Understanding who does what makes vehicle shipping less confusing.
Transporters
Transporters (carriers) physically move your vehicle on open or enclosed equipment. They handle loading, highway transit, and unloading.
Brokers
Brokers work with a network of transporters to match your shipment with the right equipment, timing, and price. They oversee coordination—quotes, scheduling, updates, and issue resolution.
Why the distinction matters
A strong broker relationship with vetted, insured carriers means you get options and accountability without having to shop dozens of trucking companies yourself. Wildfire focuses on high-touch coordination: communication, carrier quality, and customer-first service from booking through delivery—for household vehicle shipments and for commercial inventory moves.
