People who have a ton of money to buy an expensive car yet cheap out when shipping out that 6-figure car, makes you wonder what else they cheaped out on
12:49 been a transport broker for 15 years. Last 2 years for this type of theft, and garbage call center overseas brokers, has become rampart. You guys hit on some key facts. You get what you pay for, and any broker worth his salt, couldve seen the red flags before dispatching. He didn't care.
@@switchcars There are still a handful out there Doug, but as touched on before, with this influx of 'contamination' in the industry, its more challenging to find them. I believe like yourself with SwitchCars, you have clients that have entrusted you for multiple cars, and referrals from them to buy & sell with you, and they hang on to that relationship.

LMAO i saw this ferrari on the back of a flatbed on i85 south outside of charlotte. if anyone has a link to the ferrari owners IG or FB im going over my dashcam footage from thanksgiving morning to screenshot the car on the flatbed so he can see if it was his car or not. it was a 812 with no plate strapped on the back of a ford f650 flatbed tow rig that was black with no company logo or markings on it.
they looked to be heading towards the SC boarder and this was on thanksgiving morning. might not be the same car but i highly suspect it is. the flatbed had no company markings though
Except for the very top echelon of expensive transporter companies, the rest of the entire transporter industry is barely 1 rung above seedy. I helped a friend sell a 70 Chevelle SS this spring to someone in Orlando. Shipper shows up and my friend asks if we give the title to the shipper!!! I said Oh God No!
You definitely never send the title with the car, no matter what. But there are plenty of 2nd-tier shippers that are far better than the seedy lot. Are they easy to find? No. But they're out there.
I think this guy didn't do his homework. I remember trying to sign up to an LTL load board in 08 or 09 for my courier company, and the amount of information and verification they requested was daunting. And it was all for naught, in 4 years I never got a load from that board. Any job I bid on, other, larger, courier companies would underbid me.
Ill say this, if a trucking company uses a bunch of random letters (typically 3-4), might wanna run, high dot# (say 2500000+) you wanna do some research
The unfortunate part of this is that many brokers charge almost as much as top-tier shippers, they just pocked a huge percentage and then line up the lowest bidder shipper for the job.
It’s the brokers who drop the ball. Can’t spell “brokers” without “broke”. But yes. Owners should demand more information from their transport brokers. And/or stop using them!!
See a need, fill a need. Seems like an honest fellow could make killing by running a reliable and trustworthy auto transport company. Seems like a lot of shadiness going on in that industry.
So in conclusion… if can buy 7:45 it you can (and should) drive it. If you make 500k+ you can make your own schedule, if you really wanted the car for its carness you’d drive it. If you want to show it off cuz youre a tool you deserve to get your car stolen
If the name of the owner of the transporter company sounds like an Albanian gangster, maybe you shouldn’t let them transport your Ferrari. If the operator shows up and he’s wearing a blue velvet track suit and a giant gold watch maybe you shouldn’t let them transport your Ferrari. If the operator’s other business is an escort service maybe you shouldn’t let them transport your Ferrari.
One of our favorite transporters, Nico, would dress just like that. Used him for years and years, loved that guy. There are plenty of honest Albanian Gangsters in track suits and gold chains.
Curious on what the percentage of good vs bad high end car transporters there are? I always find the Bad stories so entertaining but would seemingly have to think that the majority go just fine. I would imagine there has to be some "White Glove" level transporters out there but maybe those guys are too expensive for those financially overextended first Ferrari or Lamborghini owners to shell out the funds for that piece of mind?
Well the stories about the bad transporters are just more postable. Good transport would go something along the lines of: "Car was loaded at the dealership and after xx hours arrived to a customer without any major complications." The story will take about 2 minutes to tell.
I appreciate what you're doing, but you're kind of exposing yourself to a lot of drama that you don't need lol.. people are crazy, don't poke the bear.
By calling thieves thieves? I’m supposed to not help people avoid having their cars stolen by exposing scammers practices because of fear of retribution?
@@switchcars i appreciate your motivation and I understand why youre doing it - I just wonder who the crazy people behind this scam really are and what weapons they have within their immediate reach. It was kind of a stupid comment on my part, but I personally wouldn't call out criminals in a public setting. People are quite literally crazy.
I’m the one that sent you guys the post through Instagram dm’s, I didn’t think you guys would make a video on it truthfully but here we are😅

Air tags are cheap
@@Zzus321 airtags wont save you, these thieves were smart enough to register on DOT, you don't think they can get a frequency jammer?
I do some work for a collector car dealership and it's wild what sometimes arrives on an open trailer hot shot.
That R8's previous owner was 100% a Honda dude who got some crypto money. He clearly came up in the car world too fast and his taste never evolved 😂

Where have the good brokers gone (I’m still not convinced there are more than 4-5 - but I hope you’re one of them, and if so, kudos and good luck)

SCD Cargo sounds a lot like Seedy Cargo. I am surprised the drivers names aren't Dewy, Screwm, & Haow.
A subsidiary of Humane Traffic Ling
That would be Dewey/Cheatem/ & Howe
Theft by conversion. It’s covered
If you’re not transporting expensive cars with reliable you shouldn’t probably own that car

Almost guilty of doing this myself. Fortunately the deal fell through and didn’t ship a car. Now all I get is spam texts and emails. Buyer beware!
If you can afford that car you can afford a high quality transporter.
a real car guy no matter of busy their life is would be contacting the best auto- transport company in the u.s. and booking it himself. PERIOD. cheers

You get what you pay for when choosing a shipper. Remember that.

Im starting to see a pattern here..
Air tags. And backup tracking options
If I’m not mistaken Hyundai trailers are the 53’ container style
I had an old school transporter pick up a car for me last week, he told me central dispatch was acquired by Indians.
Last I checked they are owned by Cox automotive
That sounds like a all around scam and insurance fraud by owner of Ferrari. And that truck and. Trailer comes back to a dry van trailer
That R8 🤮🤮 The dealer could've at least removed all of the extra badging in 30min, and maybe not disgust 50% of real buyers.
What they doing with all these Ferraris??? And what makes them think they won’t get caught?!? 🤔!
I can't believe someone wouldn't perform any due diligence on a company moving a Ferrari. Just proves you really don't have to be smart to get rich
It’s the brokers who drop the ball. Can’t spell “brokers” without “broke”.

sorry pre-existing conditions are not covered. lol
Hopefully not insured by United.
Sudden urge to watch Gummo.
Whoa didn't know you had a channel...guess
that makes me the dumbest man in the room.
Doh.

Well known on the national and international level are the best choices, if you can't afford 4k for a 50k+ car, you can't afford the car

3:06...2009 Ferrari 812 Superfast? Didn't enter production til 2017.
Probably meant 2019
@supervillain3213 Yeah and unfortunately that poor Ferrari went on a shipping container somewhere.
He obviously meant 2019 He even put a picture up of the car man..😂
At least I wasn’t the only one who noticed that fact.
And water is wet
Yawn
Then why you here??
@SamamahBoy to deal with all the bullsh-- comments suckered into responding to me 🤭
But waves are still extremely difficult to navigate for most amateur boaters.

And the reason the seller didn't drop an air pod behind the dash is why?
That car is already in Russia!
