How to Choose an Auto Transport Company

Red flags, verification steps and the questions that separate real carriers from bad brokers.

  • Licensed & insured carriers
  • Door-to-door service
  • Open & enclosed trailers
  • Indianapolis dispatch

Verify the DOT and MC numbers

Public FMCSA records show authority status, insurance and safety history in under two minutes.

Beware large up-front deposits

Reasonable companies collect little or nothing until a carrier is actually assigned.

Ask how they handle problems

Anyone can move a car when nothing goes wrong. Ask what happens when a truck breaks down.
