What to Check Before Hiring Any Carrier
Verify active FMCSA authority
A carrier must have active operating authority to legally haul vehicles interstate. Check the FMCSA SAFER system before booking.
Confirm insurance coverage
Federal minimums require $750,000 BIPD and $5,000/$10,000 cargo insurance. Ask for a certificate of insurance — don't take their word for it.
Review the Bill of Lading carefully
The BOL is a legally binding document. Photograph your vehicle from all angles before loading and compare at delivery. Note any new damage before signing.
Watch for bait-and-switch pricing
If a quote is significantly below market ($400 for a $1,200 route), it's likely a non-binding estimate that will increase. Get binding quotes from multiple carriers.
Shipping Vehicles to and from Florida
Florida is one of the busiest auto transport states in the country. Carriers based here service routes across the continental United States. Florida is the #1 destination for snowbird auto transport from October through March, with major corridors running to New York, Michigan, Illinois, and the Northeast.

How to Verify and Hire a Carrier
Check FMCSA authority
Visit the FMCSA SAFER system and search for the carrier by USDOT number (2237992). Confirm their operating authority is "Active" and they are "Allowed to Operate."
Verify insurance coverage
Confirm the carrier has BIPD insurance on file (federal minimum $750,000) and cargo insurance ($5,000 per vehicle, $10,000 per occurrence). Request a certificate of insurance before booking.
Get a binding quote
Request a binding quote in writing that includes pickup/delivery dates, total cost, and cancellation policy. Avoid non-binding estimates that can increase after you commit.
Document your vehicle
Before the carrier arrives, photograph your vehicle from all four sides, the top, interior, and odometer. These photos are your evidence if a damage claim is needed.
Review the Bill of Lading
At pickup, carefully review the Bill of Lading (BOL) with the driver. Note any existing damage. At delivery, compare the vehicle to the BOL and note any new damage before signing.
