Carrier vs. Broker: Know the Difference
Why hiring a direct carrier like Ontrack protects your business
| Factor | Ontrack (Carrier) | Moving Brokers |
|---|---|---|
| Documented Handling | Same truck, same crew from your Oakland office to the new location | Unloaded and reloaded multiple times at warehouses |
| Who moves your items? | Our own direct-hire employees with company ID and uniforms | Unknown subcontractors assigned at the last minute |
| Liability & Insurance | Direct coverage under our USDOT #2551548 | Claims passed between broker and subcontractor |
| Price Transparency | Transparent estimates with no surprise fees | Low-ball estimates, then price increases on move day |
| COI Issuance | Same-day COI from our insurance, naming your Oakland building | Delayed or incorrect COI from third parties |
| Accountability | One company, one point of responsibility | Finger-pointing between broker and mover |
Ontrack is a licensed carrier (USDOT #2551548), not a broker. Your belongings ride on Ontrack trucks with Ontrack crews, with no broker handoffs.

Long distance move handled with care
Carmina was great to work with, she answered all my questions and helped to set up the payment for us. Ervin, Edgar, and the moving team were amazing! They packed up everything very quickly and efficiently, making sure the furniture was covered. The wardrobe boxes and padding blankets all looked clean which was very nice.

First time hiring pros, well worth it
This was our first time hiring professional movers instead of using some random people from CraigsList and let me be the first to say, it was WELL worth it! The whole process was so easy and everyone was very communicative and clear. I couldn't be happier. Leo and Carlos did an amazing job. They took great care of our stuff.
