Soon to be a competitor (My Speculation) Giant Uship, already with a 640% gain in size for 2012 as to the number of new broker and carrier registrations, has launched Uship PRO. A new program for brokers that ship more vehicles with Uship, also Uship has just inter-graded with Auto Broker Dispatch, the now 2nd largest Transport management System (TMS) Leaving the outdated carriersoft in the dust at number 3.
But that's not all!!
So You think Uship will stop there? NO WAY! Uship will most likely want to get there greedy little hands on (DealerTrak's) Jtracker's piece of the pie.
WHAT AM I TALKING ABOUT?
My speculation is Uship PRO will soon have the feature to import leads and become a TMS Itself. With a much more competitive pricing structure and Giant EBAY as a parent company, the design and integration could leave Jtracker sitting around feeling like Carriersoft.....
Looks like Jtrackers former owner Wayne was a Smart man and saw this all coming and decided to jump ship while he could. My advice: Short dealertrak's Stock and go long on Ebay for 2013!
The broker bond has been raised from $10,000 to $75,000. Transport companies are required to be more transparent in the payment of claims by bonds and trusts. All motor carriers, freight forwarders and brokers must register for each function performed. What Does this Mean? Less creation of transport companies and Most "Mom and Pops" will be out of business in no time. theirs one people do not have right now Cold hard Cash or impeccable Credit. Bad for Lead Providers. bad for brokers. bad for business...
http://whosmells.com/ But the real story is, look at the almost 100% 5 star reviews on T/R. Who says being a gold member doesn't help. I would be surprised if He paid them 500.00 a month. I love how this guy almost always comes right out of the gate accusing people of being a child molester. Enjoy this for the weekend!!!

Rena Anders Of enterprise auto transport Might just be one of the Most Annoying People I've ever encountered. She is accusing a lead provider of not sending her leads when she keeps giving them wrong card numbers. and then goes on to threaten with attorneys. This Lady is an absolute time waster and should be committed to the nut house. Well you just read for yourselves:
Dear Sir, I am writing this in regards to numerous emails I have recieved from a company called All Pro Auto Transport. I have a very good reputation in this industry and I feel this company is trying to use your website as a bullying tool to get me to buy leads from him. I have cc'd Superflo Systems on this email and if you see below they have sent me an email stating no leads were ever received from this lead provider yet the lead provider is trying to charge me.
I have gotten numerous emails from Michael. I have never been unprofessional and am tired of being called a bitch, scumbag of the week and all the other things he is stating. I signed a contract with Michael to purchase leads. I lost my credit card two times (see attached) I told Michael wait til I get my new credit card and we will start the leads.
Around that time he called Mark at Superflo stating I owed him money and that he needed my email address to send me leads. Mark gave him the email but as you can see no leads were sent to me. Michael started to send rude emails to me. I decided I didnt trust him to give him a credit card (between you and I) and I decided to fax him a check. I started to get weirder emails and decided to hold him off while I was on vacation because I did not want to deal with him.
My leads were to start 9/25. I got several email from his marketing saying that he had many open spots to get leads for $1.00. I told him I didnt want to work with him because he called me many names. I can forward you the email. I am appaulled that I am being bullied like this. I can provide you anything you need but I am asking you that before you decide to publish any story calling me some sort of a scumbag like he says you will look into what I am saying.
Why cant Michael be patient and wait for a credit card? Especially when the leads start in more than 10 days. Furthermore, how can I be expected to work with someone who called me every name in the book and says if i dont work with him he will report me to your site. I am doing everything I can to not be in tears. This is ridiculous.
My friend is a prominent attorney. She has stated that she will help me probono if this person tries to post lies about my company on your site. He intends to tell you I owe him money yet he will not provide a bill. Also, I can prove I owe him nothing by showing you our contract. While ther are a great many auto transporters that are bad companies there are many lead providers that are bad. They resell leads and do all sorts of things. Michael is by far the worst lead provider I have ever dealt with. I thank god my contract did not start and that I dont have to deal with him. I have no intention on giving him my credit card or any of my business.
I think your site is a great site. I think it can also be used for harm. I hope that you will not allow this man to bully me or any other companies. He is definitely using your site as a tool to retain customers who owe him nothing but want to not use his service. This i not fair. I fully intend to file a lawsuit against him for any defamatory remarks I find that are not true on the internet. I will not be bullied like this when I have done nothing wrong. I have already consulted an attorney to hire this week if it is needed who is a friend of my family and a prominent attorney where I live. Can you please call me. I can provide you tons of documents that prove I owe him nothing. The email from Mark below should be enough. He is the software company I use to get my leads. Thank you for your time.
Q: I won't make money If I Don’t have a long, positive history with www.transportreviews.com, Right? A: Wrong. 95% of the users on the site, "transport reviews" are Brokers like Yourself. All the sponsored companies are Really pathetic B.S. It's best to ignore transport reviews all together. Don’t make the mistake of adding a link to transport reviews from your web site. This is the root of the problem. This increases Transport Reviews ranking in Google.
Nick Harrington Replied:
"I agree 100%...total contradiction. Transportreviews.com is a excellent guideline/tool to finding a reputable Company. Anyone who bashes or steer's people away from,well, The Largest and most reputable Auto Transport Review site in the United States....are either crazy or have NEGATIVE feedback about their company. THERE'S NO REASON NOT TO GIVE YOUR COMPANY EXTRA EXPOSURE...WHICH ULTIMATELY PUT EXTRA MONEY IN YOUR BANNK ACCOUNT."
When a user searches for your company, TR and this bad review is the 1st thing they see. Great "EXTRA EXPOSURE" dipshit! Just keep doing what you're doing Nick. Keep scamming customers. You'll go far. ;-)
IF YOUR COMPANY CAN COMPETE IN THIS LIST PLEASE SEND A SCREENSHOT OF YOUR 2013 JTRACKER TO AUTOTRANSPORTINDUSTRY@GMAIL.COM

Most Lead Providers are Brokers Folks, Thats Just how the cookie Crumbles. When You Bake Your Own Pie, You want to put Your hands in it, way before others Do. Thats Life!
Michael J Sales of American Auto Shipping, Automobile Shipping Quotes (ASQ), M2 Reeves, etc. is widely known as the cockiest shadeball lead provider in the industry. But his racket is bigger than most may know.
Well - See for yourself.
Hmm… Who's the Owner/Principal of these (2) Auto Transport Brokerages?
Hmm that's a pretty recent review on TR for Weber Auto Transport - 07/25/2013?
Now Wait a just a Cotton Picking minute? Why is his phone number on Auto Broker Dispatch (Superflo Systems) site as "Mike Hampton?"
Why is "Ian" who is a Rep at Auto Broker Dispatch also a Rep for AmericanAutoShipping.com?
Now these Testimonials seem really suspicious all of a sudden. More bed partners perhaps?
Some aspects of his racket:
Buying and reselling used leads from his brokerages as well as other brokers.
His low end CMS AutoBrokerDispatch that he uses to wash leads as well
Preying on new brokers that are dumb enough to partner with him for Consulting under his ridiculous terms like squeezing you for a cut on every car you move for his worthless advice.
Years ago - he convinced 1 unsuspecting individual that was starting a company to name it "Reliable Car Transportation" to ride Reliable Carriers Inc's Coattails and deceive customers. This landed the individual with a whopping $100,000 Judgement. Look it up.
And the list goes on and on.
So think twice before doing business with Michael J Sales or any of his many lead washing aliases/companies.
And to Michael Sales - You should consult someone on changing your Diapers now. You wreak of Shit!
81-year-old Buddy Bortman is on the hunt for justice after, he says, a car transport company recently shipped him nothing but problems. "It’s very aggravating, extremely aggravating," he said. It started last fall. Buddy needed his car shipped from Massachusetts to Florida. When one transport company never showed, he dialed up a company he used before, Transport Services, aka 1 st Choice Auto Transport. The Boca Raton-based company is an online broker that claims to be "one of the most reputable auto relocation companies around," according to its website. But Buddy describes the company a different way. "Crook, out to scam people." That's because, Buddy says, just minutes after he signed on with Transport Services, coincidentally, the other company showed up. So Buddy canceled his order with Transport Services and says he was promised a full refund for the $800 service, he says, he didn’t use. But Buddy says Transport Services didn’t keep its promise. According to Buddy, the company even lied about providing him the service when he took the dispute up with his credit card company. For the past year, the Contact 5 Investigators have been tracking Transport Services online and what appears to be a pattern of leaving customers around the country high and dry. Robin Lenoach, of Chicago, hired the company a few years ago to ship her car to Florida. She says, she paid a deposit but never got the service. “It was nothing but headaches after I paid them their money. They lied to us day after day after day," she says. Andrew Leff, of Pennsylvania, hired Transport Services to ship his car from Texas to Philadelphia a few years ago. But when the car finally arrived more than 2 weeks later, Leff describes what it looked like, “ my car was under four totaled cars, covered in fluid." Leff says his quest for answers went nowhere with the company, so he took matters into his own hands by creating the website: transportservicesonlinesucks.com "I didn't want anyone to experience what I had gone through and I couldn't believe my case was isolated.” 3 years later, his website for the angry and frustrated is still attracting the disappointed and dissatisfied. So is the Better Business Bureau that shows the company, which is not a member, has an F rating. The Contact 5 Investigators have confirmed the Florida Attorney General's office has also fielded complaints, nearly three dozen. Most of the complaints come from customers who claim Transport Services provided them nothing but pricey hassles and costly headaches. While the company does have online supporters who rave about its service, most complaints come from former customers claiming Transport Services provided them nothing but pricey hassles and costly headaches. So what does the company have to say? Calls into the company were not returned so the Contact 5 Investigators stopped by company offices in Boca Raton, where we found President, Jeremy Feller outside. Contact 5 Reporter Katie LaGrone said, "Hey Jeremey, how's it going?" Jeremy Feller: “No comment.” Katie: "Hey Jeremy, why are all these people complaining about you? Why don't you guys just talk to us?" Jeremy Feller opened his office door and shut it, without saying another word. Buddy Bortman was refunded most of his money through his credit card company. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Association is now looking into Transport Services and some of its business practices. Meantime, consumer experts warn before you sign up to have your car shipped this season --do your research-- check online review boards --check to make sure the company you want to use is licensed to do business in your area. -- and finally, if the company refuses to take a credit card, that's your sign to walk away.

I know auto transport companies and reps get a bad rap out there but is this guy serious? A cain, fanny-pack, board shorts and to top it off a towel around his head?? btw nice shirts and nice generic truck with photoshopped "wings" on it, Oh and that tagline, I haven't heard that before. Shout out to Chris in coral springs florida for the picture.
Funniest video I have seen in a while, a broker posted a video of "Morgan freeman" narrating it when it is clearly not, I laughed for a good 5 minutes and you will too!

With the price of oil screaming below $62.00 a barrel, the transport industry benifits tremendously. Both brokers and Carriers profits are on the rise this winter season for what is turning out to be a record Year. Top research analists are calling for oil to go as low as $50.00 per barrel. With all this positvity the future looks bright for 2015, for now.
