Corporate relocation auto transport.
Relo package billing, HR direct invoicing, employee communication support. Built for HR and relocation managers moving employees across the country.
Relocation managers need a transport partner that does not add stress.
When your company relocates an employee, the goal is a smooth start at the new role. The last thing your HR team or your employee needs is a transport broker who calls the employee at 7am asking about the wrong VIN, or who bills your finance team for a different vehicle than was booked.
Whipshipper runs a corporate relocation desk. HR or your relocation management company books the move. Invoices go to HR or RMC, not the employee. Employee gets professional SMS updates and one phone number to call if they have questions. Photos at pickup and delivery flow to both HR and the employee for documentation.
Volume relocation contracts available for companies relocating 20 plus employees per year. Single project contracts for one off executive moves and senior hires.
Why HR and relo teams use Whipshipper

Every auto transport service we run
Auto transport is not one product. A dealer moving forty units off an auction lane, a collector shipping a numbers matching car across the country, and a family sending one sedan ahead of a move are three different jobs that happen to use the same highways. They need different trailers, different insurance limits, different loading equipment, and different scheduling. Quoting all three the same way is how customers end up with a truck that cannot legally carry their vehicle. Pick the line below that matches what you are actually moving, and the quote comes back against the right equipment the first time.

Read before you book
Most complaints in this industry trace back to something the customer was never told: that the first quote was a placeholder, that the broker on the phone is not the company driving the truck, or that personal items in the trunk are not covered by cargo insurance. None of that is complicated once somebody explains it. These are the explainers we send customers before they book, written to be useful whether or not you ship with us.
