Vehicle claims are won or lost on condition records
Auto transport lives on before-and-after proof. Without VIN logging, multi-angle photos, and a timestamped delivery record, a scratched bumper becomes a he-said dispute. Dealers and fleets also need both models: open-market bids for one-offs and contracted capacity for steady lane volume.
Platform approach
How Shipmater runs auto moves
Every auto job can carry VIN and condition fields. Photo capture at pickup and delivery builds an irrefutable record. Filter carriers by auto experience, share live tracking with the buyer or receiving dealer, and keep contracted partners ready for recurring fleet work.
Built for this industry
VIN and condition fields
Log identity and pre-move condition on the job so the record travels with the vehicle, not in a separate form.
Mandatory photo evidence
Pickup and delivery photos — exterior angles and interior — create a permanent before-and-after file.
Open market + contracted
Bid out one-off private moves or assign directly to dealership and fleet partners under standing rates.
Auto-experienced carriers
Ratings and profile data help you prefer operators who actually haul vehicles, not general freight only.
Buyer-visible tracking
Share a live tracking link so the receiving party watches the same map your desk sees.
Evidence-based disputes
When condition is contested, the timestamped photo set is the source of truth — not memory.
