As we enter the Holiday season I just want customers to be aware of a few things. When the broker gives you a price off the internet it is usually a low one just in line with other brokers as they all go against each other. They posted it on centraldispatch.com say for 650.00 and […]

As everyone is getting ready to make the trip home this spring a couple of things to keep in mind. The quotes you are getting are mostly from Brokers. All they do is posted in on a board and wait for a carrier to call to take it. Brokers just work on broker fee which […]
The time is getting near as thousands of snowbirds will be heading back up north from Florida. It happens every year tons of cars and not enough carrier to move them. I tell my customer it usually take a little longer to get your car in the spring. This is because the supply of […]

As we head into the snowbird season watch out for the following. It is called a Bait and Switch and this is how it works. Brokers all fight to get customers. They usually buy leads as customers put their information into a website site and you get about 8-10 different brokers calling/e-mailing texting you they […]
As the summer comes to end the snowbirds will be heading south again. The season looks to be very interesting as prices will likely be higher due to the elog that is starting to show after about 8 months. Actually as I write this today August 10th the price have started to climb. I was guessing […]
Dropped off the last of my snowbirds today. The spring season was a crazy one as there was way too many cars for carriers to handle which is good if you are a carrier. With the new ELD elog coming on board in December 2017 it has caused alot of problems for everyone. Brokers are […]
This is a question that you can only answer. Broker- Is the middlemen don’t own trucks just puts the customer and carrier together. Has very little contact with customer after customer books order. During good times they are great but during heavy travel season like snowbirds they can run into trouble. Carrier- Companies usually have between […]
The 2017/2018 wave of snowbird is just about over. I saw alot take place during the last couple of months. The major one was the ELD for truck drivers read below happen Dec 18th A new rule starting Dec 18th 2017 all commerical trucks must have electronic logs which means drivers can only drive 11 hours a day and driver must stop driving. […]
Here is the first week of Nov and the Oct rush of snowbirds is over. Please do not give your credit card number to any broker until the vehicle is picked up. These brokers play the game 24/7 and know how to work customers. If you read the fine print in their contract they can charge a […]
Looks like the snowbird season is here. There is one major problem there is way too many cars and no carriers why? It is called Houston Tx with over 1 million cars that need to be taken away i.e flood damage etc guess what they have to be replaced. Therefore, carriers are all over that […]
It has been a tough fall so far in Florida. The hurricane has caused a lot of problems for everyone. I guess it could have been a lot worse in southwest Florida. A lot of my customer just lost power and minor damage. The hurricane has caused a lot of companies to pull out of […]

In the summer months I run new cars to dealership all through Mass, New Hampshire and Rhode Island. We also run Florida trips during the summer. For customer looking to find someone […]

I started using terminal s a few years ago. It cuts down on time and having people wait until the carrier shows up. Florida is a huge state and it takes awhile to move around. I can get most of my snowbird customer in New England in one day mostly with 2 hours of Worcester, […]

This pass week I received 2 calls looking to price match 2 quotes I gave these customers. First I will not do it just because they got that price doesn’t mean the vehicle will move. I still don’t get why people trust these quotes and the people they are talking to are only salespeople they […]

Yes it is still here. Just after the holidays 2 week in Jan 2015 the number of cars heading to florida was crazy. If you plan on shipping during this week the price went up about 100 dollars. It is very easy supply and demand. Alot more customer and not enough trucks it is simply […]
Yes, the holidays are behind us. Therefore, the number of snowbirds has increase. The number of people looking to move their car south has tripled in the last week. Therefore, more cars means limited space for everyone. what this means is price increase on cars heading south. There has been an increase of 100 dollars […]
I get calls all the time for shipping quotes. Most people just want to hear the price and nothing else. My quotes are giving to be picked up 1-7 days and also have a 1-4-day and 1-2 which cost more. These quotes take time and I tell people to go to my websites to get exact […]
A lot of broker buy leads and end up fighting against 9 other brokers and I don’t low ball quotes or liar to my customers so this idea doesn’t work for me. The amount of vehicles on the centraldispatch.com board varies at times. The problem is companies post loads without having a sign contract so […]
