Carpool Logistics will be at Used Car Week in San Diego, November 16–19, and on Tuesday afternoon Tony MacDonald takes the main stage to talk about the part of the remarketing process that still runs on trust: who actually picks up the car.
Who's Really Picking Up Your Car? Fraud, Theft and Chain of Custody in Vehicle Transport
Tony MacDonald, VP of Sales, Carpool Logistics
Tuesday, November 17, 4:00–4:30 PM, Main Stage
Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego
The session is recorded for the Auto Remarketing podcast, so if you are at the show but in another room at four o'clock, you will be able to hear it afterward.
Auctions and dealers have spent years tightening the paperwork side of a release. The gate pass, the buyer confirmation, the carrier's insurance certificate. What most of that paperwork does not do is confirm that the person standing at the gate is the driver the carrier dispatched. Tony will walk through how fake carrier pickups, double-brokered loads, and carrier impersonation get through processes that look complete on paper, what a release record has to contain to hold up in a dispute, and what identity-verified release looks like in practice. He will show how Carpass fits into an existing gate process without replacing it: a gate pass clears the vehicle, Carpass clears the driver.
If you want the written version ahead of time, two recent posts cover the same ground: The Complete Guide to Auto Auction Pickup Verification and Dealership Vehicle Pickup Fraud Prevention Guide.
Tony, Todd, and Paul from the Carpool team will be at the show all week. If you run transportation for an auction or a dealer group and want to talk through a specific lane, a release problem, or what Carpass would look like at your gate, reach out to Tony before the show or find any of them on site.
Used Car Week is Cherokee Media Group's annual gathering of the pre-owned industry, combining the Auto Remarketing, Repo, and Used Car Dealer conferences under one roof. Carpool is a Bronze sponsor of the 2026 event.
