Becoming Familiar with CENTRAL DISPATCH

When scheduling the transport of your vehicle, you are likely to hear companies make reference to Central Dispatch, “Central”, or what is sometimes just referred to as “the board”. It is important for you- the consumer, to understand the role Central Dispatch plays in making the transport of your vehicle successful.

What is Central Dispatch?

Since 1999 Central Dispatch® has become an integral part in the way Red Carpet Auto Transport connects with car carriers.

As your broker, I will list all of your relevant vehicle information, including vehicle type and year, mileage that your car will be traveling, and what you are offering on a cost- per- mile bases to a carrier on the Central Dispatch site.

Carriers in turn rely on Central Dispatch and Red Carpet Auto Transport to build their loads and schedule their routes. They will select their load capacity based on route, cost per mile and truck space.

How Central Dispatch facilitates the transport of your vehicle

Central Dispatch is an important component in setting an accurate quote to transport your vehicle. A cost per mile precedent can quickly be referenced on Central Dispatch for your route and type of vehicle. A similar offer will be made on your behalf by Red Carpet Auto Transport to the over 5,000 carriers in the United States.

Carriers will then contact our dispatch department to request that your vehicle be part of their load capacity. Red Carpet Auto Transport will then begin the scheduling, conduct an insurance verification on the carrier and begin communication with the carrier on your behalf.

Navigating effectively on Central Dispatch

It is important that the company you are working with has a staff that can navigate effectively through the thousands of vehicles listed on Central Dispatch. I will be able to reference Central Dispatch to accurately quote a price to transport your vehicle. Central Dispatch has become the most reliable resources to go to for a reference in real time of what the market value is to transport your vehicle.

Remember that an under quoted vehicle has the potential of not being scheduled for transport by carriers. For more information go to: How to quote your vehicle.
