The All America Auto Transport Vehicle Shipment Security System
We take great care of your customers' cars. Every load is protected by multi-layer verification: carrier status, insurance, driver and truck identity, and strict release protocols at pickup and delivery.
Quick answer
VS3 is AAAT's operational checklist to reduce fraud, insurance gaps, and wrong-driver pickups. Before your vehicle moves, we confirm the carrier's operating status on SAFER/FMCSA, verify cargo insurance, validate driver and truck identifiers (including DOT/MC visibility), and apply extra scrutiny for first-time or high-value moves—then enforce customer release rules at pickup. Official broker vs carrier definitions live on the FMCSA site.
