What a direct carrier actually is
A direct carrier owns and operates the trucks that move your vehicle. A broker doesn’t own trucks. They take your order, add a fee, and shop your car out to carriers they may have never worked with. Most of the car shipping sites you’ll find online are brokers.
With no broker car shipping, the company you call is the company that shows up. One phone number and one point of accountability, from pickup to delivery.
Broker vs. direct carrier: what changes for you
- Price. Brokers often quote low to win the booking, then come back for more when no truck accepts the load at that rate. Our price is confirmed in writing in our terms and conditions. It doesn’t change.
- Communication. With a broker, you call a middleman who calls a dispatcher who calls a driver. With us, you talk to the people moving your car.
- Accountability. When a brokered move goes wrong, the broker blames the carrier and the carrier blames the broker. We own the whole job.
- Insurance. Our door-to-door service includes insurance coverage. No add-ons, and no surprise upsell at pickup.

FAQs
Is Long Distance Towing a broker or a carrier?
We’re carrier-direct. We operate our own fleet of 9 car haulers and book your move directly, so there’s no middleman between you and the trucks. We’ve worked this way since 2010.
Why do broker prices change after booking?
A broker’s quote is a guess at what a carrier might accept. If no truck takes the load at that price, the broker comes back asking for more money. Because we run our own fleet, the price we put in writing is the price you pay.
Does shipping direct cost more?
No. You’re not paying a middleman’s cut on top of the transport, and broker fees industry-wide typically add a few hundred dollars to a move. You pay for the truck, not the go-between.
