Auto Transport Load Board

Post vehicle shipments.
Find car hauling loads.

Connect vehicle-shipping requirements with carriers that can evaluate the move. Logistware helps shippers and freight brokers post auto transport loads, while car haulers review opportunities that fit their equipment, lanes and schedule.

Vehicle freight through Logistware

From a single car
to a planned fleet move.

Vehicle freight can involve dealership transfers, auction purchases, fleet relocations and shipments arranged by manufacturers, businesses or freight brokers. Each move needs a clear vehicle description and a realistic collection and delivery plan.

A car hauler load board helps both sides evaluate the opportunity. The shipper describes the vehicles and timing; the carrier checks equipment fit, loading requirements and the complete route before placing a bid.

Logistware keeps that process connected with freight communication, dispatch tools, document exchange and shipment visibility.

Dealerships & auctions

Provide release instructions, collection hours, vehicle identifiers and receiving contacts so the carrier can plan the handoff.

Fleets & vehicle shippers

Describe each unit and its readiness. Explain whether vehicles move together, separately or in a required delivery sequence.

Car haulers & brokers

Evaluate the lane, equipment and commercial terms. Keep the shipment details clear before an offer becomes an awarded load.

For shippers and freight brokers

Post vehicle shipments with the details a car hauler needs.

“One car, ready to move” leaves important questions unanswered. Describe the vehicle and its actual condition so carriers can assess the job and price their offers.

  • Identify each vehicle: year, make, model, quantity and any modifications that affect dimensions or clearance.
  • State operability: whether it starts, rolls, steers and brakes, and whether keys are available.
  • Describe the move: pickup and delivery locations, access restrictions, release contacts and timing.
  • Specify transport preferences: open or enclosed equipment, handling requirements and any special loading needs.

Use the shipment description and direct communication for details that need clarification. Confirm the proposed equipment and pickup arrangements before awarding the load.

For car haulers and dispatchers

Find car hauling loads
that fit the way you operate.

Post your truck availability and review vehicle-freight opportunities on the Logistware Load Board. Check the vehicle description, requested transport method and pickup conditions before deciding whether to bid.

For multi-vehicle equipment, consider the space and weight of the actual units, not just the number of vehicles. A larger pickup, a modified vehicle or a low-clearance car may change how the load can be arranged.

Review the entire trip, including travel to collection, delivery access and where the truck finishes. Load availability changes with member postings; a listing is an opportunity to evaluate, not a guaranteed fit or return load.

Equipment, protection and vehicle condition

The vehicle determines
what the move requires.

Open transport, enclosed transport and non-running vehicles are not interchangeable jobs. Agree on the actual arrangement with the carrier instead of assuming every vehicle can use the same equipment.

Open vehicle transport

Vehicles travel on open equipment. Confirm the carrier’s trailer configuration, loading capability and space for the specific vehicle, including modifications and overall dimensions.

Enclosed auto transport

State enclosed transport as a requirement when it is needed. Discuss interior clearance, loading method and handling expectations. An enclosed trailer does not remove the need to confirm cargo coverage and condition records.

Non-running or damaged vehicles

Disclose whether the vehicle can roll, steer and brake, and identify damage or missing components that affect loading. Winching or other equipment may be needed; the carrier must confirm suitability before collection.

Specialty vehicles & fleet units

Collector cars, modified vehicles and commercial units may have unusual dimensions, clearance or handling requirements. For fleet moves, provide unit-level information rather than assuming every vehicle is identical.

This page concerns vehicles carried as freight. A request to have a vehicle driven to its destination is a different service arrangement and should not be assumed to be included.

From posting to delivery

Compare the offer.
Confirm the details. Award the load.

Logistware supports the freight workflow. The shipper, broker and carrier remain responsible for agreeing on the transportation arrangement and performing the move.

  1. Post & review

    The shipper or broker describes the vehicle shipment. Carriers review postings against their lanes, availability and equipment.

  2. Bid & counter

    Carriers place bids. The shipper or broker can accept, reject or counter while clarifying price, timing and handling expectations.

  3. Award & assign

    Once the offer is accepted and the load awarded, the carrier can assign a driver and confirm collection and delivery instructions.

  4. Track & complete

    Use active tracking, shipment communication and document exchange to follow the move and keep delivery records with the load.

More than a vehicle listing

Keep the freight team
connected to the shipment.

Live freight chat

Clarify vehicle readiness, release instructions and appointments directly with shipment participants. Keep operational questions close to the load.

Document exchange

Share bills of lading, proof of delivery, vehicle photos and supporting records. The transportation parties still perform and agree on the actual condition inspection.

Dispatch console

Carrier teams can organize dispatchers and drivers and assign awarded shipments. Shippers can involve their dispatchers in managing freight activity.

Real-time tracking

Follow the shipment when tracking is enabled and location updates are available. Visibility depends on the participating device, permissions and connectivity.

Vehicle records and transportation responsibilities

A clear record at pickup.
A clear handover at delivery.

Agree on the condition-reporting process before collection. Identify existing damage, note relevant vehicle details and establish who can release and receive each unit. Confirm expectations for keys, accessories and personal belongings.

At delivery, the responsible parties should review the vehicle and complete the agreed handover records. Digital photos and shared documents support that process; they do not replace an inspection or determine responsibility for damage.

Logistware’s manual member review provides additional business and account context. It is not car-hauler certification or a guarantee of insurance or carrier performance.

Confirm before booking

  • Current operating authority and the transport provider’s identity.
  • Cargo insurance suitable for the vehicle values and shipment, including relevant limits and exclusions.
  • Equipment, loading capability and required vehicle protection.
  • Rate, currency, payment terms, waiting time and cancellation arrangements.
  • Pickup and delivery access, contacts and release instructions.

Carriers handle loading, securement and vehicle operation. Logistware provides load board tools, not the physical transportation or vehicle inspection.

Canada, the United States and cross-border lanes

A cross-border vehicle move
needs more than a truck.

Use Logistware to post and review relevant vehicle freight across its North American load board. Before booking a Canada–U.S. move, establish who handles the vehicle’s import and export requirements, ownership documents and customs arrangements.

Vehicle admissibility and border requirements depend on the particular vehicle and movement. Confirm the current requirements with the relevant authorities and responsible service providers before scheduling pickup.

See Transport Canada’s vehicle import guidance, U.S. CBP’s vehicle export guidance and U.S. CBP’s vehicle import guidance as applicable.

Auto transport questions

What shippers and car haulers need to know.

What is an auto transport load board?

It is a way for vehicle shippers and freight brokers to post transportation requirements while car haulers review available loads and potential equipment fit. On Logistware, vehicle freight uses the same account and load board as other freight categories.

Can I find car hauling loads through Logistware?

Carriers can review posted shipment opportunities and bid on vehicle loads that match their lanes, timing and equipment. Availability depends on what members post; no specific load volume or return load is guaranteed.

Can dealerships, auctions and fleet operators post vehicles?

Yes. Shippers and freight brokers can post vehicle-transport requirements. Include the vehicle details, quantity, operability, pickup and delivery information and requested transport method so carriers can evaluate the move.

Can I request open or enclosed transport?

State your required transport method in the shipment information and confirm it directly with the carrier before awarding the load. Carrier availability and the suitability of particular equipment must be checked for each shipment.

What about a vehicle that does not run?

Describe its actual condition, including whether it rolls, steers and brakes. Explain any known loading issues. A carrier must confirm the equipment and handling plan; posting the vehicle does not guarantee that a suitable truck is available.

Does Logistware inspect vehicles or guarantee cargo insurance?

No. The responsible transportation parties handle vehicle inspections, condition reports, loading and delivery acceptance. Verify current authority and appropriate insurance directly; Logistware’s member review is not an insurance guarantee.

Is auto transport a separate Logistware product?

No. It is a vehicle-freight use case within the main Logistware Load Board, connected to the same bidding, chat, document, dispatch and tracking tools.
