That doesn't apply in the car shipping world, it is pretty easy to find the good carriers, and no one is shipping very many.

Sorry, but that doesn't make sense to me. 1st you say you are a Broker, but there is no reason to use a Broker!
Granted it's easy to find a Good Shipper (Like Reliable or Passport), but if someone is looking to ship a car for a lot less than the Big Names charge, they wouldn't have access to Network of Shippers. Also Car Shipping is very big - I have had to wait on even the Big Names to pick up a car since they were so busy. Yesterday I did a 250 Trip in our Single Car Trailer and must have seen 25 Full 6-8 Car Haulers. This morning on my way to work (14 Miles) I saw 5!
