So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Auto Shipping Brokers 101

By Tom Kearns

You may find yourself in a hectic situation if you are trying to handle vehicle transportation all by yourself. The best part of vehicle transportation is you can have someone do it all for you. Everything can be handled by an auto shipping broker. Which for you means more rest and relaxation.

Of course we are talking about going to an auto transport broker. Someone to take care of all our car needs! Perfect, but what is Auto Shipping Broker anyway? Here it goes. A broker is the middleman who deals with a vast number of carriers so they can find you the most suitable vehicle carrier based on your budget and, of course, convenience. A broker will most likely find you the best price when you contract through them versus dealing with the auto shipping companies. The broker does not ship your vehicle for you. Instead they have the right to use a vast network of carriers and with this have the absolute leverage in finding the right shipping service to send your vehicle in the accurate direction with an open spot. This can be incredibly useful when you consider the slim openings that are often available to the single customer. Auto shipping services usually transport your vehicle on a specific route with a definite schedule; working with a broker you have more options.

However a broker does not insure your vehicle, but can help in aiding to use the right company which will. They also find the right party to pick up and deliver your car exactly as you want it. The broker is not tied down to a specific fleet company, while many carrier services have a large amount of trucks to transport your car. The situation rests on the fact that the trucks used to transport you vehicle are very far away thus leading to a more expensive turn around. Working with a broker is much easier due to the fact they are able to quickly track down the trucks or shipping services in your immediate area. The broker allows the pick up and drops off time to be sooner than working with a carrier company.

One of the best things is you will never be rushed or fixed with a broker; meaning, most of the time with carriers once you get a quote they immediately expect you to book with them. Nothing is forced with a broker, you are given plenty of options based on your requirements. You will also receive direct service communication. Brokers can inform drivers or carriers directly of everything, while this access is not something carrier companies have often. It is simply their job is done once they ship.

You always have the choice. If you want an easier life along with auto shipping then I suggest using an auto shipping broker.
