What exactly is 1stAboard.com?

1stAboard was created in an effort to provide the best possible price to vehicle transport customers by creating a service which allows multiple auto and boat transporters to compete for loads in a single location. When you post a vehicle for transport, depending on the location, time frame, type of vehicle, and other circumstances, your load will accommodate one carrier's current runs better than another. 

For example, if you want your vehicle hauled from Chicago to Miami, there might be a transporter on the board looking to fill a carrier which needs one more car. This company will offer you a lower price to get your vehicle. Or you may post a boat for transport from Florida to Maine. There might be a boat hauler on the board who needs to get back to dispatch, loaded or not, so they will offer a lower rate to secure your load. 

There are many factors when determining the price of relocating a vehicle, by having a group of transporters with various circumstance bidding for your quote, there is a greater chance of receiving the best price possible.
