Sam Goldenburg Discusses Vehicle Transport Security at AIS & NRC 2025

How Autosled is Innovating to Protect Vehicles During Transport.

Sam Goldenberg

ROCKVILLE, MD, April 15, 2025 – The 2025 AIS & NRC conference united leaders in technology and finance to explore the evolving future of the automotive industry. The event focused on key trends, innovations, and disruptions shaping the customer purchase journey. This year’s summit included a special Q&A with Autosled’s own Sam Goldenburg, Vice President of Dealer Sales and 2023 Top 40 under 40 Industry Award Honoree, unpacking the industry-wide concerns surrounding vehicle fraud during the transport process. Alongside Joe Overby, AutoRemarketing’s Senior Editor, Sam discussed practical steps that dealership attendees can take at their stores to help minimize the risk of vehicle theft during transport. He also shared the significant financial and reputational impacts this issue has on dealers, remarketers, and the automotive industry as a whole.

The live Q&Q delved into the root causes of this problem, highlighting the sophistication of organized theft rings and vulnerabilities in traditional transportation methods. Autosled’s innovative fraud prevention measures have addressed this challenge head-on, leveraging advanced technologies and data-driven strategies to enhance security throughout the vehicle transport process.

As Sam explained during the Q&A, “Vehicle theft during transportation has been a major concern that affected the entire automotive ecosystem. Dealers and remarketers were losing millions of dollars each year, with devastating consequences for customer relationships. At Autosled, we had made it our mission to develop cutting-edge solutions that protect our clients’ vehicles during transportation. From real-time tracking and tamper-evident technology to comprehensive risk assessments and secure logistics planning, we are empowering our partners to stay one step ahead of the thieves.”

The discussion also touched on the importance of industry-wide collaboration and the need for dealers and transportation providers to work together to implement best practices and share intelligence around this issue. Leveraging technology and fostering a culture of proactive risk management, the automotive industry could effectively combat the growing threat of vehicle theft during transportation. Collaboration in this area protects the entire industry and provides critical avenues to comprehensive and secure vehicle transport.
Autosled’s focus on this topic isn’t limited to AIS. In fact, Autosled’s Co-Founder and Chief Revenue Officer, Dave Sperau, will speak on this very topic, alongside other automotive industry executives, during NAAA’s Spring Remarketing Exchange on April 22-24 in Phoenix, AZ.
