Jake Horner

Senior Agent

I have been with Mercury since Oct. 2020, working out of Maryland.

I’ve been involved in cargo shipping/trucking with my family business from a young age. Since joining the Mercury Team in 2020, I’ve applied that knowledge to the auto-shipping industry. I use it to connect and create relationships with clients and carriers to achieve the best possible experience delivering your vehicle.

Previously, I worked for 10 years as a law enforcement officer and a detective, which has translated well to the logistics industry and problem resolution. I strive to excel at customer service, problem-solving, and responsiveness.

Please feel free to call me any time at (561) 300-0455. 😁 If it’s off normal business hours, please text me.

Shipping your car should be easy. That’s why we changed how it works.

For years, most brokers — us included — used public load boards. We’d post your shipment and wait for a random carrier to claim it. Prices went up and down. Quotes weren’t guaranteed. And your info could be seen by too many people.

It worked, but it wasn’t the best way.

Now, we use something better: the Mercury Shield Network.
It’s a private, secure system that connects you only with verified, insured carriers we know and trust.

Here’s how it helps you:

  • Guaranteed 3-Day Pickup Window (MVP): Your vehicle gets priority scheduling, confirmed timing, and a locked-in rate.
  • One Payment, One Contract: You pay once by credit card, through Mercury — never to unknown drivers or cash apps.
  • Private, Secure Matching: Your shipment is never exposed on public boards. Only qualified, approved carriers see it.
  • Real People, Real Oversight: Our team monitors every step — from dispatch to delivery — with full accountability.

Instead of gambling on a public board, you’re booking through a safe, closed network built for your peace of mind.

Why We Made the Change

Mercury Shield Network

Over the years, we saw too many customers fall victim to bad industry habits — fake “discount” quotes, cash payments gone wrong, carriers that never showed up.

We decided enough was enough. So we built the Mercury Shield Network to eliminate those risks entirely:

  • No unverified carriers.
  • No last-minute price changes.
  • No exposure of your personal data.
  • No confusion about who’s responsible for your vehicle.

You now get the same level of protection that major enterprise fleets enjoy — but made simple for personal shipments.
