Dealers & Wholesalers

Stock between yards, trade-ins from a customer’s driveway, auction purchases, and cars going out to interstate buyers. High frequency, low drama, which is exactly what you want from a carrier.

What dealers actually want is not a discount

It is predictability. A rate you can quote a customer without ringing anyone. A delivery date you can commit to on the phone. An invoice that reconciles without someone in accounts chasing it.

The discount matters, and volume gets you one. But an operator who is cheap and unpredictable costs you more in lost sales and awkward customer calls than the saving is worth.

How we run dealer accounts

• Standing rate card by corridor and vehicle class: no re-quoting, ever
• One account contact who knows your yards and your usual runs, not a general queue
• Consolidated invoicing that reconciles against your movements
• Condition report on every unit, which matters most when the car is going to a customer rather than another yard
• Scheduled recurring runs where volume justifies a fixed slot
• Direct-to-customer delivery with the presentation that implies

Trade-in collection

Collecting from a customer’s address is a slightly different job from yard-to-yard. The driver is representing you, not just moving freight. It gets handled accordingly.

Wholesale and remarketing

Bulk movement between auction houses, wholesalers and retail yards. Usually less urgent, usually consolidated, and priced hardest of anything we do because it is exactly the freight that fills scheduled runs.
