About the operation.

MyAuto1 Transport is a one-desk dispatch practice. I coordinate vehicle movement on behalf of a small roster of repeat clients — dealer groups with out-of-market trades, relocation managers, collectors, estate executors — and I write publicly about the trade because the trade deserves better writing than it usually gets.

What this is

A working journal. Posts are drafted between dispatches and published when I think they're useful. I do not take sponsorships, I do not run affiliate links to load boards or insurance products, and I do not publish shipping quotes on this site. The journal exists because after fourteen years of this work I had filled four legal pads with the same answers to the same questions, and it seemed more efficient to write them down once.

What this is not

Not a brokerage website. Not a quote engine. Not a marketing funnel. If you have arrived here looking for an instant rate on a vehicle move, this is not the right site, and I do not have a recommendation to send you to — the honest answer is that you should talk to two or three established brokers who will ask questions about your specific car and route before they quote you a number. Anyone who quotes a Lamborghini Huracán and a 2012 Camry at the same per-mile rate is not vetting the load.

About the practice itself

The book is capped at fourteen recurring accounts: eleven dealer groups spread across the tri-state and Main Line corridor, two relocation management firms, one estate-and-collection attorney in Fairfield County. When an account rotates off — usually because a GM moves, sometimes because we cut each other loose — the open slot fills from the waiting list in the order the introduction came in. The practice runs particular depth on Midwest-to-Southeast dealer trades and the Phoenix-to-Greenwich enclosed collector corridor, and it runs thin on anything west of Kingman.

In a typical week the desk sees twelve to eighteen active loads — a mix of two-car hard-side enclosed for the collector work, nine-car open for dealer trades on the I-80 and I-40 corridors, and an occasional hotshot on a three-car wedge when something has to move faster than the big haulers allow. I do not dispatch auction runs on volume. I tried that year once. It was the wrong year.

On the dispatch desk itself

Two monitors, a paper dispatch log that I still keep by hand for reasons I cannot fully justify, a printer that jams on BOLs longer than three pages, and a laminated map of the lower 48 with pushpins for the seven terminals I use most often. The pushpins move. The map is eight years old and has survived two house moves. The carrier relationship binder — a three-ring with tabs for each recurring carrier, their declarations page, their operating history printout, and the handwritten note on what happened the last time we ran a load together — is the single most important object in the room.

On attribution

Posts on this journal may be quoted with attribution. If something here was useful in your own work — a checklist adapted for your drivers, a framework borrowed for training materials — that's the point of writing it down in public. A link back is appreciated but not required.

On contact

The journal does not accept inbound work through the website. Existing dealer desks know which extension to hit and when not to. If you found this site because a GM or a service-writer forwarded a post, ask them for the handoff — the waiting list orders itself the day the forwarded email lands, and there's no way to jump it by emailing me first. New accounts open when an account closes, and the rotation lately has run about one a quarter.
