Shawn Abernathy

Logistics Agent

Hello and thank you for taking the time to learn about me.

After graduating from the University of North Carolina I worked on Wall Street for several years before following my passion and interest in cars and entered the car industry. I started by selling cars and later managing large dealerships along the east coast. Being involved in the shipping of vehicles from the customer side sparked my interest in auto transporting full time and I started with Mercury in 2020. I enjoy helping coordinate and facilitate my customer’s shipments from start to finish and take pride in my extensive communication and ability to eloquently explain the process of shipping and answer any questions that my customers might have.

In my free time I enjoy spending time with my beautiful wife and our four lovely kids at the beach. I love anything UNC and enjoy traveling the world. My wife and kids are die hard Disney fans so we visit Disney World often when we’re not at dance competitions for the girls and sports for the boys. It’s a busy life but I love every minute of it!

I look forward to assisting you in your shipment and please feel free to contact me at any time with any questions you might have.

You can reach me directly at (754) 799-4768.

Thank you again for checking out my page!

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.
