In today’s on-demand world, waiting hours or even days for help doesn’t cut it. For anyone tracking a delivery, scheduling a pick-up, or trying to sort out a last-minute route change, fast, reliable support is no longer a luxury; it’s expected.
Yet, in the auto transport industry, many customers are still stuck in an outdated loop of hold music, call-backs, and limited support windows. The result is frustration, delays, and missed opportunities.
That’s where haulin.ai’s assistant Tessa comes in. Built with the latest advances in artificial transportation technology, Tessa offers a smarter, faster, and more responsive solution. With 24/7 auto transport support and instant vehicle shipping assistance, she eliminates the need to wait, transforming the entire shipping experience.
Let’s examine why this shift matters and how it solves the most common problems vehicle shippers face today.
When you’re shipping a car across state lines or with a tight deadline, the last thing you want is to be stuck on hold, sent to voicemail, or chasing updates in the black hole of email threads. Yet, for many customers, that’s a reality. Long response times, generic answers, and limited office hours have plagued the vehicle shipping industry for years.
For many years, auto transport customers have been dealing with slow response times, vague updates, and inconsistent communication. Some companies still rely on phone-based customer service during limited business hours, leaving customers stranded when they need help the most.
This outdated model is inconvenient and incompatible with how people expect service in 2025. When you can track a pizza to your doorstep in real-time, it’s frustrating that checking on a $50,000 vehicle can take a day or more. Customers looking for answers are often met with long wait times, generic email replies, or voicemails that go unanswered.
The traditional system no longer meets the needs, and when shipping demand spikes, as it often does seasonally or during market surges, the problem worsens. It can take hours or even days to get the simplest auto transport questions answered.
Poor support is more than an inconvenience; it’s a business risk. Every unanswered call or delayed update increases the chance of missed deadlines, confused drivers, or frustrated customers. With vehicles often changing hands across long distances, miscommunication can lead to costly mistakes.
Beyond logistics, there’s something else at stake: customer trust. When customers don’t feel heard or helped, they don’t return. That’s why no-wait time customer service has become a competitive advantage in the auto transport industry.
Tessa, haulin.ai’s AI-powered assistant, is built to address this head-on. She provides real-time shipping support anytime, day or night, ensuring that customers are never left wondering, guessing, or chasing down answers.
Excellent service isn’t just about answering questions. It’s about doing it quickly, clearly, and when the customer needs it most. With Tessa leading the way, haulin.ai isn’t just improving response times. She’s redefining what support looks like in today’s auto transport industry.
Tessa isn’t just another chatbot. She’s the intelligent backbone of haulin.ai’s 24/7 auto transport support, designed specifically for today’s fast-paced shipping world. Built using the latest advances in artificial intelligence in transportation, Tessa understands real logistics workflow, everyday customer needs, and even industry jargon.
You may need to schedule a pick-up late at night or want to know where your vehicle is on a Sunday morning. Tessa is always awake and ready to offer real-time shipping support without the typical wait. Unlike traditional customer support reps limited by office hours, Tessa is available 24/7, providing consistent and friendly service at scale.
Tessa is trained on thousands of real-world scenarios and carrier data points, meaning she’s ready to respond with speed and precision. She doesn’t just repeat scripted responses; she actively interprets each customer’s question and delivers tailored guidance instantly.
It might be to a customer asking about insurance coverage, estimated delivery windows, or how to prep a car for shipping. Whatever the query, Tessa delivers instant vehicle shipping assistance with the confidence of a seasoned logistics coordinator. If something needs human oversight, she can smoothly escalate it to a live agent without making the customer start from scratch.
Behind Tessa’s friendly responses is a powerful AI engine designed for much more than just basic support. Let’s explore how her intelligence differentiates her from traditional chatbots and why that matters for our auto transport customers.
Unlike generic bots that churn out pre-written answers, Tessa understands the intent behind each question, thanks to advanced natural language processing. She can interpret everyday language, typos, slang, and vague requests.
For example:
Customer: Can I get my SUV picked up next Friday in Phoenix?
Tessa: Yes, I can help with that. Just to confirm: do you want pick-up on Friday, 14th, from your Phoenix address? I’ll check carrier availability now.
Tessa handles these real-time exchanges with a natural flow, mimicking the ease of talking to a live agent. However, unlike a human, she doesn’t sleep, forget, or make you repeat yourself.
Tessa isn’t just smart; she gets smarter with every customer communication. Every day, she learns from thousands of auto transport questions and conversations. If customers ask about a new regulation or pricing trend, Tessa adapts and adds it to her knowledge base.
Over time, this continuous learning helps her:
Tessa’s intelligence means she can go far beyond basic FAQs. She can handle nuanced scenarios like:
Customer: I’m buying a used car in Florida, but I’m in Michigan. The seller won’t be home for the pick-up. Can someone else hand over the keys?
Tessa: Yes, a designated contact can release the vehicle as long as they’re listed on the transport form. I’ll walk you through how to add them now.
Tessa isn’t just helpful in theory. She’s built to solve the everyday challenges customers face when shipping vehicles. From tracking questions to pricing confusion, here’s how she delivers real value across common scenarios.
One of the most common concerns for auto transport users is knowing where their vehicle is and when it will arrive. With real-time shipping support, Tessa can provide instant, accurate updates without customers having to dig through emails or call during business hours.
Customer: Where’s my car now? It left two days ago.
Tessa: Your vehicle is currently en route through Tennessee and is scheduled to arrive in Dallas on Thursday between 2 and 4 PM. Would you like to receive live status notifications by text?
By responding in seconds, not hours, Tessa removes the uncertainty surrounding vehicle deliveries.
Many auto transport customers have questions about what goes into their quotes. Rather than waiting for a representative, Tessa breaks it down instantly.
Customer: Why is my quote higher this time than last month?
Tessa: Prices vary based on season, fuel costs, and route demands. Since you’re shipping during peak snowbird season, rates are temporarily higher. I can check for flexible dates if you’d like a lower option.
This level of detail and context builds trust and reflects the power of artificial intelligence in transportation to improve transparency.
Every vehicle is different. Tessa easily handles special requests, from oversized vehicles to inoperable cars.
Customer: I’m shipping a lifted truck. Will that be a problem?
Tessa: Not at all. I’ll note the height and confirm space with carriers who handle modified vehicles. Due to trailer clearance needs, you may see a slight rate increase.
Customer: Do I need to disconnect my car alarm?
Tessa: Yes, we recommend turning off alarms to avoid issues during transit. I can guide you through it or help contact your dealer if needed.
These tailored responses go far beyond what basic bots can offer, showing how AI in logistics is elevating the entire support experience.
As logistics becomes more complex, so does the demand for smarter service. AI is stepping in to speed things up and raise the quality of support across the board.
AI is becoming essential in all aspects of business, from route planning to freight scheduling. In customer service, it’s eliminating bottlenecks, reducing human error, and improving response times across all modes of transport.

AI support is evolving rapidly, and Tessa is just the beginning. The next wave of tools is focused on making help even faster, easier, and more intuitive.

This kind of predictive support turns customer service into a real-time, value-adding experience, another leap forward for artificial intelligence in transportation.
An AI assistant can instantly answer tracking updates, quote explanations, vehicle prep steps, pick-up and delivery procedures, insurance questions, and general shipping timelines without any human intervention.
When a question of situation is too complex for automation, Tessa knows exactly when to bring in a human. She collects all the relevant information upfront, including conversation history, vehicle details, and context. Then she passes it along seamlessly to a live team member. That means you won’t have to repeat yourself or re-explain the issue. The handoff is smooth, and the resolution is faster because the human rep starts with everything they need.
