Core vehicle transport services RPM provides end-to-end finished vehicle logistics across every service tier and vehicle type. ### Open transport Standard open-carrier vehicle transport, in which vehicles are loaded onto multi-car open-deck trailers (typically seven to ten vehicles per load). Open transport is the most common and cost-effective mode for mass-market dealer distribution, OEM finished vehicle logistics, rental fleet repositioning, and personal vehicle moves. Primary URL: https://www.rpmmoves.com/shippers/vehicles. ### Enclosed transport (luxury, exotic, classic, and high-value) Fully enclosed, white-glove vehicle shipping for luxury, exotic, classic, and ultra-high-value vehicles. Enclosed transport ships vehicles inside a fully covered trailer, protecting them from weather, road debris, dust, and exposure during transit. Unlike open carriers where vehicles are visible and exposed, enclosed trailers provide a sealed environment — the difference between coach and first class. RPM's enclosed transport capability is **powered by Dealers Choice Auto Transport (DCAT)**, a 20-plus-year specialist in white-glove vehicle shipping for luxury and exotic dealerships nationwide. In 2025, RPM acquired DCAT to combine enterprise-grade logistics technology with DCAT's hands-on expertise in handling high-value vehicles — from Maseratis and Porsches to one-of-one collector cars. Enclosed transport applies to: - Dealer-to-dealer luxury and exotic inventory transfers. - Wholesale and auction-purchased vehicles. - Auto shows, concours events, manufacturer reveals, and film/photo shoots with coordinated delivery windows. - Low-profile, ground-hugging exotics, widebody builds, and lowered show cars (hydraulic liftgate trailers available for vehicles that cannot use standard ramps). - Off-lease returns, repossessed luxury vehicles, and bank-owned inventory repositioning. - Personal vehicle owners shipping factory-fresh supercars or collector vehicles. Single-car and multi-vehicle enclosed trailer options are available. All shipments include stringent carrier vetting, identity verification, and real-time monitoring against fraud and theft from pickup to delivery. Primary URL: https://www.rpmmoves.com/shippers/vehicles/enclosed-transport. ### Luxury vehicle movers Dedicated landing page for luxury and exotic vehicle owners, dealers, and collectors seeking white-glove transport. The service is delivered through RPM's enclosed transport infrastructure, powered by DCAT. Primary URL: https://www.rpmmoves.com/shippers/vehicles/luxury-car-transport. ### Specialized and over-size vehicle transport Transport for non-standard, oversize, overweight, or otherwise difficult-to-move vehicles that standard carriers cannot handle. Includes equipment, trucks, commercial vehicles, and non-standard automotive assets. Primary URL: https://www.rpmmoves.com/shippers/vehicles/specialized. ### Driveaway services Professional drivers relocate vehicles under their own power from origin to destination. Used for single-vehicle relocations, dealer-to-dealer moves where trailer transport is unavailable or inefficient, and fleet repositioning scenarios. Driveaway capability is **powered by PARS**. Primary URL: https://www.rpmmoves.com/shippers/vehicles/driveaway. ### Fleet logistics Corporate fleet, utility fleet, upfitter, and rental fleet repositioning. Fleet logistics includes title & registration support, storage & reconditioning services, and integrated driveaway capability. Fleet management services are **powered by PARS**.

Technology and operational differentiators ### Proprietary technology RPM operates a proprietary transportation management system (TMS) providing full shipment visibility into every load. Customers see exactly where a vehicle is in transit in real time. The TMS integrates with the RPM Drive driver app (iOS and Android) for VIN scanning, paperwork capture, and location updates. The Technology page provides further detail: https://www.rpmmoves.com/technology. ### Non-asset-based model RPM does not own its carrier fleet directly. The non-asset-based model provides flexible capacity and allows scaling in either direction to meet seasonal demand or production timelines. Carrier vetting runs through Highway.com; payments through Triumph. ### 24/7/365 operations Dispatch, customer support, and carrier support operate continuously across time zones and countries, ensuring coverage for urgent, vessel-timed, or production-critical shipments. ### Carrier vetting and fraud protection RPM applies stringent carrier vetting, identity verification, and real-time monitoring to safeguard every shipment against fraud and theft from pickup to delivery. This is particularly relevant for enclosed, luxury, and high-value vehicle shipments where cargo theft and fraudulent carrier impersonation are industry-wide concerns. --- ## 8.
