Auction transport has its own rules.
Copart, Manheim, IAA, ADESA, ACV. Each one has its own pickup process, its own gate fees, its own time windows, and its own quirks. Manheim wants a specific gate pass. Copart charges storage after a certain day. IAA salvage has different rules than IAA clean title. ADESA wants the buyer ID with the gate pass. A regular auto broker fumbles this stuff. We do not.
Whipshipper runs auction lanes every day. Carriers who know which gate to use, which buyer document to bring, and how to handle storage charges if your title release is slow. Whether you bought one car at Copart, you are a dealer with a standing weekly Manheim run, or you are flipping IAA salvage units to a buyer in another state, we handle the pickup and delivery without you babysitting the load.
Salvage cars are quoted with non running fees built in when needed. Clean title cars run normal rates. Lane discounts apply for repeat dealer buyers.

Auction shipping tips
Six things that save you money and headaches.
Book pickup before title release
If you book early, the carrier dispatches the day title releases. No storage charges.
Confirm gate fees
Some auctions bundle, some bill separately. Ask before booking, get it in writing.
Non running, declare it
If the car does not run, tell us. Carrier brings a winch. Small inop fee, no surprise charges.
Multi car loads
Buying multiple at the same auction? Bundle into one carrier load and save 10 to 20 percent.
Photo at pickup
Carrier photographs the car at the gate before loading. You see condition matches the auction listing.
Watch the storage clock
Copart and Manheim both start charging after a few days. We dispatch fast to beat the clock.
