A A A Discount Auto & Truck Transporters, Inc

This company does not actually transport your vehicle themselves. They act as brokers for other carriers and receive an administrative fee for locating and booking your transport by subcontracting your agreement to a third party. Our experience with auto shippers is that although they may advertise fast responsible and affordable shipping services their contract does not guarantee anything. In case of loss or damages although the broker may legally be liable they will probably refer you to the actual transporter for recourse. The transporter may be reluctant to accept responsibility for the damages. Either way unless you are dealing with a reputable company you will probably find it extremely difficult to collect for your damages. ~~We recommend checking with your own insurance company in advance to see if your policy will cover any damages resulting from the shipment. If not you may be able to purchase a short-term policy that will cover these costs. You should also remove all personal possessions from your car before it is picked up for shipment. You should also request information about the carrier's insurance to be sure that the carrier is properly insured. In this case because all payments are being made directly to the carrier the carrier will be responsible for any damages. ~~To assist consumers moving vehicles or other property across State lines (Interstate) FMCSA has developed the following Web site section http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/factsfigs/moving.htm.
