Carrier vs Broker — Why It Matters on Your Florida to Oregon Move

A broker sells your move to the cheapest available carrier on a load board — a carrier that has never done a Florida to Pacific Northwest corridor move has no Oregon Coast Range routing experience and has zero accountability if something goes wrong 3,000 miles from home.
