haulers are more common, but most use haul brokers to find and haul rvs. An rv hauler quote is the price that an rv hauler will provide to you to haul your rv. An rv hauler quote can come from two different types of rv haulers – either a haul broker or a carrier. A haul broker will give you a quote based on the price that carriers are giving out for the route your haul will be taking as well as their own fee; a carrier will give a quote simply based on the route that you are hauling on. However, some carriers like to charge more, which is why utilizing an rv hauling haul brokerage tends to be less stressful as the price tends to stay the same.
Trucking Companies Vs Auto Transport Brokers
I have been seeing a lot of emphatic comments on the internet lately, relating to this subject. I am an auto transport broker and I cringe whenever I see "don't ever use a broker! " plastered all over some carrier's (/broker's) website. I can see the appeal of wanting to bypass the broker fee by contacting the carrier directly. For a lot of people the bottom line is all that matters. I realize that economic times are tough and most of the people I speak with daily are interested in getting the best price possible. I would like to point out a few things to the customer looking to deal directly with the drivers as opposed to paying a freight broker. read article...
I said I would stop writing about this. I lied.
it seems all the news of these past couple of weeks has revolved around the “newly re-coined” cash for clunkers program that was implemented last monday. now on this blog, we have followed the progress of this program from its inception in congress, but have really been unable to speak of its potential effectiveness. on one side, this program is going to cost taxpayers quite a bit of money, but our government has been insisting that this incentive will aid the weak auto industry during this tough economic time. read article...
