“Once again, Big Fellas delivered exceptional service and timing. I paid for white glove service because I wanted a shorter window of travel time and a GPS tracker. They picked up the car the day after I called them and dropped off in California two days later with zero problems. Highly recommend.”

Service levels
Both options use vetted, FMCSA-licensed carriers with $150,000+ cargo insurance. White Glove is a higher level of service — priority handling, not a promised pickup date or GPS guarantee.
On every level
Carrier matching
Pickup coordination
Communication
Status updates
Reliable Car Shipping. Straightforward Service. A dependable vehicle shipping experience with carrier matching, pickup coordination, door-to-door transport, and shipment updates from booking through delivery. Best for customers with flexible pickup dates who want dependable vehicle shipping.
Priority Handling. Proactive Updates. A Higher Level of Service. Priority dispatch, expedited pickup efforts, dedicated shipment support, and proactive delay communication. GPS tracking is available when supported by the assigned carrier. This is not a guaranteed exact pickup time. Pickup timing depends on carrier availability, route conditions, and other factors. Best for customers with tighter schedules who value priority handling and more hands-on support.
A low quote looks attractive, but the right price is the one that actually gets your vehicle picked up on time by a reliable carrier. Auto transport pricing follows real market conditions on your lane.
Carrier verification
Before any carrier is assigned to your shipment, it passes this process and receives a Bigfella Trust Score. You see the score, the USDOT number, and the MC number before dispatch.
Every carrier must hold an active USDOT number and MC operating authority with the FMCSA. Revoked or suspended authority is an automatic disqualification, with no exceptions.
We confirm current cargo insurance meeting our $150,000 minimum directly, rather than taking the carrier's word for it. A lapsed policy removes a carrier from our network immediately.
We check FMCSA safety ratings and inspection history. For carriers we have used before, we track on-time rates, cancellations, and customer complaints.
We confirm the carrier's equipment matches your shipment — open or enclosed, multi-car, winch-equipped for inoperable vehicles — so there are no surprises at pickup.
| Score | What it means |
|---|---|
| 90–100 | Excellent — strong track record, fully verified |
| 75–89 | Good — fully verified, solid history |
| 60–74 | Acceptable — verified, more limited history |
| Below 60 | Not assigned — held for review or excluded |
Pricing
Your estimate depends on the route, the vehicle, open or enclosed transport, when you need pickup, and the service level you choose.
Busy interstate lanes usually cost less per mile than rural pickups, because those corridors stay full and predictable.
A lifted truck or three-row SUV takes more space than a compact sedan, so it prices higher on the same route.
Enclosed trailers carry fewer cars and cost more to operate, so enclosed shipping prices higher than open transport.
A later first-available date can price lower than an urgent pickup. Express and White Glove cost more for faster coverage.
A vehicle that does not run needs a winch and extra handling, so it costs more and fewer trucks can take the load.
Standard is reliable shipping with standard matching and updates. White Glove Priority adds priority dispatch, expedited pickup efforts, and dedicated support. Pickup dates and GPS are not guaranteed.
Coverage
Prices are typical quotes for an operable sedan on open transport and move with market conditions. Choose a route to open its shipping page.
We arrange door-to-door auto transport in 48 states from our Houston base, with the heaviest coverage along the I-10, I-45, I-69, I-35, and I-95 corridors. Alaska and Hawaii shipments are quoted case by case.

Opportunities
You already know how to sell — or how to take care of customers. You don't need a truck, a dispatch board, or auto-transport experience. You plug into the Bigfella machine.
We don't hire everybody. We screen for people who can represent the brand, follow a system, and get work done remotely.
This is not a 9–5, and it is not “become an auto transport broker.” You work independently from your phone. Bigfella quotes, sources carriers, dispatches, and moves the vehicle. You get paid when the shipment completes.
Someone needs to move a vehicle. Realtors, dealers, movers, military families, your own contacts.
Enter the route and vehicle. We return Standard, Express, and White Glove pricing.
Email, text, or call. Ask for the booking. We handle carriers and the move.
Operations assigns a vetted carrier. You stay in the sales lane.
Commission on completed shipments — not on quotes that never book.
Repeat customers and referrals. A few right relationships beat a hundred cold names.
You might already be a realtor, car salesperson, moving consultant, insurance agent, military relocation specialist, detailer, mechanic, or connector. If people already come to you when something needs to move, you can do this.
You want to build a book of business, not collect a title.
You follow up when other people stop.
You represent the Bigfella brand on every text and call.
You know how to find people and create opportunities.
You will use our quotes, our language, and our system.
You can ask for the sale without overpromising transit times.
Apply. Get screened. If we move forward: a short scenario interview, a 5-minute close on a sample quote, then 30 days as a probationary partner — 10 qualified leads or 2 booked shipments to become a Certified Partner. Start small. Earn the system.
Tell us how you sell and where your first customers would come from. Strong applications get a 15-minute interview. This is commission-based and independent — not a salaried job.
When someone ships a vehicle, they want to know what's happening. Transport Concierges run the ticket queue and take some inbound calls. You will not hunt for customers or cold-call prospects.
Customers shouldn't have to ask twice.
You explain pickup windows and delays without jargon.
You stay professional when someone is worried about their car.
You can run several tickets without dropping one.
You don't just say “I'll check.” You check.
You can work from home on a laptop, on a flexible schedule.
A customer shouldn't wonder “Did anyone see my message?” or “What's happening with my car?” This role exists so they don't. Sales brings them in. You take care of them. Operations gets the vehicle moved.
Remote and flexible. Hourly plus a performance bonus. Tickets first, some phone support. No auto-transport experience required.
Looking to haul vehicles as a licensed carrier, or ship a fleet? Use instead. Join Bigfella is for sales partners and transport concierges.
We'll email you this exact quote — no obligation, no spam.
We'll use the vehicle and route details you already entered.
Auto Transport Agreement
Read this before booking. By checking the box on the booking form, you agree to these terms.
Bigfella Auto Express — Vehicle Transport Agreement
Houston, Texas · 1(346)637-2326 · Effective 2026
Bigfella Auto Express is a transportation broker that arranges vehicle transportation between customers and independent, licensed, and insured motor carriers. Bigfella does not itself physically transport the Customer's vehicle unless expressly stated otherwise in writing. By submitting a booking request, the Customer authorizes Bigfella to begin sourcing, communicating with, negotiating with, and coordinating with qualified motor carriers. $0 due to book does not mean the brokerage service is free. It means no upfront payment is required when the booking request is submitted.
The Customer authorizes Bigfella to market the shipment, post it through dispatch networks, contact and negotiate with carriers, provide shipment information, evaluate availability and pricing, secure an available carrier, coordinate pickup and delivery, and take reasonable steps to arrange transportation. Carrier sourcing begins after the booking request is submitted.
The Customer agrees not to simultaneously have the same vehicle actively marketed, posted, or sourced by another broker or transportation company after submitting a booking with Bigfella. The Customer must promptly notify Bigfella if another broker or carrier has secured transportation. Failure to notify may result in the cancellation provisions of this Agreement.
No payment is required when the Customer submits the initial booking request. Submitting a booking authorizes Bigfella to begin carrier sourcing. Payment becomes due only after transportation arrangements reach the applicable payment stage.
Any website price, including an instant estimate, is an estimate and is not a guaranteed carrier price unless expressly confirmed in writing after shipment review. Pricing may change based on carrier availability, market conditions, route demand, pickup and delivery requirements, vehicle size and condition, operability, special equipment, timing, route changes, or other circumstances. The final transportation price is confirmed after Bigfella identifies an available carrier. The Customer will have an opportunity to review and approve the final carrier and price before payment. Once approved, the applicable Bigfella Price Lock holds the approved price for 30 days, subject to the terms of the shipment and any customer-requested changes.
A carrier assignment occurs when Bigfella has secured a specific motor carrier willing and able to transport the vehicle and has communicated the assignment and applicable final transportation price to the Customer. Once a carrier has been secured, Bigfella has performed substantial brokerage, sourcing, negotiation, and coordination. Customer approval of the assigned carrier and final price authorizes dispatch.
$0 is due when the booking is submitted. After a carrier has been assigned and the Customer has approved the final transportation price, payment becomes due according to the selected plan. Full payment is due after assignment and approval. If COD is selected, the Bigfella service fee is due after assignment and approval, and the remaining carrier balance is paid to the assigned motor carrier at delivery.
Bigfella charges a brokerage/service fee for arranging and coordinating vehicle transportation. The fee is disclosed before payment is processed and compensates Bigfella for sourcing, negotiation, coordination, communication, dispatch assistance, and shipment management.
By accepting this Agreement and later approving the assigned carrier and final price, the Customer authorizes Bigfella to charge the applicable amount to the payment method provided. The Customer remains responsible for amounts properly due if a payment is declined, reversed, or disputed.
Any applicable card processing fees will be disclosed before payment is processed and may be non-refundable where permitted by law and processor rules.
The Customer may cancel the booking before a carrier has been assigned without a cancellation fee, provided the Customer promptly notifies Bigfella. The Customer may not use Bigfella's active carrier-search services while simultaneously arranging the same shipment through another broker or carrier without notifying Bigfella.
Once a carrier has been assigned, a $250 cancellation fee applies when the Customer cancels the shipment for reasons within the Customer's control. Carrier assignment means Bigfella has performed substantial brokerage and coordination and the assigned carrier may have relied upon the assignment. If a payment has already been processed, Bigfella may apply amounts otherwise refundable toward the cancellation fee, to the extent permitted by law.
If the Customer fails to notify Bigfella of a cancellation and the vehicle is subsequently posted, placed, assigned, or secured through another broker or carrier, a $250 cancellation fee may apply.
Once the vehicle has been picked up, the shipment cannot be cancelled through Bigfella in the ordinary course. Transportation charges and agreed fees remain due. Issues after pickup are addressed under the carrier's transportation agreement, Bill of Lading, applicable law, and the claims process.
The $250 cancellation fee does not apply when cancellation results from Bigfella's failure to perform its brokerage obligations or from circumstances outside the Customer's reasonable control. If an assigned carrier cancels or cannot complete the shipment, Bigfella may attempt to locate a replacement carrier, which may require a different transportation price.
The Customer must accurately disclose whether the vehicle runs and drives, condition, dimensions, modifications, lowered or lifted suspension, oversized tires, inoperable brakes or steering, aftermarket equipment, damage, personal property, and special loading requirements. Failure to disclose may result in additional charges, delays, carrier refusal, rebooking, or cancellation.
Pickup and delivery dates are estimates unless a specific date or service commitment has been expressly guaranteed in writing. Schedules may be affected by weather, traffic, mechanical problems, carrier scheduling, road restrictions, government restrictions, prior deliveries, accidents, or other circumstances outside Bigfella's reasonable control.
The Customer agrees to provide accurate addresses and contact information, make the vehicle available during the pickup window, provide keys and access, remove prohibited personal property, ensure reasonable loading access, have an authorized person available, follow carrier instructions, inspect the vehicle at delivery, and document visible damage on the Bill of Lading before accepting delivery.
Customers should remove personal belongings before transportation. Bigfella and the assigned carrier are not responsible for personal property left in the vehicle unless specifically agreed in writing.
Bigfella works with licensed and insured motor carriers. Cargo insurance applies according to the specific carrier's policy, terms, exclusions, and applicable law. Coverage generally applies to covered transportation-related loss or damage and may not apply to personal property, mechanical failure, pre-existing damage, normal wear, or acts of nature.
The carrier's Bill of Lading is the controlling document for the vehicle's condition at pickup and delivery. Damage claims must be submitted according to the carrier's claims procedures. Bigfella may reasonably assist in communicating with the carrier but does not control the carrier's insurance company or claims determination.
Bigfella is a transportation broker and is not the motor carrier physically transporting the vehicle unless expressly stated otherwise in writing. The motor carrier is responsible for the actual physical transportation.
Bigfella may select a qualified motor carrier based on availability, route, timing, vehicle requirements, equipment, pricing, insurance, and other operational considerations. The Customer does not have the right to require a particular carrier unless that carrier has been expressly agreed to in writing.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Bigfella is not responsible for indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages, including loss of use, missed travel, lodging, rental vehicles, lost wages, or lost business arising from delays or circumstances outside Bigfella's reasonable control.
Neither Bigfella nor the assigned carrier will be responsible for delays or inability to perform caused by circumstances beyond reasonable control, including severe weather, natural disasters, road closures, governmental action, accidents, mechanical failures, labor disruptions, carrier breakdowns, or traffic conditions.
The Customer agrees to provide accurate telephone and email information and to promptly respond to communications regarding carrier assignment, final price, pickup, delivery, payment, vehicle availability, or shipment changes. Failure to respond may result in delays, inability to secure a carrier, additional costs, or cancellation.
Electronic acceptance, including a checkbox, online booking, email confirmation, or other electronic method, constitutes acceptance of this Agreement to the extent permitted by law and is intended to have the same effect as a written signature.
This Agreement becomes binding when the Customer electronically accepts it and submits the transportation booking request. Submitting the booking authorizes Bigfella to begin carrier sourcing. Payment obligations arise when the applicable payment stage is reached.
This Agreement, together with the Customer's shipment information, approved final transportation price, selected service level, and any written terms expressly incorporated into the shipment, constitutes the entire agreement regarding brokerage services.
This Agreement is governed by applicable federal law and, to the extent not preempted, the laws of the State of Texas. The parties agree to attempt in good faith to resolve disputes before formal proceedings. To the extent permitted by law, disputes may be resolved through mediation and/or arbitration in Texas.
By electronically accepting this Agreement and submitting a booking, the Customer acknowledges they have reviewed and accepted it; understand that $0 is due to submit the booking; authorize Bigfella to begin carrier sourcing; understand the website estimate is not necessarily the final transportation price; agree to the payment terms and cancellation policy; and agree not to simultaneously shop the same shipment through another broker or carrier without notifying Bigfella.
