Guaranteed Auto Transport Service Powered by Mercury Shield Screening

A Better, Trusted Approach to Reliable Auto Transport

In the auto transport industry, firm pickup and delivery commitments are rare. Many brokers rely entirely on public load boards with no follow-up screening, making it difficult to promise firm timing.

Mercury does things differently.

We source carriers through Central Dispatch and other national dispatch tools, then screen every responding carrier through Mercury Shield, our internal carrier-screening and shipment-oversight process. That extra layer of verification is what allows a Mercury agent to confirm pickup windows and pricing with confidence on our Priority and Rush tiers.

Confirmed Pickup Windows (Priority Service)

With proper lead time, your Mercury agent can confirm a pickup window on our Priority tier. This gives you:

  • A confirmed time frame
  • A price confirmed by your agent before dispatch
  • Carrier assignment only from carriers screened through Mercury Shield

Confirmed pickup windows require flexibility. Some rural or low-traffic lanes may need up to two weeks of notice, but most routes can be handled within 7–10 days. Need it faster? Our Rush tier is built for tighter timelines.

Reliable Delivery Windows

Delivery timing is handled differently. No carrier can guarantee an exact hour of arrival (due to traffic, weather, routing, and DOT restrictions), but we can provide a reliable delivery window based on accurate route scheduling.

To support reliable delivery windows, we:

  • Assign only carriers screened through Mercury Shield
  • Verify transit timing before dispatch
  • Monitor your shipment and adjust proactively
  • Keep you updated the entire way

This level of oversight is something few transport companies offer.
