Car Shipping & Online Technology

Recently I discovered an interesting article on car shipping on how online technology has effected the industry. The piece has some good points, but drops the ball on a few important points and how technology has made the transport and moving industry much more efficient for both consumers and companies alike.

With the invent of online auctions such as ebay motors and online auto classifieds, buying a car online is much more convenient than ever. This gives the consumer more choices and offers up more competitive pricing from dealers and auctioneers.

For the auto shippers and car carriers, it has offered a speedier transition and faster communication, which in turns offers the customer faster delivery service of their newly purchased vehicles. With the invent of GPS and other software planning and tracking devices, the logistics has been greatly improved as in transport as well as improving the trucking companies profit margins and time management.
