What is AutoTransMart?
How is it different from a load board?
AutoTransMart is a revolutionary new way for dealers to ship vehicles. AutoTransMart’s carrier network gives dealers the power of real-time Web-based bidding. AutoTransMart is be critical in helping transporters fill open spaces, maximizing load factors, and reducing empty backhaul miles. AutoTransMart's innovative technology is rapidly enrolling thousands of transporters to compete for dealers' business.
Are you in the business of buying and selling cars, or are you in the business of transporting cars?
Every hour you spend arranging vehicle transportation is an hour you are spending money and not generating revenue. You can save countless hours arranging and managing transportation by using AutoTransMart. It takes less than 10 minutes to arrange a load using AutoTransMart:
- About 5 minutes to enter your order
- Under 2 minutes to review your bid results
- Select the bid you want and submit - You’re Finished!
If you could reduce your transportation costs by 20-30% by having carriers bid, what that would that mean to your bottom line? You have to compete for every sale you make, so shouldn’t your transport carriers have to compete for your business? AutoTransMart is like no other load board or transportation broker. On load boards, you have to guess at a price when you post your load. If you guess too low, no one accepts your load and you have to keep checking your order and raising your price while your vehicles just sit there. You are spending your time on buying transportation and not on selling cars. If you guess too high, your load is accepted within minutes and you know that you could have moved the vehicles for much less money, but it’s too late now. Do you want to spend your time becoming an expert at shipping cars?
How much would you pay for peace of mind?
When you use a load board, what do you really know about your carriers? Do you know if they still have current authority to operate? Does their insurance cover your cargo? Do you know if they let their insurance expire last week? Only AutoTransMart verifies operating authority and insurance at every carrier bid. Some load boards only check on the carriers when they register, and others check annually. Do you want to accept this risk?
