Vehicle Transportation Marketplace Built for Dealerships

How AHX Marketplace Works for Dealer Groups

Auto Hauler Exchange (AHX) is the first true vehicle transportation marketplace built for dealers who are fed up with broker markups, slow timelines, and a lack of visibility into their shipments. With AHX, you post shipments, connect directly with 5,500+ vetted carriers, and see exactly what you’re paying the carrier—no broker manipulation, no hidden margins.

How it works:

• Post a shipment (single or multi-vehicle) in seconds via the AHX dashboard.
• Instantly matched: Carriers book shipments fast. The median listing time to booking is under 24 hours, with average time from order to pickup just 2 days.
• Direct connection: Communicate with the carrier, upload documents, and track the shipment from your dashboard.
• Transparent pricing: You set the price paid to the carrier and have visibility into the fixed AHX fee, no surprises.
• Easy payments: AHX consolidates payments and handles all carrier payouts. No W-9 or insurance paperwork for you.

Speed, Cost, and Compliance

Faster Turn, Faster Gross

Vehicles posted to AHX are matched to carriers through a network of over 5,500 fully-vetted carriers, allowing most shipments to be picked up within 24 to 48 hours of being listed. Actual delivery averages just 4 days from listing to vehicle arrival, thanks to instant booking and direct access to carrier schedules. For dealers buying at auction, this speed means you’re able to receive, inspect, and recondition vehicles before critical arbitration windows close, helping you avoid costly claims and sell inventory while it’s still fresh. Instead of waiting weeks and risking depreciation, your team can photograph and list vehicles immediately, accelerating inventory turn and improving cash flow.

Cut Costs, Not Corners

AHX removes hidden broker markups and posts the actual price paid to the carrier, letting you set the market rate and see exactly where every dollar goes. Dealers typically see 15–20% savings compared to broker-managed shipments and 18–23% savings over non-contractual auction transport. These cost reductions come from eliminating unnecessary fees and from minimizing the days your capital is tied up in inventory, which lowers both holding costs and floorplan interest. Every carrier is continually monitored for insurance and compliance; and AHX’s support team ensures paperwork is always up to date. You spend less, move faster, and never have to worry about regulatory gaps or insurance lapses holding up delivery.

A 90-day proof-of-concept moved thousands of vehicles and proved material savings. In one OEM pilot AHX moved a few thousand units and (using billed data and bay-allocation avoidance) showed roughly $895k to $1M in total savings over 90 days; the marketplace also kept that OEM under its contracted bay-allocation thresholds while lowering spot-buy spend.

Features Dealers Care About

Digital BOL & Instant Paperwork

With Auto Hauler Exchange, every step of the shipping process is managed through a single, intuitive dashboard designed for speed and control. Dealers can upload and retrieve all key shipment documents including digital bills of lading, gate passes, and delivery confirmations at any time. This centralized system also streamlines claims management, letting you handle paperwork and status updates without chasing emails or tracking down carriers off-platform.

Carrier Tracking & Direct Communication

Live carrier tracking is built in from pickup to delivery, providing real-time ETAs and route updates so you always know exactly where your vehicle is. This level of visibility not only improves planning and customer communication but also lets your team spot potential issues before they become problems. If you ever need to resolve a delay or clarify instructions, you have the direct contact information for the carrier moving your shipment—no brokers acting as a go-between, no waiting for callbacks, just fast, effective answers straight from the source.

Market Pricing Tools

The AHX dashboard also empowers you with market pricing tools that use historical and real-time data to suggest optimal rates for your posted shipments. You can adjust your offer on the fly to ensure your vehicles move quickly, and you’ll see clear reporting and analytics that help you track spend, delivery times, and carrier performance across your entire operation. All these features are designed to keep you in control, deliver transparency, and eliminate the hidden headaches and inefficiencies that slow down traditional vehicle logistics.

Inspection photos uncovered a hail event and paused a ~500-unit lift. During a proof-of-concept, one dealer used the AHX dashboard to review time-stamped inspection photos, discovered hail damage, and immediately paused shipment of nearly 500 vehicles until repairs could be completed. It prevented costly downstream claims and rework.
