Carpool Logistics (Carpool) is a technology-enabled vehicle transportation brokerage/marketplace that connects vehicle shippers (dealers, auctions, fleets, OEM-adjacent) and vehicle carriers/haulers. Key operational features described by the vendor include:
- Bundling/grouping vehicles to reduce empty miles and potentially lower per-vehicle transport costs.
- Operational visibility via real-time GPS tracking and milestone/status updates.
- Digital workflows such as electronic bills of lading (eBOLs) and photo-based condition reporting (pre/post inspections).
- Carrier-side functionality similar to a load board with a supply of verified jobs and vendor claims about expedited payout processing.
On its site, Carpool positions itself as an alternative to traditional "call/text/email-heavy" auto transport brokerage and load boards, and emphasizes process and documentation as a means to improve reliability and reduce claims. The vendor makes claims around real-time tracking, reduced claims, scaling capability, emissions reductions through improved utilization, and software-driven routing and bundling; these claims are presented by the vendor and were not independently validated in this research.
