Right Way Auto: A Successful Transition to ePOD with Super Dispatch

About Right Way Auto

Right Way Auto, a family-owned car hauling business, has been a reliable partner for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) since 1989. With a fleet of 32 trucks, they have built a solid reputation based on experience and know-how. Their strength lies in their ability to safely deliver brand new cars straight from the assembly line to the dealership.

Their Goals

With 32 trucks, Right Way Auto falls squarely within the fleet category of the car hauling industry. It takes decades to build a profitable car hauling business with enough know-how to run a fleet of 32 trucks. And it’s precisely for those reasons Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) rely on powerhouses like Right Way to haul their cars straight from the assembly line to the dealership. OEMs can’t trust just any car hauling company with their brand new cars.

In July 2017, all OEM carriers were mandated to adopt an electronic proof of delivery (ePOD) system. This shift aimed to integrate these new systems with their existing Transportation Management System (TMS). Right Way Auto saw this transition as an opportunity to optimize their operations and increase their efficiency.
