One clear sequence
01 - Tell us the shipment
Provide the origin, destination, vehicle details, condition, timing and transport preference. The more accurate the information, the more useful the quote.
02 - We Review the Carrier Market
Vehicle & Equipment Transport is a live carrier market. Route demand, equipment, vehicle condition and timing all affect what qualified carriers will accept. Axle Lane reviews those factors before dispatch.
03 - Carrier Match & Verification
We work to match the shipment with a motor carrier and verify active authority and insurance information before dispatch
04 - You Review the Dispatch
You receive the assigned carrier information, confirmed transportation details and pickup expectations before the shipment is dispatched
05 - Pickup & Bill of Lading
At pickup, the vehicle's condition should be inspected and documented on the carrier's Bill of Lading / condition report. Keep a copy and take your own timestamped photos.
06 - Transit & Coordination
Axle Lane remains available to coordinate communication and address changes or issues between the customer and carrier.
07 - Delivery & Final Inspection
Inspect the vehicle before signing the delivery documentation. Note any new damage on the Bill of Lading before the carrier leaves and retain photos and documents
