It would appear that the broker boom of 2011 is all but gone, you just done see an influx of car shipping companies like you have in days past. The larger ones remain and the smaller ones seem to eek by. 1-2 man owner/sales reps have recently proved to be a popular business model due to rising overhead.
Some companies buy leads, some use Uship and a few try to market small car dealerships. I know one thing, right now does not seem like a good time to open one of these businesses. Lead prices will continue to rise and smaller companies will trickle away slowly but the big 20 will remain, hammering it out day by day.

Industry booming!
Seems like this is going to be a record summer as far as transport moves, Centrals numbers is at the highest in years. Large retail brokerages are still on the rise despite the bond increase to 75k, but the most surprising thing is postings for large trucking companies such as DAS and UNITED are down 12% and brokerages are up 8% year over year showing the power of the broker. As long as fuel prices plateau and do not increase, this summer will break records!
