Joe Kelly

Senior Logisitics Agent

Hello, and Thank You for visiting my page.

My name is Joe, and I have been in the Supply Chain and Logistics industry since 1996 when I completed my enlistment in the US Army. I started unloading trailers and Haz-Mat shipping with Grainger Industrial Supply, where I worked my way up to Onsite Inventory Manager. I managed the inventory and logistics for multiple industries and customers in the South Florida market until I retired in 2016.

I have a passion for American cars of the 60s and 70s, which was instilled in me at a young age by my father, a Pro-Stock Drag Champion in Florida. As a boy, I had the opportunity to meet and interact with drag race icons like “Big Daddy” Don Garlit and Shirley Muldowney when they were up-and-coming contenders.

My role at Mercury allows me to combine my love of automobiles with my logistics experience, and it’s great!

I understand that every circumstance and car haul is unique, and with my experience and commitment to the details, I will ensure your vehicle is delivered safely and professionally.

Call me any time at (954) 637-2879, and we will put the right solution in place for you.

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.
