Dealer Pricing & Volume Tiers
Dealer pricing is based on monthly shipment volume, transport type, route density, and vehicle condition. Independent dealers, franchise groups, and enterprise buyers receive structured tiers for long-term operational efficiency.
| Distance Band | Avg $/Mile (Open) | Typical Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| Independent (1–25 / mo) | 10–18% off retail | Online platform, CSV upload, standard billing |
| Franchise (26–75 / mo) | 18–28% off retail | Platform + dedicated AM, net-30 available |
| Group (76–200 / mo) | 28–38% off retail | Priority assignment, net-30 standard, dedicated AM |
| Enterprise (200+ / mo) | Custom — contact | Custom SLA, multi-rooftop reporting, assigned implementation |
- Monthly shipment volume (primary driver)
- Auction-yard release efficiency by location
- Vehicle type — oversized, non-running, salvage, flatbed
- Enclosed transport requests for high-value lots
- Route density and delivery markets
- Pickup urgency and expedited dispatch
- Auction release timing & post-sale scheduling
- Destination accessibility (metro vs remote)
Auction release timing and post-sale scheduling can affect carrier assignment — recurring weekly batches and typically secure better pricing than one-off bookings..
Auction Shipping vs Retail Delivery
| Feature | AUCTION SHIPPING | RETAIL OPEN TRANSPORT |
|---|---|---|
| Primary use | Auction to dealer lot | Dealer to retail buyer |
| Gate coordination | Included | Not required |
| Batch booking | Up to 50 per submission | Typically single units |
| Billing | Net-30 dealer invoicing | Retail quote & pay |
| Pricing | Volume tiers from shipment 1 | Per-shipment retail rate |
Dealer auction shipping moves inventory between auctions, lots, and reconditioning centers. Retail open transport is better when delivering sold inventory directly to a retail customer.
