# Auto Hauler Exchange

> Auto Hauler Exchange (AHX) is a direct vehicle transportation marketplace that connects shippers and carriers without brokers — combining the pricing control and speed of a load board with the vetting, accountability, and support of a managed solution.

Auto Hauler Exchange was founded by Royce Neubauer, a 24-year freight brokerage veteran who identified that brokers were the core source of fragmentation in vehicle logistics — keeping shippers and carriers from communicating directly. AHX launched as a marketplace to eliminate that intermediary, enabling direct collaboration between vetted carriers and shippers including dealerships, OEMs, auction houses, and fleet operators.

The platform is trusted by 1,200+ shippers. Key metrics: average 4-day delivery (contiguous USA), 15–20% cost savings vs. broker, under 3 minutes to post a shipment, average 1 day from post to carrier booking. Shippers using AHX report 61% higher satisfaction than other shipping methods.

## Core Value Proposition

- **For Shippers:** Direct access to 5,500+ vetted carriers. Post a shipment in under 3 minutes with market rate estimate guidance. Carriers book instantly or bid back — shipper decides what to accept. Real-time tracking from post to delivery. US-based support team behind every shipment.
- **For Carriers:** Free to join (no subscription fee). Browse and book loads directly from dealers, fleets, auction houses, and OEMs. Quick Pay option: 48-hour ACH after delivery. Standard payment also available.

## Shipper Segments

- **Dealers:** Franchise and independent auto dealers shipping inventory between locations, from auctions, or to customers.
- **OEMs:** Original equipment manufacturers coordinating volume vehicle logistics.
- **Auctions:** Auction houses moving vehicles post-sale to buyers or dealer lots.
- **Fleets:** Fleet operators managing multi-vehicle transportation.
- **Individuals:** Consumer auto transport via AHX Direct (ahxdirect.com).

## How It Works (Shippers)

1. Post a shipment — enter vehicle details, origin, destination, timeline, and price (market estimate tool available).
2. Carriers book at your rate or bid back at a different price; shipper accepts.
3. Real-time tracking from pickup to delivery.
4. Notifications on booking, pickup, and delivery.

## How It Works (Carriers)

1. Create a profile and complete DOT, insurance, and background verification.
2. Browse live shipments from dealers, fleets, auctions, and OEMs.
3. Book loads directly or submit bids.
4. Choose Quick Pay (48-hr ACH) or standard payment.
