Dealer freight is the core of what we do

Trades between stores, auction runs, recon shuttles, and the trade-in that no longer starts. This is the work the operation was built around, not a sideline we also accept.

What it means for your store

01

Built for volume

Standing weekly lanes between your store, the auction, and recon. Booked once, run on schedule, not renegotiated every time.

02

Sale-day deadlines

Dispatch works backwards from your sale date, not forwards from whenever a truck frees up.

03

Trade-ins and non-runners

The unit that will not start is not a separate phone call to a separate company. Winch-equipped trailers are part of the same fleet.

04

One point of contact

The person who books your load is the person who tracks it. No rotating queue, no re-explaining your account.

01

Auction runs

Units to and from sale. Dispatch schedules backwards from your sale date, so the vehicle is on the lot before it needs to be, not the morning it is due.

02

Dealer trades

Store-to-store transfers when the car your customer wants is at another rooftop. Single units or several at once on the same trailer.

03

Recon shuttles

Repeat moves between your lot, body shop and detail. Short lanes, high frequency — the kind of work that quietly eats a porter's whole week.

04

Non-running trade-ins

Winch-equipped trailers are part of the same fleet, so the unit that will not start is not a separate vendor and a separate invoice.

05

High-value units

Enclosed equipment for vehicles where a rock chip on the way to the sale is a real cost. Soft-tie only, lift gate loading.

06

Wholesale moves

Aged inventory heading out, wholesale buys coming in. Volume lanes priced as volume rather than as a stack of one-off quotes.
