Post it once. A haulier takes it.
Hauliers with space on that lane see the car. It can ride on a run that’s already going your way.
- No ringing round for a price
- Withdraw it any time before it’s taken
For dealers, leasing and auction houses
Move a car with one photo.
Send the car to LayBy on WhatsApp. It goes to the marketplace, or straight to the haulier you already use. You get a text with the hour it arrives.

The problem
One car. Six phone calls.
Most dealers still book transport by ringing round. Then they ring again to find out where the car is. Then the buyer rings them.
And when a car arrives damaged, nobody can say where it happened.
- A car is sold.The buyer wants it in Cork by Friday.
- Three calls, two voicemails.Every haulier is on the road.
- A price comes back.By text, with no date on it.
- The buyer rings.Where’s my car? You don’t know.
- It turns up with a scratch.Nobody photographed it at collection.

Marketplace
Direct
Two ways to send a car. Your choice.
Keep the haulier you trust. Use the marketplace when they’re full, or when you want the car moved sooner.
Straight to your haulier.
Send it to the firm you already use. They get it on their LayBy desk, ready to plan.
- Your relationship, your rates
- The same text updates either way
After you send it
Know when it lands. Know how it left.
Every car is photographed at collection and at delivery. You get a text with the hour it will arrive.
An hour, not a guess.
Worked out from where the truck is and the stops still ahead of yours. Sent by text.
Photos at both ends.
Taken by the driver before loading and before unloading. Kept with the job if anything is damaged.
Private by design.
You get the hour. Only the haulier sees where the truck is.
Text message · example
LayBy: Your car is on its way. It will arrive between 14:00 and 15:00 today.
Sent once the truck is on the road.
