Transport
Responsibilities.
Everybody wants a deal.
As an Auto Transport, you will be responsible to set or negotiate a transport price
for auto shipping services.
Some companies will quote at very low prices and services in
most cases will reflect this. Others will be high and
while service may be improved, these carriers are still building
loads for 10 car trucks both company owned and hired owner
operators. If the car or cars don't fit the truck or
route, service may be sacrificed for the greater of the cause.
Hence with Autos2Move you can pick your route and cars to suit
you and at the same time provide excellent service for the
customer and retain higher profits for your company. As a
member of Autos2Move, you will be responsible to go after and
lock in your deal - i.e., Fax or email the contract, manage
merchant credit card processing for
deposit to secure the car.
As an Autos2Move Member and as
required by law, insurance and operating authority to transport
MUST be listed in your member profile. If this has
not been done, go to Update User Info
