Dealer and Fleet Vehicle Transport

A dealership does not need a quote, it needs a system: the same lanes, week after week, moved at rates that respect the volume and with one person to call when a trade has to be on the lot by Friday. That is the service this page describes.

How does fleet and dealer pricing differ from retail?

Repetition earns rates. When we know a dealer runs the same lanes monthly, we price those lanes against committed carrier relationships instead of the spot market, and the savings compound with volume. Send your typical lanes and monthly counts by email and we return a rate sheet, not a sales call.

Can you run auction-to-lot chains on a schedule?

That is the core of dealer work: cars won at Copart, IAAI, Manheim, or ADESA moved to the lot before storage fees bite, week in and week out. The mechanics live in our auction pickup guide, and for regular buyers we standardize the paperwork handoff so each new VIN is a text, not a project.

How do multi-car loads work for dealers?

Two to four vehicles from one origin ride one truck with per-car discounts, and larger blocks split across carriers we coordinate as a single job with one point of contact. Mixed loads, the trade-ins heading out as the sold units come in, are everyday work on dealer lanes.

What about cars without plates or with in-transit paperwork?

Transport never needs plates, carriers load and haul on the VIN and the release, which is exactly how new inventory and dealer trades move nationwide. Title-pending and in-transit-tagged vehicles ship routinely, just flag the paperwork status when booking so the delivery side expects it.

Who actually answers when something changes?

The same people every time. Dealer accounts get a direct line, honest ETAs, and the delivery order and documents flowing to your team automatically at dispatch. Volume shippers like Reginald, who moves multiple vehicles at a time, book with one email because the system already knows their lanes.

Dealer and fleet questions

Is there a minimum monthly volume for dealer rates?

No hard floor, a dealer moving even three or four cars a month on repeat lanes prices better than spot. The more predictable the lanes, the sharper the sheet.

Can you invoice our dealership instead of per-car payment?

Established accounts can arrange consolidated billing by email once a relationship is running. New accounts start on standard per-shipment terms while we build the history.

Do you handle dealer trades between two dealerships?

Daily, both directions, with each store's contact on the paperwork. The releasing store hands off on the VIN, the receiving store signs the delivery, and your customer never knows the car crossed three states.

Can retail customers of our dealership book through you too?

Yes, many dealers hand our calculator link to out-of-state buyers, and the buyer books their own shipment in minutes. The dealership just releases the vehicle to the assigned carrier.
