Can we talk about how I wasted 6 months comparing brokers by price alone?
I used to think the cheapest quote was always the smart pick, so I booked a $650 carrier to move my Civic from Phoenix to Portland last spring. The car showed up 9 days late with a cracked mirror and the broker just said "not our problem, talk to the carrier." What tipped me off was a guy at a shop in Tempe who asked if I ever checked whether the broker was actually bonded, and I had no clue what that even meant. Now I read the FMCSA records before I even look at the number, and it has saved me from two sketchy setups since. Anyone else get burned before they started checking the paperwork first?

The broker's insurance is the real tell, cheap ones skip it.
