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.

THE CLIENT-BROKER ALLIANCE

How car shipping works

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.

CLIENT-CENTRED SERVICE

Our shipping services

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.

How much does car shipping cost?

Car shipping cost depends on a few factors

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

I recently had a non-working Jeep transported from a small town in Colorado to an even smaller town in Arizona, and I couldn't be more pleased with the service. Everything went exactly as promised. There were no delays, no surprises. John kept me updated every step of the way with excellent communication via phone and text. Pickup was quick, the driver was professional and careful, and the car arrived safely and on time. If you're seeking dependable car shipping, this is the way to go. I would use them again, as the process with YellowFin earns 5 stars.

I have used this company a few times now for my car transport as I am a traveling therapist. I have always had the best experience and my car was always picked up and delivered in a timely manner. Athina is a great point of contact and is always very informative and helpful whenever I have questions. The rates are also some of the lowest i’ve seen! Overall, would recommend this company for your car transportation needs!

I have worked with Jason on two separate occasions to move a vehicle that was purchased out of state.

I even attempted to use Shiply and a different shipping agency in between, only because I forgot to save the number from years before for Jason. The shiply website was a bust and didn't list Yellowfin, they all promised fast delivery and couldn't deliver and had slow communication. The one company had my listing for over 2 weeks without even calling me or texting what they were doing.

Jason was fast to text me and showed real flexibility, creativity, and transparency in getting the vehicle shipped. They took the frustration away. When I need to ship another vehicle I will definitely use Yellowfin and Jason again.

Yellowfin Logisitcs was the highlight of our cross country move. We were moving from Las Vegas, NV down to Columbia, SC. We had two vehicles to relocate. Everything from the communication down to the cost was perfect. We had very good communication with everyone involved. Our vehicles were picked up tuesday morning, and we had them down in SC by friday morning. Everyone was extremely professional, and the price was unbeatable. Other companies were quoting me nearly double! Highly reccomend!
