Tempus Logix

Tempus Logix is a car shipping broker that connects customers with a network of more than 25,000 auto shippers across the nation. All its partner carriers are certified and licensed and maintain cargo insurance of up to $1 million. Its services include open and enclosed transport for shipping vehicles locally, nationally and even internationally.

It works with individuals, companies, corporations, auction houses, car collectors, luxury car owners and dealers to ship cars, motorcycles, heavy equipment, ATVs and boats.

To start, customers first input shipment details into an AI cost calculator. Be ready to provide the following information:

• The origin and destination ZIP codes
• Whether you want open or enclosed transport
• The first date the vehicle is available to ship
• Whether the vehicle runs
• The vehicle make, model and year
• Whether the vehicle has been modified
• Whether you are shipping any extra parts or personal belongings
• Your contact information

The system then searches for the best price, showing you regular and cash prices. If you choose to move forward, you will put in more details about the pickup and drop-off locations and finalize the booking.

Once you book with Tempus Logix, you can start using the shipment status tool online. The tool shows you information such as whether Tempus Logix has booked a carrier and estimated dates of pickup and delivery.

Tempus Logix provides a number of different shipping options for customers:

• Enclosed auto transport: Ship a vehicle in an enclosed trailer for greater peace of mind. For more expensive vehicles, or for shipping in bad weather, this may be a better option.
• Open auto transport: Shipping a vehicle in an open trailer is a more affordable option than enclosed shipping. It’s adequate for most transports and the best choice for those on a budget.
• Military auto transport: The company offers up to a 10% military auto transport discount for all active-duty members.
• Express car shipping: Have your vehicle picked up within 48 hours of the transporter receiving your vehicle transport order. This is the best option if you have an exact date you need the car shipped. Express is usually 30% more than traditional auto shipping.
• Shipping for online car buyers: After purchasing a car online, you can work with Tempus Logix to get the car shipped to you. During pickup, it also offers a variety of visual checkups, which may serve as a secondary inspection for the new vehicle.
• Classic car transport: This premium service offers a greater level of confidence to customers with classic cars.
• International shippers: Tempus Logix’s shippers will get the vehicle to the port or airport needed for international shipment. Most of its drivers have Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) cards.
• Heavy equipment transport: Tempus Logix offers shipping for large trucks, heavy machinery and agricultural equipment for construction and industrial companies.
• Boat transport: Tempus Logix offers city-to-city and state-to-state boat, yacht and sailboat transportation for boats up to 70 feet in length.

Tempus Logix searches its carrier network for the lowest cost based on the details on your shipment details. After you provide information about your vehicle, the earliest pickup date, the route and whether you want open or enclosed transport, Tempus Logix shows you both a cash price and a regular price instantly through its AI cost calculator.

According to its terms and conditions, Tempus Logix does charge broker and scheduling fees before pickup. There is a 5% transaction fee for using a credit card or PayPal. If you cancel the shipment after a carrier is assigned or you have to reschedule because the vehicle isn’t ready for pickup, Tempus Logix may charge a $75 fee.

Tempus Logix and its partners have transported more than 30,000 vehicles nationwide, with over 55 million miles driven. The company is registered with the FMCSA as a broker and is available to customers throughout the U.S. For those who want a company that compares options from multiple carriers, Tempus Logix is a good possible starting point.
