What we handle
Once the introduction is made, the dealership is no longer involved in transport operations.
Carrier selection
Choosing only vetted, insured carriers with proven reliability.
Communication
Delivering updates and status reports directly to the buyer.
Coordination
Managing pickup windows, delivery timelines, and logistics.
Claims handling
Processing damage or delivery claims efficiently and fairly.
Issue resolution
Addressing any problems promptly to ensure customer satisfaction.
Mandatory Carrier Requirements
All carriers must have:
- Active and verifiable operating authority
- Valid cargo and liability insurance
- A proven delivery history
- Compliance with federal transport regulations
Carriers that do not meet these requirements are not eligible to transport Safeeds shipments.
Insurance & Coverage Standards
Carrier insurance is a critical component of transport quality and risk management. Safeeds requires carriers to maintain:
- Active cargo insurance appropriate for vehicle transport
- Liability coverage meeting industry standards
- Documentation verified prior to assignment
Insurance compliance is monitored continuously to ensure protection throughout the transport process.
Communication Standards
Clear communication is essential for customer confidence and dealership protection. Safeeds enforces communication standards that require carriers to:
- Respond promptly to scheduling requests
- Confirm pickup and delivery windows
- Communicate delays or issues immediately
Safeeds acts as the primary point of contact, ensuring dealerships are not pulled into transport updates or problem resolution.
Vehicle Handling & Inspection Standards
To protect customers, carriers and dealerships at pickup and delivery carriers are required to:
- Perform standard vehicle condition inspections
- Document pre-existing conditions
- Follow safe loading and unloading procedures
Accurate documentation helps prevent disputes and ensures accountability if issues arise.
Scheduling & Timeline Expectations
Transport timelines vary based on route, distance, and vehicle type. Safeeds sets expectations clearly by:
- Providing realistic pickup windows
- Avoiding over-promising delivery timelines
- Communicating proactively when schedules change
Predictability matters more than speed when protecting dealership relationships.
Issue Resolution Standards
When issues occur, Safeeds manages them directly. Our standards require:
- Immediate notification to the customer
- Direct coordination with the carrier
- Clear communication with the customer
- Resolution without dealership involvement
Dealership staff are not expected to manage transport problems under any circumstances.
Continuous Performance Monitoring
Safeeds continuously evaluates carrier performance based on:
- On-time pickup and delivery
- Communication reliability
- Issue frequency
- Customer feedback
Carriers that fail to meet standards are removed from active assignment pools.
