To all watching this video in August of 2022 or beyond :
Around the 8:00 mark where we discuss deposits - Please understand we are describing the practices of a large % of the online slimy transport firms you will encounter out there. We are obviously not describing how we operate at airRyd.com - And the strategy described of "waiting to pay a deposit until a truck is assigned to the order " - simply no longer works because these large firms have adjusted, and they will often simply claim that a trucking company has been assigned, (even if they have not ) just to give justification to charge your card a nice $200-300 deposit fee. Then once your card has been charged, they'll update you a day or two later, to let you know the "supposed" trucking company has unfortunately cancelled. But they now have you locked in all the same, and you have no way of ever knowing what's what. Some companies also even have shell trucking companies with real DOT #s on standby, with an actual person on the other end of the phone, just so they can claim they have dispatched out your order - so they can then charge your card. It is a tough world out there for the unknowing consumer.
At our firm, over at airRyd - we always have the same exact process on every single order. We charge a flat $89 (open transport order / per car ) or a flat $125 (enclosed transport order / per car ) on EVERY single order. It never changes. No games are ever played. Nothing beyond that is ever due until the delivery at the destination when your car is dropped off to you.
And if your asking, why charge an upfront fee ? We have a couple very clear answers to that question.
1.) If we charged nothing when a customer booked an order, we would have no possible way of knowing what orders are real, what orders are fake or spam, and we would have absolutely no way of knowing if this customer will be MIA or unresponsive once we do locate an option to get the car moved. This takes real human capital to deliver a good service, we can't possibly devote hundreds of hours to orders that simply are never happening. It is just a way to weed out those who are serious from those who are simply shopping.
2.) If we actually posted hundreds of "non-confirmed " orders on major load boards, including our own at airRyd.com - trucks will eventually realize when they inquire in on these loads, that at least 50% are not even legitimate. This will lead to a drop in activity from trucking companies, and thus make our real orders much harder to move. Trucks don't have time to waste, they want to deal with companies that have LEGITIMATE loads, not "maybe" loads. So this would lead to a damaged reputation for us on all major load boards.
3.) There is simply no incentive from our perspective to deliver a good service to a customer with a big question mark over their order, and there is also basically no trust from the customer perspective if they are not willing to pay a small fee to hire us. So the order is not on the right footing when no monies have been paid.
For these reasons and others, this is why we operate as we do. And if anyone is truly unhappy at anytime with our services, we will happily refund them on the booking fee , no questions asked.

Yesss omg why is there like 20 people calling me 😤
Thank You! Your helping a lot of people understand how this works. Your amazing human being! My son just brought a 2021 car and couldn't decide how to transport his vehicle safely. Because of this informative video he now knows how to look for good transport company.
Thank you, brother for all these insights. Stay safe and well. Cheers!
Thank you very much for your help! Everything was perfect. I highly recommend Wes and his company!
after like 30 minutes of trying to figure out how to ship a car I put 2 and 2 together that the industry works like this. Great to have it confirmed.
If having your car hauled by a professional driver and truck is important to you, plus peace of mind, this is THE company to use. They hauled my 2003 Corvette from Florida to Texas, their on time with great communication. The driver had two more cars to pick up after mine and still arrived on time Sunday morning and he left Friday afternoon from Daytona. Impressive!
A big thank you!

Omg facts. So many people called me. I was pissed
Thanks so much such a valuable information
If you need to have a vehicle transported? Use this guys service. I stumbled upon this video after getting very frustrated trying to get quotes from other auto transport brokers. I wanted to understand how not to get ripped off. If your like me? And company reviews hold a lot of sway over your opinion? You’re probably experience and what I did. A lot of companies online have paid fake reviews at 5 stars, but then you find where the business is located and their actual reviews and it’s more like two stars. Anyways, after watching this video. I used the link in the description which got me over to his company website and Wes took great care of me and my vehicle moving from California to Idaho. The cost did come out a little higher than the original quote, but! The car was in inoperable and had no functional brakes, so very reasonable for the added complexity of the move.
With that said, great professional service and peace of mind!
Thanks Wes! Your truly an honest businessman. Which is hard to fine in your industry.
Thank you for your informative video.
Very informative. Thanks
Great video. Learned a lot
Great video. Useful info
Thank you for this helpful information! I appreciate that you made this video. Do you have it provided in written form?
Wes (author of the video) was very helpful shipping my car. I tried multiple brokers but none were as upfront and honest as him. I was trying to move my car for 2 weeks. He got it moved in one day!!
Thank you sir . Enjoy your new Hyundai Genesis
@@AutoTransportForDummieshey Wes .. You you check to see if my vehicle is posted on Central for me .. And if the brokers are legit .??
Thank you for the truth!
Great info. Thank u!!!

I'm happy that I chose your services to ship my car. Vehicle was picked up and delivered safely on time. You tried your best to give me the best price. I appreciate that.
After watching your videos and getting knowledge about the car shipping business, I felt very comfortable with you letting take care of my car shipping.
You kept me posted all the time what the status of truck driver was. Never thought shipping will be so easy with you.
Keep up the great work!
I would definitely recommend any of my friend who wants to ship their car.
Thanks friend. Were happy to help people navigate the incredibly murky waters of auto shipping. It is for sure a challenge for the consumer.
informative! thankyou,
If you’re looking for someone to help transport your car, Wes is your guy! So glad I ran across this video. I had my car shipped from Chicago to Savannah with no issues & great customer service throughout the process!!
Who did you use for the shipping? I need to ship a car soon! 😊

Thank you.
Gorgeous. Uh I mean great info
wish i seen your information before i did the mistake .they quote the rate $1595 and lock me underthe hidden contact and demand to pay either $2195 or cancelation fee of $500. so i end up paid $2195 from ridgewood city california to orlando Florida.
Hi thanks for the great informative video! Highly impressed. Wanted to confirm if you ship across Canada as well as I'm moving from Halifax to Calgary? Thanks
so helpful
Damn thinking about driving now
You have been thanked
Hi there, thank you for the informative video. I checked your website for a quote from WA to OH. What does the insurance cover for the opened option?
Thank you so very much for this information. Very useful. This is exactly what is happening to me. Thought I had placed a call with a shipping company, no. Started getting messages from everybody out there. How does one vet or research a company out of so many. Will broker tell you which it is?
The whole shipping industry is bullshit. I thought shipping my car would be worth a 30 hour drive, but the 30 hour drive is orders of magnitude less stressful than dealing with shipping companies. It's sad how many fraudulent companies there are out there.
I just got off the phone with a transport company, he said that will be $1272.00 bucks! I say driving my car for 30 hours will be fun 😮
i need my cars shipped and have gone through this exactly but I havent hired anyone yet. This shouldnt be this difficult.
Kinda wish i stumbled on this video sooner. This dude was speaking directly to me. I still have half a million people texting me, calling me, flooding my voicemail and sending me emails. Upon researching the companies that are texting me, it turns out theyre all criminals! it has to be against the law for them to sell my data like that to those bait and switchers. Yo what a sick joke this has been.
Wow, just like you said. I submitted a quote through Shiply and got slammed by quotes from at least 30 companies. They ranged from $330 to nearly $800.
A great company is, Road Runner Auto Transport. I have used them twice to ship my car from Va to Ca and then Ca to Va! Affordable prices and delivered my vehicle quick, with in about 4 days!
So road runner auto transport is not a broker?
@@MichaelMontez Yes I believe they are a broker company
@@MichaelMontezwe have same last name lol
Expensive!
What are the top 3 best enclosed auto transport out there?
Great Advice!
Is there a way to just pay by credit card to you or the driver? Don't feel comfortable paying cash to the truck driver upon delivery.
So true! 👏👍
I am a guy from Eastern Europe, worked in such a company. AMA
Damn, this guy went in depth with an explanation. Wish he could just refer me to a company

Good video. Who do recommend for non-exotics? A 60's Thunderbird. Canton, OH to Woodland Hills, Ca. Your website stopped accepting model years at 1971. Hmmmmm......
Richard Propper ha , that needs to be updated . We still do any and all models
I def don’t miss that Phoenix weather
94 GT 5.0 Mustang. Cammed, lowered, headers, straight piped. Need to get it from Maryland to California. Does anyone have any recommended companies for me to use?? Pleaseee
All great advice, but how in the hell is a regular consumer supposed to do all this vetting? I'm trying to get a convertible from CA to VA and it's a nightmare. They all tell you the same bait-and switch nonsense. Who is a reputable shipping company I can call direct???

Thank You for All that you are doing for our Planet Earth.... Peace.. Shalom.. Salam.. Namaste .. 🙏🏻 😊 🌈 ✌ 🌷 ☮ ❤🕊
I spoke with a broker yesterday and he told me basically everything you said on this video in regards to transportation companies. Would this gentleman seem to be the one to go with? Or does every broker say this to earn their trust without actually caring?
I'm not planning to ship a car anytime soon or anything, but do you have any info about shipping cars overseas by boat?
Great video!
I’m looking to buy a private sale car in Little Rock Arkansas, deliver to Charlotte NC.
Wondering how much the cost would be for that?
Thanks for the excellent video! What would be an appropriate amount to tip the driver?
We tipped our Excellent Driver $50.00 on an $800 job.
Are we allowed to give the shipping company a car cover for an open transport?
What do you think is reasonable price to ship a car from New Orleans to Los Angeles using a good trucking company?
I wish I saw this a month ago. The hell I've gone through getting my corvette from California to Alabama. Still waiting btw.... 🙄

I’m moving from Florida to Las Vegas in June. This is a very helpful video. I really don’t want to have to drive , it is quite expensive $1,200 is the cheapest I’ve seen. I’m debating what to do... hmm :/
I’m leaving aswell let’s drive together my ig is Iamqueenjazzy
Did you guys do it?
I’m trying to move a car from Phoenix to Georgia and the cheapest quote I got was $1250, but come to find out, it’s going to be $2100 to actually get it moved within a 6 week window. Beware of the cheap quotes.. they won’t be able to do it once it comes times to pay... arg!
My son used auto transport from Virginia to California. During transport, the car was removed from transport and was driven over 100 miles. The car arrived 2 days late. He noticed a discrepancy in mileage, not only that there was a medium size dent in the passenger side door. When he contacted the company, they denied that any of this happened. He would have pursued filing a complaint but because of his job, he let it slide. Please if you have a problem with a auto transport company, don't let them get away with it.
Just wondering what is your opinion on moving it by rail without suspension blocks? I can't imagine owners of classic cars are putting in suspension blocks every time they move it by truck.
Hello, do you ship non operating vehicles? If not, do you have any places to recommend that had the same business model as you? I can’t find anywhere that will help me ship my car that isn’t running with this no bs approach 😔
I’m trying to tie a car from Iowa to Florida. Where should I look? Any recommendations?
Very informative! I’m trying to have a 2002 Jeep Wrangler shipped from AZ to San Antonio, TX area… paid $13K for the vehicle. Who do you recommend?

Have you guys ever heard of "Crystal Car Shipping"? They offered my sister a job and we're in Russia so I'm not sure if it's a real legal company. What should we do?
So I'm looked at using Dynamic Auto movers and they gave me a quote of 1190. but they said in order to reserve, they need a deposit of $140 but later said that my card won't be charged until 2 days before my pickup date. On June 17th, the charge ig went through and I'm having second thoughts about using them because I've heard that transport companies making you deposit prior to pickup isn't a good sign. so what should I do?
Can u recommend a trucking company from NY to FL
What is a good transport company to transport my Toyota Yaris 2017 to Massachusetts to Minnesota?
if I'm shipping a Mercedes Benz S class 2004, should i go for open or closed?
I screwed up royally, put my contact information into 2 separate "generators". I am getting 25 calls text in Emails an hour. The phone is literally ringing right now. Everyone says their last name is Garcia with Garcia transportation. Like hundreds of callers. Will they ever stop? What is the name of a legit company I can call directly? It's a nice car but not exotic or anything.
I just used "Dynamic Auto Movers" and DO NOT USE THEM!!! I have to move my daughter's from Phoenix, AZ to Miami, FL.
Dynamic told me i will take 5-7 days but the carrier said 3-4 days. My car made it to Miami in 4 days. I call for status of my car and i can not get status of my car. They give me 30 minutes to pick my car and they gave 30 to dropped off my car.
i watch your video so now where do i find a good truck company ?
Hi there good thing , open or closed ?? Thanks
Do you know a direct car transport company to bring our car from Dalton GA to Sacramento CA? Thank you.
Can you recommend any great companies to book with??
HELP....I'm about broke from Mechanics who can't fix cars here in Braindead NC....gotta haul my 2000 S type Jag to a mechanic who specializes in Jags..44 miles away.
Best way to do this without destroying my car??? Tow or ship.. 44 miles, hwy...no backwoods roads.
Hi buddy, thank you for making the video :) I’m looking to get my car shopping from Massachusetts to kelowna British Columbia. Can you give me a price estimate, it’s a 2011 Honda Crv.
Any companies you recommend for shipping a car from Las Vegas Nevada to Chicago Illinois? My car is in an outside storage unit and has been there for the past 11 months. It’s been idle so I’m assuming the battery is dead. I have my keys in Illinois and would need to ship it to them. How would you recommend I go through this process to have my car shipped door to door (from the unit to Chicago house)? Any idea on how much it would cost?
I typed my information in before like you said not to do and got tons of calls. After reviewing most companies I was scared and backed off after reading reviews. This is a very anxiety driven ordeal. I would drive it back myself but the weather is bad and repairs would be a lot before hand.
Who did you end up going with? What was the cost? Do you recommend who you shipped with?
What if the company has good rating?
I am working in this industry as Sales Agent,
Whenever I pitched real price they never accept. Sometimes I even shows screenshot of my central dispatch, still they say like I have cheaper quote etc.
Now I don't explain, I just take initial deposit and dont care.
If I found trucker i let them know if they agree to pay I dispatch, if not "ok let me find another in your budget". This never gonna happens.
Hello. Just a thought here.. the purpose the brokers are just middle men trying to do the phonecalls and scheduling for vehicle. Since they don't really insure nor pay for your car's damage. Am I correct here? Just a thought again. If customers are capable of calling or searching on the internet for a shipper, the same way a broker is capable of making phonecalls, then why do customers have to go to a middle man? Because there is little or no direct contact to carriers??
I was told you have to be licensed for hauling to use the few companies that actually do the hauling. Much in the way you need to be dealer licensed to go to police auction for used cars (the way used car lots get their cars).
Can you define "high profile"? You mean tall? Or unusual. Please explain.
So do we just need to find the companies ourselves? I still have no idea how to send my car from SD to SF without sending money to some random person that called me from an unknown number lol
