If you bought a car online, the next step is getting it home safely. Here's how to do it using FreightFloo:

Step-by-Step Process

  1. Post your shipment with pickup/dropoff, dates, and vehicle details.
  2. Carriers bid in a reverse auction so you get competitive pricing.
  3. Review carrier profiles and verification (MC/DOT, insurance).
