CarShippers.ai onboarded us in 4 days, gave us a rate card 22% below what we were paying, and their carriers actually know the Manheim Dallas lane. Zero missed gates since. The VAuto API integration saved our used-car admin 6 hours a week." - **Used-car manager**, Franchise dealer | 80 vehicles/month | Dallas-Fort Worth | Verified case study > "Batch booking through the portal saves my desk three hours a week. I used to email each VIN separately to our old broker. Now I upload a CSV after every Copart sale and walk away." - **Operations manager**, Independent | Copart buyer | 35 vehicles/month | Atlanta > "Same account manager every time. She knows our four rooftops, which carriers we will not use, and which lanes we run hot. Consolidated invoice, net-30, performance report by rooftop. This is how dealer transport should work." - **Dealer principal**, Dealer group | 4 rooftops | 180 vehicles/month | Phoenix *READY TO SHIP* ## Ready to Move Off Your Current Broker?
