Vehicle logistics is a critical but often overlooked part of the automotive supply chain. Whether you’re moving vehicles from auction to dealership, repositioning rental inventory, or coordinating fleet deliveries across the country, the process needs to be efficient, transparent, and cost-effective. Unfortunately, for many in the industry, it’s not.

Automotive transport remains one of the least optimized segments of the logistics landscape. Manual dispatching, fragmented carrier networks, and a lack of real-time visibility all contribute to costly delays, empty miles, and limited trust among shippers and carriers alike.

At Carpool Logistics, we’re addressing these challenges head-on by building technology that brings structure, predictability, and accountability to vehicle distribution. Our platform is built for the real-world logistics problems that dealers, auctions, and car haulers face every day.

Where Vehicle Logistics Falls Short

While consumer-facing shipping has made major strides in recent years, automotive transport has been slow to modernize. Today, most vehicle shipments are still manually planned. Load building, route coordination, and carrier assignments are often managed by dispatchers using spreadsheets and phone calls – a process that leaves little room for optimization or scalability.

This outdated approach creates well-documented pain points:

• Empty space on car haulers is common, with nearly 40% of vehicle carriers traveling under capacity, driving up cost per mile.
• Service quality varies widely, especially with small fleets. In fact, 89% of vehicle shipping volume is handled by carriers with fewer than six trucks, making standardization difficult.
• Inconsistent on-time delivery performance, sometimes falling below 65%, is often the result of limited visibility and reactive planning.
• Lack of real-time tracking frustrates customers and delays downstream operations, especially in time-sensitive dealership or fleet environments.

As the automotive industry continues to shift toward digital retail, online car buying, and direct-to-consumer deliveries, the pressure on logistics providers is growing. Consumers and businesses expect full shipment visibility, accurate ETAs, and flexible scheduling – none of which legacy vehicle logistics systems are built to handle.

How Carpool Solves These Problems

Carpool’s platform is designed to streamline vehicle movement at scale by automating key processes, consolidating fragmented shipments, and giving customers full visibility into every move.

Load Optimization

Our proprietary optimization engine intelligently consolidates vehicle shipments, minimizing unused trailer space and increasing route efficiency. This reduces cost for shippers, maximizes revenue for carriers, and significantly cuts down on fuel waste.

Intelligent Carrier Matching

Instead of relying on static load boards or manual broker assignments, we use a digital matching algorithm that dynamically connects available shipments with vetted carriers based on route, capacity, and timing. The result is higher utilization, fewer delays, and more predictable performance.

Real-Time Tracking and Notifications

Through our mobile technology and customer portal, clients get real-time updates, milestone notifications, and live GPS tracking. This eliminates guesswork and builds trust – especially in high-volume or high-value transport scenarios.

Lower Emissions, Higher Accountability

By reducing the number of empty miles and enabling more precise load planning, Carpool helps shippers meet their sustainability goals without adding operational complexity. Fewer trucks on the road, moving smarter, means fewer emissions and less waste across the board.

Designed for Dealers, Fleets, Auctions, and Carriers

Whether you manage a dealership group, operate a nationwide fleet, run an auction platform, or drive for a small car hauling business, Carpool provides the tools and structure to make your logistics work better.

• For dealers, that means faster inventory turn times and full shipment visibility from auction to lot.
• For fleets, it means precise vehicle tracking and centralized coordination across markets.
• For carriers, it means better access to volume, fewer deadhead trips, and a platform that supports performance and accountability.

We’re not introducing change for the sake of change. We’re focused on helping the industry do what it already does – just better.

A Platform for Modern Vehicle Transport

Carpool was built to meet the current and future demands of vehicle logistics. With real-time tracking, API integrations, digital documentation, and load optimization at its core, our platform helps you:

• Reduce shipping costs per vehicle
