Before you start
Confirm the auction location and release requirements. If the vehicle is not running, note that early. A carrier needs usable pickup instructions, a destination contact, and a realistic timing window to match the shipment correctly.
Operational planning
Plan the lane before release time becomes storage time.
Enter the pickup and delivery points, timing, and vehicle details in the live planning tool. For auction shipments, have the auction name, release status, lot or stock reference, and any inoperable condition notes ready.
What happens next
Once the shipment details are submitted, the transport team reviews the route and vehicle requirements, confirms a transport approach, and coordinates pickup and delivery. Complex multi-unit or time-sensitive movements may need a custom operating plan.
