Ship.Cars, a software provider for car hauling companies, and Auction Direct Transport (ADT), a nationwide auto transport broker, recently started a partnership that gives ADT‘s carrier network access to the Ship.Cars platform.
Users get at a discounted monthly rate, enabling them to streamline dispatch operations, receive real-time load alerts, and boost their profitability.
“ADT is a high-volume shipper that is vital to the economy,” said Eftim Eftimov, president of Ship.Cars, in a July 15 news release. “This provides ADT carriers with tools that drive efficiency, streamline dispatch, and help them generate more revenue.”
By using the Ship.Cars SmartHaul TMS, carriers can manage their entire workflow, from booking loads to invoicing, all in one place — saving them valuable time and effort.
Additionally, the platform offers a suite of smart tools that leverage AI and automation to eliminate manual tasks, digitize paperwork, optimize routes, and improve operational efficiency. When using the Ship.Cars Market Load Board, carriers will receive real-time alerts as soon as ADT loads become available, ensuring they never miss a load or revenue opportunity.
“We recognize the industry is becoming increasingly competitive, making it more difficult for carriers to gain an advantage,” said Craig Bramer, vice president and general manager at Auction Direct Transport. “This partnership with Ship.Cars offers carriers a TMS with best-in-class features at a rate that is lower than many load management platforms in the marketplace. The ability to centralize their entire operation and eliminate some of the administrative burden will help carriers grow their business.”
