 ROCKVILLE, MD – September 24, 2024– Autosled, No. 12 on the 2024 Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies, and a leading provider of digital technology solutions for automotive vehicle transport logistics, announced today the promotion of Sam Goldenberg to Vice President of Dealer Sales. An integral part of Autosled’s team since the company launched in 2019, Sam most recently served as Director of Enterprise Sales. During his tenure in that role, Sam was chosen as one of Auto Remarketing’s 2023 “40 under 40: Industry” honorees. Sponsored by IAA, the program focuses on up-and-coming leaders representing consignors, auctions, automotive finance companies, technology venders, associations and others within the used-car space. All industry honorees are selected from a group of nominations put forth by the retail automotive dealer community.

 “Sam has been successfully managing one of our sales’ teams for the past eighteen months,” said David Sperau, co-founder and chief revenue officer at Autosled. “He’s consistently shown the ability to go above and beyond for automotive dealers and has earned a stellar reputation with our customers for his level of attentiveness and ability to follow through. These are qualities that we’d like to have in every employee on our team, so placing Sam in charge of our sales team’s hiring and training was a very easy decision. We are looking forward to seeing the positive impact this will have both on Sam individually and the company as a whole.” 

 In his new role, Sam continues to lead Autosled’s nationwide division of Business Development Representatives- hiring, training and mentoring them as the company continues to provide exceptional market coverage to retail automotive dealer groups of all size. In addition, he will now assume the role of hiring and training all new sales representatives for Autosled, and will expand to include working with single-store franchise rooftops as well as independent dealerships and auctions.

 Prior to joining Autosled, Sam worked in retail automotive sales at a local dealership, consistently leading his team in both sales and CSI. It was here that he gained his overall appreciation for the automotive industry as well as an understanding of the unique struggles vehicle transportation logistics posed to dealerships. This understanding was only reinforced to Sam with the dealership’s high volume of out-of-state sales and continued growth of digital retailing. He joined Autosled with the goal of affecting change in this area of retail automotive business. 

 I am very excited to be promoted to Vice President of Dealer Sales” noted Sam Goldenberg. “Not only will I continue working with national retail automotive dealer groups, but I’ll have the honor of helping Autosled’s new salespeople across the country succeed in their roles as well. My previous work as a retail automotive salesperson provided me with a unique ability to relate to what Autosled’s dealer customers are struggling with on a day to day basis. It’s this perspective that enables our team to truly help dealers sell and move more cars.”

Autosled Ranks No. 12 on the 2024 Inc. 5000 List of Fastest-Growing Private Companies 

NEW YORK, August 13, 2024Inc. revealed today that Autosled ranks No. 12 on the 2024 Inc. 5000, its annual list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The prestigious ranking provides a data-driven look at the most successful companies within the economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent, entrepreneurial businesses. Microsoft, Meta, Chobani, Under Armour, Timberland, Oracle, Patagonia, and many other household-name brands gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000. 

“It’s such an honor to be included in the 2024 Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies” noted Dan Sperau, Autosled’s co-founder and chief executive officer. “Being ranked #12 leaves me speechless. I am truly in awe of how amazing the rise has been and our team’s ability to help us achieve our goals”. 

 The Inc. 5000 class of 2024 represents companies that have driven rapid revenue growth while navigating inflationary pressure, the rising costs of capital, and seemingly intractable hiring challenges. Among this year’s top 500 companies, the average median three-year revenue growth rate is 1,637 percent. In all, this year’s Inc. 5000 companies have added 874,458 jobs to the economy over the past three years. 

 For complete results of the Inc. 5000, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, location, and other criteria, go to www.inc.com/inc5000. All 5000 companies are featured on Inc.com starting Tuesday, August 13, and the top 500 appear in the new issue of Inc. magazine, available on newsstands beginning Tuesday, August 20. 

“One of the greatest joys of my job is going through the Inc. 5000 list,” says Mike Hofman, who recently joined Inc. as editor-in-chief. “To see all of the intriguing and surprising ways that companies are transforming sectors, from health care and AI to apparel and pet food, is fascinating for me as a journalist and storyteller. Congratulations to this year’s honorees, as well, for growing their businesses fast despite the economic disruption we all faced over the past three years, from supply chain woes to inflation to changes in the workforce.” 

“It never ceases to amaze me what Autosled’s motivated, hard-working employees have accomplished in barely over four years of business operations,” said David Sperau, Autosled’s co-founder and chief revenue officer. “It’s an honor to be included within this prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing private companies, but even more so to be a member of a team that keeps the customer as the #1 priority.”

Why Shipping Your Car is Not the Same as Shipping a Package

Why Shipping Your Car is Not the Same as Shipping a Package


When it comes to shipping, most of us are familiar with the process of sending a small parcel or ordering items online. It’s quick, relatively simple, and has become a part of our daily lives. However, when the item to be shipped is as large and valuable as an automobile, the process is far from what we’re accustomed to. 

Unlike the straightforward delivery of an item of clothing or miscellaneous home goods, shipping a vehicle presents a unique set of challenges. At Autosled, we understand these differences and strive to bridge the gap, in order to make vehicle pickup and deliveries as seamless as possible.

The Difference in Scale

It may be obvious, but the most significant contrast lies in the size difference involved. A standard box truck can carry upwards of a hundred packages, not to mention the thousands that can fit into a semi-truck. Conversely when transporting vehicles, each individual piece of cargo is massive in both size and weight. This requires specialized training and trailers specifically for automotive vehicles- regardless of whether it’s cars, trucks, or motorcycles that are being hauled. The most common trailers on the road can only hold up to three cars, with larger semi-truck haulers holding up to nine. This highlights a stark contrast in the complexity of transport logistics in the United States.

Varied Journeys

Consider the typical journey of an item or package ordered online. It’s picked up by a mail truck, travels to a local hub, then on to another, and another, until it’s placed on a truck to drive the last few miles needed to reach its destination. This multi-step process involves numerous trucks and transfer points, offering flexibility to reroute or adjust schedules, if needed, to minimize delays.

Vehicle transport on the other hand, operates on a more linear path. The truck that picks up your vehicle is generally the same one that will deliver it. This direct route means that any delays – which can stem from delays at pickup or drop-off locations, mechanical problems, unforeseen weather, and even traffic conditions – have a ripple effect, impacting the entire delivery schedule. Such challenges underscore the difficulty in providing exact ETAs, particularly for long-distance hauls.

Navigating the Challenges Well

This is where Autosled comes into play. Understanding the intricacies and potential complications of vehicle shipping, Autosled’s services offer as much ease, speed, and transparency as possible. While the weather can’t be changed, and flat tires happen from time to time, the team is here to support vehicle shipments every step of the way.

Real-Time Updates: With Autosled, shippers are not left in the dark. The platform’s shipment viewer allows customers to monitor the status and ETA of vehicle deliveries in real-time. This provides both automotive dealers and individuals shipping vehicles with a constant peace of mind throughout the transport process.

Dedicated Support: Beyond the digital tools, Autosled’s dedicated support team ensures that every shipper always has a real person to speak to, and that concerns are addressed. By offering this personal phone support along with digital solutions, customers receive the updates they need when they need them.

Fair Pricing: Autosled believes in transparency not just in shipping, but also in pricing. Autosled guarantees fair-market pricing without any hidden fees, making sure that every shipper gets the best service at an honest price.
