What is fleet vehicle shipping with full tracking?
Fleet vehicle shipping with full tracking is transport where every unit in motion can be located, every handoff is documented, and the record is available to the fleet manager without a phone call. For a fleet, that matters more than for a single dealer move because the work comes in cohorts: twenty-five units off lease in a month, sixty rental cars repositioned before a season, a de-fleet wave headed to auction with a run date attached. A unit you cannot see is a unit you cannot plan around.
Carpool Logistics is a managed vehicle transport platform that has delivered 450,000+ vehicles and moves 210,000+ a year for fleets, rental operators, remarketing teams, dealers, and auctions. Carpool is the broker of record on every move: we price it, assign a vetted carrier, track it live, and handle the exception if there is one.
What full tracking means on a Carpool Logistics move
- Live location by VIN. 98% of loads carry in-transit GPS tracking points. Every unit has a live tracking link and a dated delivery ETA, and the same data is available in the Carpool portal and by API with outbound webhooks for order and vehicle events.
- Condition documented at both ends. Geo-tagged, timestamped inspection photos at pickup and delivery, and a digital delivery signature captured in the driver's app. For remarketing moves, the pickup record is the baseline for the sale.
- Chain of custody. Carriers are vetted at onboarding and re-verified at every assignment, with driver identity and truck VIN on file. Carpass, Carpool's patent-pending driver verification, is the latest layer: the driver's face is matched to the ID on file inside the pickup geofence before a time-limited release code is issued. Included on Carpool shipments as it rolls out.
- Speed you can schedule around. Median order-to-dispatch was 21 hours in 2025, and 99.75% of vehicles deliver within seven days of pickup. Fewer days in transit is fewer days of depreciation and lot fees.
- Claims handled. 99.8% of vehicles delivered in 2025 arrived claim-free. Every load carries $500K in cargo coverage, and claims run through Carpool's team.
- Reporting across the portfolio. Every move by location, lane, move type, and status, whether the unit is going to a driver, a branch, an upfitter, or an auction lane.
Fleet moves Carpool Logistics runs
| Move type | What it involves | What tracking adds |
|---|---|---|
| Deployment | New units to drivers, branches, or upfitters | Delivery ETA per unit; signature and photos at handoff |
| Rebalancing | Rental and corporate fleet moved between markets, often seasonally | Cohort view by lane; capacity depth for volume waves |
| De-fleet and remarketing | Units out to auction, wholesale buyer, or recon center | Pickup condition record; arrival ahead of the run date |
| EV moves | Battery-electric units, running or inoperable | Running and non-running status captured on the order; thousands of EV moves completed |
Carpool covers all 48 contiguous states and has delivered to Alaska and Hawaii. Truck transport handles long-haul and multi-unit work; for short-haul rebalancing where adding mileage to the asset is acceptable, driveaway can sit alongside it.
