His background brings the operational depth that separates CarShippers.ai's carrier vetting, auction pickup coordination, and SLA commitments from brokers running on retail lead-generation playbooks.
LinkedInAuto transport, rebuilt around AI — not bolted onto a broken industry
CarShippers.ai is an AI-native, FMCSA-licensed auto transport broker operating across all 50 US states. We do not own trucks. We match vehicles with the best available licensed carrier using AI — and a human expert reviews every quote before it reaches you.
Auto transport has two problems. One root cause.
For retail customers: bait-and-switch quotes, surprise price hikes after booking, no-show carriers, and zero visibility once the truck leaves. Industry review data shows bait-and-switch pricing is the #1 complaint across the sector.
For businesses: dealers, fleet managers, and HR teams get no portal, no reporting, no API, no consolidated invoicing — just a phone number and a prayer.
Both problems share one root cause: auto transport brokerage is still run on phone calls, spreadsheets, and margin-maximising quote practices inherited from a pre-internet industry. CarShippers.ai was built on the other assumption — rebuild the broker from the carrier-match layer up using AI, and the transparency, batch booking, visibility, and price-lock guarantees fall out as natural consequences. Not features. Outputs of how the system works.
Three operating principles: transparency, intelligence, infrastructure
No marketing fluff — these are operational commitments.
Transparency
The price you are quoted is the price you pay.
Our quote engine uses live carrier market data — not historical averages, not margin-maximising lead-gen pricing. We publish route pricing ranges at /pricing. We do not take payment until a carrier is assigned. If we cannot match your job at the quoted price, we tell you before you commit.
Intelligence
AI matches each shipment to the best-fit carrier — not the closest or cheapest.
Our match engine evaluates every available carrier against the specific route, vehicle, and timing of each shipment. It weighs on-time record, damage history, insurance limits, equipment type, lane familiarity, and current position. A human expert reviews every quote before it goes out.
Infrastructure
B2B was built for businesses — not bolted onto a consumer product.
Dealer accounts include batch booking, API integration with DMS and TMS platforms, consolidated monthly invoicing with cost-centre coding, agreed SLA terms, and a named account manager. Our dealers set up once and ship thirty vehicles a month in single transactions.
Built by a team that knows both sides of the problem
CarShippers.ai was founded in 2025 by three co-founders who combine decades of auto-transport industry operations with enterprise-scale AI and platform engineering. The partnership reflects the company's core thesis: fixing auto transport requires both deep industry knowledge of how shipments actually move, and the technical capability to rebuild the broker's operating layer from scratch. Neither alone is enough.

"AI-native" is a specific technical claim — here is what we mean
CarShippers.ai was designed from the first line of code around AI carrier matching, AI pricing intelligence, and AI customer service automation — not as features added to a traditional broker CRM. Our head of technology is a co-founder, not a hired CTO brought in after the company found a product. This matters because retrofitting AI onto a traditional broker stack produces marketing claims; building the broker around AI produces the operational outcomes we actually deliver: 30-minute quotes, price-lock guarantees, carrier matches that beat human dispatchers, and a dealer API that works.
Carrier match engine
Ranks every available carrier against your specific route, vehicle, timing, and risk profile. Matches on fit, not proximity.
Pricing intelligence
Live carrier market data — not historical averages. Quote reflects what a carrier will actually accept on your lane today.
Monitoring & alerts
Real-time GPS, condition check-ins, and anomaly detection across every active shipment. Escalates before you notice the issue.
Dealer API
Batch bookings, automated dispatch, and condition reports flow directly into DMS/TMS platforms. No PDF in sight.
