Car shipping

Has anyone used uship directly? I did a sample quote and found the cheapest shipper is Montway LLC. I then went to the Montway’s website directly to get a quote and it was slightly cheaper for cash. Montway says going through uship will add service costs that they charge so will be more. Anyone go through uship rather than direct can comment pros and cons of either approach?

I would much rather deal the with a driver one on one than go trough a broker.

I can tell you right now its crazy $ and hard to get a dependable transport company. As stated above, deal directly with a known carrier if you actually care about the cargo.

I shipped my Vantage cross country with Reliable, one driver and one truck. I looked at and got quotes from that broker but decided on an owner operator & the security of a set itinerary with a known point of contact.
