When the Car Matters, the Transporter Matters More

When the Car Matters, the Transporter Matters More

There is automotive transportation—and then there is transporting a car that simply cannot be treated like ordinary cargo.

For more than two decades, Dealer’s Choice Auto Transport has built its reputation in precisely that world. Trusted by luxury and exotic automobile dealerships across the country, Dealer’s Choice understands that moving a Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, Bentley or irreplaceable collector vehicle demands something beyond getting it from Point A to Point B. It requires experience, accountability and, perhaps most importantly, trust.

That distinction has become increasingly important.

In a previous conversation with duPont REGISTRY, Dealer’s Choice founder Steve Yariv discussed one of the automotive industry’s most troubling developments: increasingly sophisticated vehicle theft during transportation. Fraudulent carriers, rerouted deliveries and falsified credentials have turned what was once a relatively straightforward transaction into another potential point of vulnerability for dealers. Yariv’s message was simple: when hundreds of thousands of dollars are riding inside the trailer, choosing a transporter based solely on the lowest quote can be an extraordinarily expensive gamble.

Dealer’s Choice built its business around a different philosophy.

The company provides nationwide transportation throughout all 50 states, with both open and enclosed carrier options and specialized services designed for dealerships, auctions, exotic automobiles, classics and individual vehicles. For high-value cars in particular, enclosed transportation provides protection from the elements while placing the vehicle in an environment appropriate for something far removed from ordinary freight.

And now, Dealer’s Choice has considerably more horsepower behind it.

In late 2025, Dealer’s Choice Auto Transport was acquired by RPM Freight Systems, now operating as RPM Moves. The combination brings together two complementary strengths: Dealer’s Choice's high-touch expertise in luxury and exotic vehicles and RPM’s national logistics infrastructure, technology and carrier network. Dealer’s Choice continues to operate under its established brand while gaining expanded capabilities and reach.

Perhaps the best description of the relationship came from RPM President John Perkovich. Speaking after the acquisition, he drew a distinction between traditional vehicle logistics and what Dealer’s Choice does every day: if RPM moves metal, Dealer’s Choice “moves art.”

For the dealers and collectors Dealer’s Choice serves, that difference matters.

A transporter entrusted with a seven-figure automobile isn't simply delivering inventory. It is being entrusted with an asset, a customer relationship and, in many cases, an automobile that may be difficult—or impossible—to replace.

That is why the choice of transporter matters.

And it is precisely why so many of the country’s leading luxury and exotic automobile dealers choose Dealer’s Choice Auto Transport.
