A dispatcher in Kansas City told me my car hauler quote was 'garbage' and to stop calling brokers
Honestly I was about 2 weeks into calling around for a move from KC to Phoenix and every quote was $1,400 or more. One dispatcher finally cut me off and told me to stop calling brokers and go straight to the carriers listed on Central Dispatch. I did that the next day and got a guy out of Springfield who quoted me $950 for the same route. The catch was I had to be flexible on pickup, so I told him anytime Wednesday through Friday worked and he locked it in Friday morning. Picked up at 7am and the car was in Phoenix 3 days later with no damage. Has anyone else had luck cutting out the middleman like that, or did I just get lucky with the timing?
Man, hearing about a dispatcher calling someone's quote garbage is wild but not even surprising. Reminds me of when I tried booking a moving truck last summer and every place quoted me double what the guy with the beat up trailer down the street charged. Sometimes the little guys just come through.
