Broker or independent car haulers

I hope this is the right place to post this.

I have searched online for days trying to figure this all out. Which way is the best way to go when you need to ship a vehicle. I find a quote and then look at reviews on different sites and read a lot of scary things. I am almost to the point of booking a flight to pick up the vehicle myself. These brokers have called my phone 100s of times trying to get me to book the vehicle I need shipped. They are very forceful trying to get me to book. How do you go about finding an independent hauler to do the job?

 

I don't want the lowest price. My parents drive truck and have taught me you pay for what you get. I saw what a hauler did to my sisters truck during a military move. They caused $5000 in damage to her truck. It was a pain to get them to pay. The vehicle I need moved is in Texas near Ft Hood and I am in North Alabama. With the broker prices I have been quoted $375 to $700. So I really don't know which way to go.
