The post-booking timeline
Hours 1–24: carrier matching
Our system searches Highway-verified carriers running your route who have the right equipment. The matching algorithm evaluates reliability scores, insurance status, safety records, and schedule fit.
24–48 hours before pickup: notification
You get the carrier's information and a specific pickup window. For Expedited, this happens within hours of booking.
Pickup day
Carrier arrives, performs the digital photo inspection, walks the vehicle with you, has you sign the electronic BOL, and loads. 15–30 minutes total.
Transit
GPS is active. You get milestone notifications at every stage. Carriers average 400–500 miles/day.
Delivery
24–48 hours notice. Final photo inspection. You confirm condition. Card is charged. Done.
What you should do after booking
- Watch for the carrier notification — confirm contact info is correct.
- Prep the vehicle: clean exterior, remove personal items, ¼ tank of gas, disable alarm.
- Save your tracking link.
- Be available (or designate someone) for the pickup and delivery windows.
