SHIPPING ANY VEHICLE, ANYWHERE, ANYTIME.

Auto Shipping. Not Your Average Industry.

The Auto Shipping Industry is unique. So it demands a unique customer experience. In the Auto Shipping world, two distinct groups of Shipping Specialists are in constant negotiation; the Brokers and the Carriers. In order to get your vehicle transported, you’ll need to team up with a Broker to find the best Carrier for the job. We call this the Client-Broker Alliance.

Through this back and forth exchange with a national network of Carriers competing for your business, your Yellowfin Broker will ensure that shipping your vehicle is easy and affordable.

HOW AUTO SHIPPING WORKS

THE CLIENT-BROKER ALLIANCE

STEP 1

Free Consultation

Request a quote and a Designated Auto Shipping Advisor will be assigned to you. Your Advisor will do an assessment of the current market trends that could affect pricing and carrier availability. This assessment helps your Advisor better negotiate with Carriers on your behalf and will ensure you are informed of what to expect going forward.

STEP 2

Place An Order

Once you book Yellowfin as your Broker, our Dispatch Department will start working on your order. Your Advisor will inform you when Carriers express interest in shipping your vehicle. As these are merely offers, you are not obliged to accept any bid that does not meet your schedule or budget priorities.

STEP 3

Book Your Carrier

Once you accept an offer, a Shipping Agreement will be finalized and your spot reserved with the Carrier. All terms will be outlined in this document for your review and signature.

STEP 4

Confirm Pick-Up

A Dispatch Notice provides all contact information for your Carrier. It is recommended that you call your Carrier prior to the pickup date to confirm all arrangements directly with the Driver they’ve assigned to you. Your Yellowfin Advisor is available should you need any additional assistance.

STEP 5

Vehicle Transportation

The Carrier is required to keep you updated on the status of your shipment prior to pick-up and delivery. However, your Yellowfin Advisor remains available to you at all times to address any concerns or assist with status updates.

STEP 6

Delivery

The Carrier will do a final inspection of your vehicle and will document this in the Bill of Lading (BOL). Sign the BOL after you’ve personally confirmed the condition of the vehicle. Payment to the Carrier is made on delivery in cash, cashiers cheque or money order.

WHAT WE OFFER

Open-Carriers

Open shipping services are in highest demand as it is the fastest to schedule and the most economical. Your vehicle is loaded onto an open trailer with roughly 10 other vehicles. These vehicles are tightly strapped in and secured. An Open-Trailer does not offer much protection from the elements.

Enclosed-Carriers

This offers a higher degree of security and protection for your vehicle as it is loaded with only a few other vehicles and is completely protected from the elements. Enclosed-Trailer shipments are charged at a premium rate and slightly more difficult to schedule.

Door-To-Door

Also known as house-to-house, this shipping service ensures your Carrier will transport your vehicle from and to any address you specify.

Industry Experts

We have a diverse team of Auto Shipping Specialists who have extensive experience under the hood. You can be confident in the fact that your vehicle is being handled by industry veterans. Our experts will facilitate the entire process from booking straight through to having your vehicle delivered to your door.

Dedicated Advisors

From the very first point of contact, you will have a Dedicated Auto Shipping Advisor assigned to your order. Your Advisor will walk you through every step of the process to ensure your shipping experience flows seamlessly from point A to point B.

Custom Solutions

We know that every shipment is unique. Our team of experts work tirelessly to ensure you are provided with custom-built solutions for every situation. In a volatile industry, you can trust that the full weight of our expertise will ensure your vehicle gets to you safely.

Open Daily

Our Dispatch Team is available 7 days a week, 9am-8pm EST. Should your Shipping Advisor be unavailable, you’ll be forwarded to our switchboard for further assistance. Call our switchboard directly at (888) 223-5038 toll free.

Insurance Coverage

Insurance coverage for your vehicle is included in your quote and is held by the Carrier. We ensure our network of Carriers are fully insured at all times.

15K+ Carriers

We coordinate all shipments through a large network of licensed Auto Shipping Carriers nationwide. All Carriers are legally required to be fully licensed, insured and with USDOT credentials.

AUTO TRANSPORT

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?

Special accommodation must be made for vehicles which are heavier, longer or taller than the average sedan. These vehicles will therefore be more expensive to ship.

Inoperable vehicles will require special equipment for loading purposes. It’s important that your inoperable vehicle can still roll, steer and brake in order for it to be loaded with a winch. These vehicles will cost more to ship.

Major towns and cities will have a lot more Carriers operating in the area. This results in lower costs than for more rural locations. Adding certain rural locations to a shipping route may require the Carrier to make a detour off its regular trucking lane. This additional time and fuel is added to your overall quote.

Shorter distances are more economical overall but are charged at a higher rate per mile. Longer distances are more expensive overall but are charged at a lower rate per mile.

When many vehicles wait for transportation on a route with limited Carriers being available, then prices for transportation start to increase due to the bidding wars that may occur between customers who want their vehicle loaded first as a priority shipment.

Shipping a vehicle during the winter months will be more expensive due to the adverse effects of snow and ice on many Trucking Lanes.

PRIOR TO TRANSPORT

PREPPING YOUR VEHICLE

Document the condition of your vehicle. Be sure to inform the driver if it has any leaks or mechanical problems.

Gas tank can be filled up to 1/4 full. Top off all fluids in the vehicle.

Remove custom products and removable items (leave your spare tire & jack). Remove or deactivate Toll tags and Parking Passes.

Disable or leave instructions for any security systems installed in your vehicle.

Make sure your battery has a full charge. Tires to be fully inflated.

You can ship up to 100lbs of your personal belongings inside the trunk of the car. Make sure to receive pre-approval prior to pickup.

I had a problem to transport my favorite car (a gift from my father) from NY to Miami! Then I accidentally stumbled on Yellowfin logistics LLC on the net. John the guy who was there for me and my thousand questions did everything like a charm. I recommend both the company and John at most 5 stars for everything and thanks again for everything!

For three years and counting, Yellowfin Logistics has been my go-to for cross-country car shipments, impressing me with their punctuality and reliability over seven different moves.
Their representative Tiana deserves a special mention. Always finding me the best rates and being incredibly responsive, she has played a huge part in making each transaction with Yellowfin a delightful experience.
Whether it’s the convenience of pickup and delivery scheduling or their affordable pricing, Yellowfin Logistics continues to outshine with their impeccable service. I look forward to many more hassle-free moves with them in the years to come.

oh man, where do I start? this is my third time shipping this car and it has always been a messy experience. This time I was so overwhelmed by brokers that I started thinking I shouldn’t even ship it. John was super consistent and wrote me even after I got scammed. I returned 2 brokers calls and they were extremely rude telling me I will never get it picked up. I responded to John that day, he had a driver for me the next day.
I honestly thought he’s playing games too because they all said that to me. It was exactly what I wanted to pay and he even let me pay deposit in credit card which is much easier. The driver Ed was the sweetest! He was so communicative and loves his job.
I am so happy I went with John!!!

Really enjoyed working with Milan at Yellowfin logistic Truck Broker. Was a straight shooter. Did Exactly what he said...and got a GOOD trucking company who were Very Good. The cost was on the lower end of the middle prices and they didn't do a bail and switch LIKE SO MANY Others! Very close to 5 stars, but all prices are high and tracking the progress could have been better by the company they selected. Thx
