When I founded Auto Hauler Exchange (AHX), my vision was clear: eliminate the middleman in vehicle logistics. For far too long, the auto transport industry has been bogged down by brokers who slow the process, add unnecessary costs, and create friction that ultimately hurts shippers and carriers alike. Today, I’m more excited than ever about what lies ahead for AHX as we continue to revolutionize this space.

Our mission is simple, yet transformative: we are bringing transparency to automotive logistics by directly connecting shippers and carriers. No brokers, no hidden fees, and no unnecessary delays. We are creating a true marketplace where both sides of the transaction can engage directly and efficiently — making vehicle transport faster, cheaper, and more transparent for everyone involved.

What’s Next for Auto Hauler Exchange?

As we continue to grow, we’re doubling down on our vision to remove brokers from the equation. Our recent $5M Series A funding round, led by MHS Capital, will play a key role in accelerating our mission. This funding will help us:

  • Expand our market presence: With 5,000+ carriers currently active on the platform, we’re in a position to reach even more regions and grow our network of shippers. This funding will help us expand our carrier base and bring more shippers into the fold.

  • Enhance our platform: We are committed to continually improving the user experience. With this investment, we will further enhance our platform’s capabilities to make it even easier for shippers and carriers to connect, track deliveries, and manage their logistics in real-time.                                                                                                                                                         
  • Expand our product line:  We listen to our customers.  We are a product company and are curious problem solvers at our core.  With this investment, we are expanding our product line beyond logistics, to solve big problems for the finished vehicle industry.

  • Build a stronger team: To support this growth, we’re looking to expand our team with passionate, innovative individuals who share our vision. Whether you’re a developer, operations expert, or sales pro, there’s a place for you at AHX as we continue to disrupt the auto transport industry.

Why Auto Hauler Exchange Works

So why should shippers and carriers make the switch to AHX? There are several clear advantages:

  1. Reduce Waste: By cutting out the broker, AHX reduces dwell time, which means shippers don’t have to pay as much in interest or depreciation. In fact, our cost structure is 15-20% lower than traditional broker-based methods.

  2. Faster Deliveries: With 5,000+ vetted carriers in our network, vehicles listed on AHX average less than 5 days from listing to delivery — a significant improvement over brokered shipments, which often take longer due to inefficient routing and communication.

  3. Increased Transparency: We believe in complete transparency. With AHX, you know exactly how much the carrier is making and what the fee structure is. There are no hidden costs, unlike brokers who typically don’t reveal how much they’re actually paying to the carrier.

  4. Direct Connections: When you use AHX, you’re connected directly to the carrier. This means real-time communication, visibility into the shipping process, and the ability to track vehicles along their route. No more middlemen, just direct, efficient connections.

We’re already seeing the impact of our platform. Hundreds of shippers have made the switch to AHX and are realizing significant savings in both time and money. If you're not already on The Exchange, now is the perfect time to join us and start experiencing the benefits for yourself.

Our Journey Has Just Begun

The auto transport industry is overdue for change. For years, brokers have acted as gatekeepers, slowing the process and driving up costs. At AHX, we’re removing that barrier, bringing real-time efficiency and transparency to the market. We’re excited about what we’ve accomplished so far, and we’re even more excited about the future. With the support of our investors, an incredible team, and a growing network of shippers and carriers, we’re just getting started.
