Join Our Carrier Network

Access thousands of direct loads, get paid within 48 hours, and grow your business with AI-powered route matching. No middlemen, no runaround.

Why Carriers Choose Our Network

The auto transport industry has too many layers between the shipper and the carrier. Brokers subcontract to other brokers, payment takes 30 to 45 days, and drivers waste hours calling dispatch offices to find their next load. We built our marketplace to eliminate that friction. When you join the American Auto Shipping carrier network, you get direct access to loads posted by shippers — no intermediary brokers inflating the chain. You bid directly, you win directly, and you get paid directly.

Our network currently includes over 20,000 verified carriers operating across all 50 states. Whether you run a single 3-car hauler or a fleet of 50 trucks, the platform scales to your operation. Loads range from standard sedans to exotic vehicles, motorcycles, boats, and heavy equipment — giving you flexibility to take what fits your equipment and route.

How the Bidding System Works

When a shipper posts a load on our marketplace, it becomes visible to carriers in the relevant origin area. You see the pickup location, delivery location, vehicle type, preferred dates, and any special requirements (enclosed, inoperable, oversized, etc.). If the load fits your route, you submit a bid with your price and estimated pickup date.

Shippers can see your bid alongside competing offers from other carriers. They choose based on price, your rating, your reviews, and your estimated timeline. There is no back-and-forth negotiation through a broker — the shipper accepts your bid and the load is yours.

Auto-Bidding

Set your preferred routes, maximum distance from your current position, vehicle types you haul, and your target price per mile. When loads match your criteria, the system bids on your behalf automatically. You wake up with loads already assigned — no manual searching required.

Proximity Alerts

Get notified when a load is posted near your current GPS position or along your planned route. If you are delivering in Miami and a load to Atlanta posts 10 miles from your drop-off, you get an instant notification — letting you fill your truck for the return trip instead of deadheading.

Requirements to Join

We verify every carrier on our platform to ensure shippers get reliable, professional service. Here is what you need:

Active FMCSA motor carrier authority (MC number) — no pending or revoked status.
Minimum insurance coverage: $750,000 cargo insurance and $1,000,000 general liability. Higher limits are preferred for high-value loads.
Satisfactory safety rating from FMCSA, or "Not Rated" with a clean inspection history. Conditional or Unsatisfactory ratings are not accepted.
Valid operating authority for at least 6 months. Newer carriers may qualify with strong references from other platforms.
Active BOC-3 filing (process agent designation).

Once you submit your application, our team verifies your credentials against the FMCSA SAFER database within 24 to 48 hours. Approved carriers gain immediate access to the load board and can start bidding right away.
