The middle one being $400 cheaper and showing up on time sounds great but that's one shipment. One good trip does not tell you anything about how a company handles a problem. What happens when the driver gets delayed in a snowstorm in Utah or the car gets a scratch on the trailer? The cheap broker usually vanishes and you are stuck calling around trying to find out who even has your car. The higher quotes might be paying for real insurance and a dispatcher who actually picks up the phone. You got lucky this time, sure, but saving $400 is nothing compared to what a damaged Civic or a two week delay would cost you. Next time the cheap guy might be the one who farms your car out to some random guy with a truck and no insurance.
