Overview

Carpool Logistics operates a technology-driven vehicle shipping marketplace that bundles multiple vehicles into single shipments to reduce turnaround times and costs while offering real-time tracking and security measures. The company plans to use new capital to accelerate technology development, expand product development, optimize logistics capabilities, and scale sales and marketing to drive customer acquisition and market expansion. Since its founding in 2021, Carpool has grown to serve over 1,800 clients—including auto auctions, dealerships, manufacturers, and fleets—and has shipped more than 150,000 vehicles. The platform emphasizes reducing environmental impact and integrating with customers’ workflows to make shipping a competitive advantage. Carpool is based in Atlanta, Georgia, and is a member of Atlanta Tech Village and a graduate of Georgia Tech’s ATDC. The company previously raised a $3.5 million seed round in 2022 from Atlanta Ventures and Overline Ventures. Carpool Logistics operates a logistics technology platform for shipping cars that connects vehicle shippers (auto auctions, dealers, manufacturers, and consumers) with auto haulers who have available truck space. The platform enables multiple clients to share space on a single truck to lower costs and reduce emissions. Led by CEO David Cummings, the company leverages marketplace and optimization technology to coordinate vehicle moves. Since launching in May 2021, Carpool Logistics has completed over 10,000 vehicle shipments and serves almost 250 customers. The company recently raised $2M and intends to use the funds to expand operations and accelerate development to address vehicle shipping challenges facing dealerships, auctions, manufacturers, and consumers.
