Who This Service Is For

Dealer auto transport is ideal for franchised new-car dealerships that need to move inventory between rooftops, accept dealer trades from out-of-state partners, or receive vehicles from factory distribution centers. Independent used-car dealers sourcing inventory from auctions, wholesale sellers, or private acquisitions use this service regularly. Fleet management companies relocating vehicles between depot locations, rental car companies redistributing vehicles across markets, and automotive remarketing firms handling off-lease returns also rely on dealer transport services.

Dealer Trade and Inventory Transport

Dealer trades are a routine part of modern automotive retailing. When a customer wants a specific color or trim that your lot does not have, you need to source it from another dealer. Zoomhaulers coordinates fast dealer trade pickups with transit times typically ranging from one to five days for regional moves. Our carrier network covers all major dealer-to-dealer corridors across the country.

Inventory transport from manufacturer distribution centers, port processing facilities, or rail yards is another common use case. We coordinate multi-vehicle moves with flexible scheduling to match your receiving capacity and minimize lot congestion.

Auction and Wholesale Pickups

Purchasing inventory at dealer-only auctions requires fast, dependable transport. Auctions have strict vehicle release windows and storage fees begin accumulating quickly. Zoomhaulers coordinates pickups from all major auction lanes including Manheim, ADESA, and regional dealer-only auctions. Carriers familiar with auction terminal procedures handle check-in, vehicle release, and loading efficiently to avoid unnecessary storage charges.

How Dealer Transport Works

Dealers can submit single-unit or multi-unit orders through our platform. For each vehicle, provide the pickup address or auction location, delivery address, vehicle year, make, model, and condition. Running vehicles are loaded and unloaded under their own power. Non-running units require special handling and should be noted at the time of booking.

Carriers are assigned based on route coverage, carrier rating, and schedule availability. Transit updates are provided throughout the shipment. At delivery, the dealer representative inspects each vehicle against the Bill of Lading before signing. All carrier documentation is available for your records.

Dealer Transport Pricing

Dealer auto transport pricing depends on route distance, vehicle size, transport type, and volume. Standard sedans and compact vehicles cost less to ship than full-size trucks and SUVs due to space and weight differences. Open transport via multi-car carrier is the industry standard for dealer inventory and provides the best combination of cost and turnaround. Enclosed transport is available for high-value units on request.

Dealers moving consistent volume benefit from preferred carrier relationships and more competitive rates. Contact our team to discuss volume pricing and recurring transport agreements for your operation.
