Every open auto transport request scored before dispatch
Collects vehicle count, drivable condition, pickup timeline, and shipping distance up front, plus ownership proof and vehicle photos, so every open transport lead in your CRM is ready to quote, not qualify.
The exact intake your open auto transport leads complete
This is the real 7-question guided intake for Open Auto Transport — the same flow your customers finish before you ever pick up the phone.
What a qualified open auto transport lead should tell you
Shipping of one or more vehicles on an open-air multi-car carrier trailer between two locations, priced and scheduled based on vehicle count, drivable condition, and how soon pickup is needed.
- Many Vehicles Transported
- Vehicle In Drivable Condition
- Best Describes Pickup And
- Soon Transport Begin
- Vehicle Owner Or Authorized
- Category Best Describes Vehicle
- Approximate Distance Between Origin
The questions your team needs answered
Every open auto transport intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| How many vehicles do you need transported? | Vehicle count signals shipment scale, so a five-or-more-vehicle request scores higher than a single car and stands out as a larger job worth prioritizing. |
| Is the vehicle currently in drivable condition? | A drivable vehicle scores higher because it loads quickly on standard equipment, while a non-drivable vehicle needs a winch-equipped carrier and more dispatch planning. |
| Which best describes your pickup and delivery locations? | Segments the lead so you can route, price, and prioritize it correctly. |
| How soon do you need the transport to begin? | Timeline weight peaks for 'as soon as possible' answers, letting your team prioritize pickups that need a truck booked now over flexible, no-set-date requests. |
| Are you the vehicle owner or authorized to arrange this shipment? | Authorization has the widest weight swing in the catalog, so a 'no' answer flags the lead for verification before a truck is dispatched on a shipment the requester may not be able to authorize. |
| What category best describes the vehicle to be shipped? | Vehicle category determines the equipment needed, since a motorcycle or oversized vehicle can't ride on the same carrier slot as a standard sedan. |
| What is the approximate distance between the origin and destination? | Segments the lead so you can route, price, and prioritize it correctly. |

Built for open auto transport workflows
| Cliont capability | Open Auto Transport application |
|---|---|
| Weighted lead scoring | Combines vehicle count, drivable condition, and pickup timeline into a single score so ASAP, multi-vehicle, drivable shipments rise above flexible, single-car requests. |
| Required photo and document uploads | Collects vehicle photos and ownership or authorization proof before the lead reaches your CRM, cutting down on truck rolls for jobs that later turn out to need owner sign-off. |
| Conditional routing by answer | Flags non-drivable vehicles and non-owner submissions differently from standard drivable, owner-authorized requests, so dispatch knows which leads need a phone call first. |
| CRM delivery with score band | Sends each qualified pickup to your CRM already tagged with its score, so a five-vehicle business-to-business job doesn't sit in the same queue as a flexible single-car inquiry. |
Common open auto transport lead scenarios
Single vehicle, ready now
One drivable sedan needing pickup as soon as possible — the intake flags the top-weighted drivable and ASAP answers so this lead lands ahead of slower-moving requests.
Multi-vehicle shipment
A shipper reports five or more vehicles moving between business locations, which scores higher on volume and may signal a fleet or dealer-adjacent job worth a direct call instead of a form follow-up.
Non-drivable vehicle needing recovery
The vehicle won't start or roll under its own power, which carries a lower weight than a drivable unit and tells your team to quote winch-equipped equipment before booking the truck.
Flexible timeline shopper
No set pickup date and a 'flexible' timeline answer score lowest on urgency, useful for separating price-shoppers from shippers who need a truck this week.
Authorization uncertain
Someone other than the vehicle owner submits the request without confirming they're authorized to arrange shipment — the sharp weight drop on that answer flags it for a verification call before any truck gets dispatched.

Open Auto Transport lead-intake FAQs
How does the intake handle a vehicle that won't start or drive?
The drivable-condition question carries a lower weight for 'no' answers than 'yes,' so non-drivable vehicles are still captured and scored, but flagged early since they need a winch-equipped carrier rather than a standard loader.
Does this intake also cover enclosed transport leads?
No — this catalog is specific to open transport. If a shipper wants enclosed transport instead, that's handled by the separate Enclosed Auto Transport intake so pricing and equipment expectations aren't mixed up.
What happens if the person filling out the form isn't the vehicle owner?
The authorization question has the sharpest weight drop in the catalog for a 'no' answer, so those submissions are still delivered but scored low enough to prompt a verification call before a truck is booked.
How does the intake account for shipping multiple vehicles at once?
The vehicle-count question scores higher as the count increases, so a five-or-more-vehicle request is distinguished from a single-car shipment without you having to read every submission to spot it.
What photos or paperwork do we get before dispatch?
The intake collects vehicle photos and proof of ownership or authorization to ship, so your team has documentation on file before a carrier is assigned.
Is shipping distance used to score the lead?
Distance and vehicle category are captured to help route the job to the right carrier and equipment, but they aren't weighted in the score itself — timeline, vehicle count, and drivable condition drive prioritization.
