Nationwide Auto Shipping

What Nationwide Auto Shipping does

Nationwide Auto Shipping is a U.S.-based, privately held auto transport brokerage headquartered in Springfield that coordinates vehicle shipping services through a network of contracted drivers and brokers rather than operating its own fleet. The company offers a comprehensive service portfolio spanning open and enclosed carrier transport for everyday, exotic, luxury, classic, and motorcycle vehicles, alongside specialized offerings for car dealerships (with Net Terms billing for qualified dealers), auto auction participants (Copart, Manheim, Adessa, IAA, Salvage Direct), eBay Motors internet auction buyers, Alaska and Hawaii shipments, boat transport, and international container/RORO/Flat Rack shipping to destinations across the UK, Europe, Africa, the Americas, the Middle East, Asia, and Oceania. The company does not disclose a proprietary technology platform and operations rely on third-party logistics coordination, broker networks, and driver partnerships, with services transacted through a direct sales model featuring website quote forms and phone-based sales specialists promising callbacks within three hours. Revenue is generated on a per-shipment fee-for-service basis with quote-based pricing determined by distance, vehicle type, shipping method, and seasonal demand factors.
