Tips for Shipping Your Car in Winter
As a seasonal industry, Car Shipping experiences its busiest times during the warmer months with a decidedly slower pace in the coldest ones. These changes
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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

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!
Read MoreFor 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.
Read Moreoh 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!!!

Read MoreReally 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
