Carrier vs. Broker: Why It Matters for Interstate Moves
Direct carrier service, not warehouse handoffs. Your shipment rides on Ontrack trucks with Ontrack crews.
| Factor | Ontrack (Carrier) | Moving Brokers |
|---|---|---|
| Carrier Continuity | Same Ontrack carrier from Walnut Creek to Denver | Unloaded and reloaded multiple times at warehouses |
| Who moves your items? | Our own uniformed, vetted employees and company trucks | Unknown subcontractors assigned last minute |
| Liability & Insurance | Single carrier liability, clear chain of responsibility | Finger-pointing between broker and carrier |
| Price Transparency | Flat-rate quote based on inventory, transparent pricing | Low initial quote, fees added at delivery |
| Delivery Window | Scheduled 3-4 day window via I-80 | Vague 21-day windows are common |
| Local Knowledge | Bay Area headquarters, Tri-Valley expertise | No local presence or expertise |
Ontrack holds USDOT #2551548 and MC #889001 as a licensed interstate carrier, not a broker. For phased office moves, see our office relocation playbook.
