For auto transport brokers
The lead you just bought is being dialed by four other brokers.
Auto transport is a speed game: the same shipper lead lands on several desks at once, and the broker who connects first usually books the car. Your CRM either gets you on the phone in seconds — or it is the reason you were second.
Founding rate held for as long as you stay subscribed. Month-to-month, no contract.
The desk you actually run
Speed-to-lead decides the booking
Marketplace and reseller leads go stale in minutes. A lead that sits in a spreadsheet until "after lunch" is a lead you paid for and someone else booked.
Quotes need chasing, not sending
A quote that isn't followed up is a donation to your competitor's pipeline. The fourth call books cars — if anyone remembers to make it.
Every rep dials differently
One rep burns through 150 dials, another "researches" 20. Without per-rep dial counts and outcomes, you find out at the end of the month.
A dialing CRM, not a database with a phone bolted on
Inboxsmith starts from the call: import your lead buys in one pass, put them in a Smart List sorted never-called-first, and start a power-dialer session that walks the list for you — voicemail drop on the beep, outcome on the record, next lead on a countdown. Managers see dials, connects and talk time live, and every number you must not call again lives on a DNC list the dialer physically cannot dial.
The whole product, in screenshots
Captures of the shipping app — not mockups. Everything shown is included in every seat: power dialer, voicemail drop, DNC lists and blocked callers, calling-hours guard, call recording, CSV import and export, per-rep budgets and live stats, pipeline and reporting.

One plan. Nothing gated.
$19 per seat per month at the founding rate — held for as long as you stay subscribed. Every feature in every seat, including the owner's. No per-feature upsells, no "call us" tier.
You connect your own Twilio account, and Twilio verifies you before anyone can dial — for most people that's a quick ID check (details, a photo of your ID, a selfie); registered businesses can file a full company profile instead. Their process, their clock: our own ID check cleared in minutes and our business review took 81 — data points, not promises.
Questions auto transport brokers ask us
What is an auto transport CRM?+
An auto transport CRM manages shipper leads, quotes and follow-ups for car-shipping brokers. Inboxsmith is a calling-first CRM: it adds a real power dialer, voicemail drop and Do Not Call enforcement on top of the pipeline, because in auto transport the first broker to connect usually books the car.
What is the best CRM for auto transport brokers?+
The best CRM for an auto transport desk is one built around speed-to-lead: instant lead import, a power dialer that walks the list, voicemail drop, and follow-up queues. Inboxsmith ships all of that in one $19 founding-rate seat with no per-feature upsells — judge it against any dialer-CRM on what is actually included per seat.
Can I import leads I buy from marketplaces and resellers?+
Yes — CSV import maps your columns automatically (up to 5,000 rows per file), groups rows into one lead with multiple contacts, and skips duplicates by company name. You can export everything back out to CSV whenever you want; your data is never held hostage.
How fast can a rep get through a lead list?+
The power dialer runs session dialing with auto-advance: call ends, outcome saved, next lead dials on a 3-second countdown you can pause or skip. Reps see their own dials, connects, voicemails dropped and talk time live on the session bar.
What happens when I hit a voicemail for the tenth time that day?+
One click drops a pre-recorded voicemail in your own voice and advances to the next lead. Record a couple of drops once — shared with the team or private per rep — and stop repeating yourself forty times a day.
Shippers tell us "take me off your list." How do you handle that?+
Flag the lead Do Not Call on its record, or upload an entire DNC list from your old dialer or CRM as bare phone numbers. Listed numbers are skipped by the power dialer and refused on manual dials — there is no override-by-accident. No surcharge; some dialers charge $20 per user per month for this.
Can it stop my reps calling the West Coast at 6am?+
Yes — each lead's timezone is detected automatically (address first, then phone area code), and the calling-hours guard skips leads outside your chosen local-time window. Individual leads can be exempted when a customer genuinely wants the early call.
Do I need to change phone numbers or carriers?+
You connect your own Twilio account and your numbers live there, in your name — if you ever leave, you keep them. Twilio verifies you before anyone can dial — a quick ID check for individuals, or a full company profile if you'd rather register the business; their process, their clock. Our ID check cleared in minutes, our business review in 81 — data points, not promises.
What does it cost?+
One plan: $19 per seat per month at the founding rate, held for as long as you stay subscribed. Every feature is in every seat — power dialer, voicemail drop, DNC tools, reporting. If Twilio does not approve your account, your deposit is refunded in full.
