    What is 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.

    How does Tempus Logix work?

    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 shipping options

    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.

    How much does Tempus Logix cost?

    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 have to reschedule because the vehicle isn’t ready for pickup, Tempus Logix may charge a $75 fee. After a carrier has reached the pickup location, failure to release the vehicle may result in a “dry-run” fee up to $200.

    Tempus Logix had a great competitive price. My wife travel nurses frequently, so we find ourselves using this type of services once or twice a year. When you travel nurse or leave the contract, they're really flexible about the leave windows. We were scheduling against the actual date that my wife's contract was gonna be over with our flights. There was also the date that we had to be out of the housing. There was a short window when she didn't need her car and when we could have it picked up.

    The driver or the dispatch was in touch a lot. She let me know how far the driver was. The driver also reached out. We coordinated to a road that had more space for the car to actually be put on the truck. It went smoothly. We had a couple of hiccups with the driver's truck breaking out. He reached out and kept me in the loop of the repairs and let me know what to expect. He was a very nice guy who stayed in contact. He got to me as quickly as he could once he got his truck up and going. Despite the obvious downfalls of the truck, that was overcome and superseded by his communication and the way he handled the situation. I would 100% recommend Tempus Logix.

    Most of the dealing with the rep was done online and I just entered my information. Then someone called and told me the shipment had been scheduled. The quote was AI-generated. So, it always usually requires some actual human to come back and revise it. You have to go back and provide specific information. If the vehicle option is not up in the website, you have to make sure it's exactly what it is, and then talk to an actual person. That was what I did because I didn't want someone to come tell me that the price changed.

    The delivery was straightforward for the most part. I was given the phone number for the driver. So, I was able to text them to get the window during which they would deliver. That was good because I was able to schedule things. I gave them a time that I wanted the vehicle delivered and they arrived when they said they would. Vehicle shipping is not cheap and I found that the higher you're willing to pay, the better the service. Tempus Logix could streamline their forms a little bit and make it shorter. Also, they have a third-party and the prices are usually not the same. If you go directly to Tempus Logix's website, it's generally cheaper than if you go to the third-party website. Overall, I've been happy with their service.

    Dear Chemanji, thank you for sharing your experience.
    Our website's quotes are AI generated, which is set by our specialists, of course. We also always double-check to make sure we're providing appropriate prices according to the specifics.
    We're glad to hear that you were able to schedule the delivery and plan around it. We've definitely cut a lot of stuff out of the form to save everyone some time as well, but some information just has to be confirmed to make sure everyone is informed about the details and the driver has everything he needs to realize the shipment in a timely manner. We were just as happy working with you. And hope to hear from you again.
    Respectfully,

    Monika

      I worked with Tempus Logix with one car that I shipped and everything went smoothly. So, it was easy to become a repeat customer and just work with them on multiple occasions. They were true to their word on their timeframes. Folks showed up a little early. Communication was always good. If the hauler said they would be somewhere at a certain time or a certain day and I didn’t hear from anybody, I would call Tempus, Tempus called them, and they got back to me. Tempus got in touch with them quickly. When we arranged the pick-ups, sometimes they would put them on a three-way call, where it was me, Tempus, and those other people. These folks drive trucks and don't have control of the road sometimes. The last time, there was a wildfire smoke on the way from Washington to here, and the guy was stuck for a couple of hours. But he called Tempus Logix and let me know.

      I had four vehicles shipped at one time. That truck was a giant, ridiculous truck, and the driver wasn't able to pull into my neighborhood to get the cars. So, we met two blocks away on one of the bigger roads. He was able to put his truck somewhere where it was safe and he could leave it, and he went and picked up the cars. That was the only time that they didn't come right in front of my house. And that was understandable given that his rig could fit 15 cars on it. So, we worked together. He was super helpful. Getting everything where it needed to be. And they’ve all been positive experiences. The last one was just one car to go back east, and they pulled right up in front of my house, and we loaded the car up.

      The multiple-vehicle hauler took pictures, and there was a paperwork that we filled out. The last one was just paperwork. They just have those transfer papers where you write on one and you have a pink, yellow and white copy. So, they filled that out, put little x's on the parts of the car where there were dents or scrapes and gave me one, they kept one, and there was one that went with the car.

      The quotes were fair. But there was a little problem. Tempus allows putting some items in your car. But think didn't communicate that well with the shipper. So, on this last vehicle, a guy came out to pick the car up, it was late at night, and he tried to get more money for the shipment. There was more weight in the car because there were items in the car. So, I just told him to leave, and he did. I said, “I'm not giving you any more money. We're not doing this.” Tempus Logix sent somebody out the next day and they apologized a million times.

      I used the uShip app and I had 5 companies bid on the job. I kept waiting for Tempus to come back because I was reading the reviews and they had such awesome reviews. Then when they came back with a lower bid, I booked through them and didn't wait for anybody else to come back again because we felt the price was reasonable too. Tempus Logix was amazing. Once it was booked to them, they answered all my questions. When I had an email to them, they responded quickly. They were really good to work with. Everything worked out wonderfully. The car was there when they said it was gonna be there.

      Tempus made the move super easy and I didn't have to worry about it. Everything they said they were gonna do, they did. The guy that picked up the car was awesome. During the delivery, the driver was unable to park in my cul-de-sac because of the weight limit of the truck. So he parked on the side road and drove the car. My mom offered to drive him back to his truck but he said he was gonna walk because it was a pretty short distance. He was a really nice guy. He was really accommodating. Overall, it was a very positive experience.

      The whole purpose was to transport our dirt bike back home here to Florida. We're talking about a $2,000 dirt bike, and people were asking $4,000 to transport it. Tempus Logix came out with a fair and reasonable price. It was somewhere around $900. And they did a good job. The only thing I had a bit of a problem was the first time they set up to have the transport pickup the bike, they only gave me a half hour notice. "The guy's right around the corner." I said, "I can't do that with a half hour notice." Because I live in Florida, my buddy lives in California. And I had to call him to make sure he was available for the bike to be picked up. So, a half hour notice was not enough. And like I explained to the young lady, I need at least 24-hour notice.

      So the next time around, she gave me 24-hour notice and it worked out perfectly. Because I was able to give the guy the phone number of Peter. And he called Peter up and they coordinated. Peter's dad eventually just, "Here's, the bike," and they put it on the trailer and it was gone. Make sure you tell them to give you a 24-hour notice. They're not the trucking company. They're working with other trucking companies. I understand the logistical things that are going out there. They advertise, "Hey, I got a trip. You got room?" And someone says, "Yeah, I got room and I'll take this thing." But sometimes, their truckers need to give more headway.

      The car was supposed to be picked up near Denver, PA, and dropped off in Urbandale, Iowa. The shipment took three days. The driver texted us a couple of hours before arrival, and then he arrived around 15 minutes from when he said he would. We were here for drop-off and then my daughter was on the other end for pickup. The drop-off was a little sketchy. The driver had more like a flat bed and it held three vehicles. It was not a big truck. It was late at night and we held flashlights. The driver did not speak English at all, which was fine. But we kind of guided cars around him because he stopped in the middle of the busy street. But we are in Iowa. It was not really busy. But the experience was fine. We all lived through it. We were grateful to have it and get the car in great shape and very pleased with the service. He did the best he could with what he had.

      Tempus Logix was the fourth company that I had to contact to get my move done. They were on top of it. They gave me exact times, places, how it would work, and how much it would cost. The pickup was originally scheduled to take three or four days. But it only took three. Also, the drop-off was very efficient. The courier driver called when he was between 5 and 10 minutes away. He pulled up and it took less than five minutes, he had the truck off, and was gone.

      I was leaving town so it was urgent that the vehicle had to be picked up ASAP and with a deadline to be delivered. Not only did they pick it up on time, but they also delivered it earlier than expected. Every time I texted, the driver responded immediately. I've done this a lot in the past, and others would tell me, "Oh, no problem. We'll pick it up within one to two days." Then I would hear a ** story such as "Our car hauler got stuck. The axle broke,” or “He got stuck in traffic," or "It's gonna be another two days," or what not. But not with Tempus Logix. They were easy to work with. Everything was exactly as it was mentioned. I even reached out to them for another delivery. They didn't have someone available right away but that was how good it was that I even reached out to them for another one a few weeks later.
