Many people think that by double booking (contracting 2 companies) they will get a better deal and move their car faster. Instead, they increase the price on themselves when the companies start competing on the national load board and delay the shipping process. Some companies also charge you for cancelling the contract as they will be unable to ship the car if someone else already took it. Did you ever double book your cars shipping request?
