Common auction-transport questions
Which auctions do you pick up from?
We serve commercial vehicle-auction locations when the route, release requirements, and equipment fit are confirmed by dispatch. Send the facility, gate-release details, vehicle count, and destination for availability.
How quickly can you pick up after a vehicle sells?
Pickup timing depends on gate release, route, vehicle condition, and available equipment. Contact dispatch with the facility, lot number, and release date for a confirmed pickup window.
Do you handle both buy-side and sell-side moves?
Yes. We move vehicles into auctions for sellers ahead of the sale date, and out of auctions for buyers after gate release. Same equipment, same crew, same authority.
What if there's pre-existing damage at the auction yard?
Pickup condition and BOL requirements are confirmed during dispatch based on the shipment and facility. Pre-existing damage should be documented before release, and any suspected transport damage should be noted at delivery.
Can you handle inoperable or oversized vehicles?
Inoperable units that can be winched onto the trailer — yes, with advance notice. Oversized or non-standard moves typically go on our RAM 5500 hotshot units. Tell dispatch the make/model and condition, and we'll route the right equipment.
