Quick ask: What's the worst red flag you ever spotted (or missed) when shipping a car? Share if you want - your stories keep me motivated and help shape what we build.

Planning to share the full list tomorrow as a thread. Transportvibe's whole point is helping spot this crap early so nobody gets screwed. Still total newbie at marketing - feels like trial and error every day. But posting daily is keeping me accountable.

--No active USDOT/MC on FMCSA site? Walk away
--"Book now or lose it" pressure? Sketchy
--Vague answers, random driver shows up, no written contract? Nope

--Super low quote that beats everyone else? Probably bait for later price jumps
--Asking for big deposit upfront (especially wire/gift cards/crypto)? Big no

Still going strong (kinda lol) after Day 2. Views are slowly climbing, got a reply or two - feels good when you're starting from nothing Today I put together a quick red-flag checklist from my brokerage days. Stuff I've seen burn people too many times:

Okay 👍

Pam Bondi REFUSES to Release Unredacted INDICTMENT DRAFT of Epstein Co-Conspirators to CONGRESS

search history of unredacted Epstein Files

Pam Bondi had the search history of unredacted Epstein Files by Congressional representatives.

DOJ chose not to interview Epstein survivors, they courageously showed up to the hearing anyway

because we have a cold

Why bluesky has so many fake/scam accounts?

Thanks for the early support, even the silent views count huge. Posting consistently in US peak times now (mornings/evenings ET) to reach more people. Onward to Day 3!

Tomorrow (Day 3): Sharing a simple red-flag checklist based on common scams. Got any specific ones you've encountered? Drop 'em - I'll include the best in the post.

From my brokerage days: Saw too many folks lose deposits to "brokers" who vanish. Transportvibe's verification pulls real USDOT/MC data + reviews from BBB/Trustpilot so you can check before booking. Building that trust layer step by step.

Okay I see

Loving Upscrolled !

I joined to Upscrolled 2 weeks ago and I already have almost 1 thousand friends here. It is the best platform I have ever used. No shitty AI, no shitty shadowban. As I always said this is a Truth social media platform.

Why you deleted it?

It's only 3PM but I am already tired I have no idea where this energy went already had 2 coffee going to the 3rd.

We don’t move cars.
We move through data.

FMCSA records > marketing promises.

That’s the whole Transportvibe idea.

Small win today: finished another company vetting.

Licensing ✅
Reviews ✅
History ✅

Feels boring…
but boring research saves people thousands.

Spent the morning checking a carrier’s USDOT + MC records on FMCSA.

Not exciting.
But this is how scams get avoided.

That’s literally what we do at Transportvibe.

Today’s work at Transportvibe:

Vetted another auto transport company.
FMCSA status. Reviews. History.

We don’t ship cars.
We verify who you’re trusting with yours.

Quick clarification: Transportvibe is NOT a broker or shipping company

We don’t arrange shipments.
We don’t handle payments.
We don’t move vehicles.

We’re only a research + review platform.

This is Transportvibe ! I am so glad to work in a company who puts people first all the time.

Good Morning, Entrepreneur! I know you will be very busy today, but trust me, it's worth it for everything you are putting in. Trust me, One day you will thank yourself.

Quick question for anyone who's grown an account or side hustle: What's one thing you wish you knew on Day 2? Best piece of advice that actually moved the needle? Drop it below - I'm all ears!

Small win: Drafted a quick tip post about "never pay big deposits upfront" based on my 7+ years in the game. Posting it soon to test the waters. The panic's still there ("am I doing this right?"), but showing up every day is winning so far.

Reminded myself why we're building this - too many people get burned, and Transportvibe can help spot the red flags early with verified info and honest reviews.

Big focus today: planning how to share real auto transport insights without sounding salesy. Pulled up some recent reviews and horror stories (like the ones with deposit ghosts and price jumps) to brainstorm content.
