Dealer shipping built for inventory speed.
Auction lane runs, dealer trades, port to lot, lot to customer. Volume pricing, monthly billing, and one rep who knows your store.
Vehicle Shipping, Priced in 30 Seconds.
Instant quotes, vetted carriers, dispatched in 24 hours , anywhere in America.
Dealers move cars, not retail packages.
Your inventory cycle is days, not weeks. The car you bought at Manheim Pennsylvania has to be on your lot in Charlotte before the weekend, detailed, and on the line. The Tahoe you traded to a sister store needs to roll today, not Friday. The retail unit you sold online needs to be at the customer's driveway in 5 days or they cancel and you eat the F&I.
Whipshipper runs dealer freight as a separate book. Your account has a single rep who knows your stores, your lanes, and your tolerance for delay. Auction lane runs are scheduled, not begged for. Dealer trades are dispatched same day on most pairs of cities. Sold unit delivery is white glove if you need it.
Volume pricing scales with monthly cars. Monthly invoicing instead of card per load. Optional API so your DMS pushes loads directly without anyone typing VINs.
Why dealer groups use Whipshipper
Built for inventory turns, not for one off retail shoppers.
Volume pricing tiers
10, 25, 50, 100 cars a month tiers. Real discount, not a coupon code. Locked in once your monthly volume averages in.
Dedicated account rep
One person, one phone, one email. Knows your stores, your salespeople, your tolerance for stale inventory.
Monthly billing, Net 15
Single invoice, paid Net 15 or Net 30 depending on volume. No card on file per load.
API and DMS integration
Optional API that pulls VINs from your DMS, builds loads, and pushes ETAs back into your inventory feed.
Auction lane scheduling
Manheim, ADESA, Copart, IAA, ACV. Standing lanes with windows, not gambling on the open load board.
Dealer trade speed
Same day dispatch on most paired city dealer trades. We know which routes are tight and which need a backup carrier.

How dealer onboarding works
Four steps from intro to live.
Kickoff call
30 minute call with your account rep. We map your stores, lanes, volume estimate, and pain points.
Pricing tier confirmation
We send a written tier sheet with your rates per lane band, billing terms, and SLAs. You sign once.
API or DMS sync, optional
If you want auto load creation, we connect to your DMS. Takes 1 to 2 weeks. Manual entry still works.
Go live
First load through your account portal or rep. Monthly invoice cycles start, billing posts every 15th and 30th.
Dealer lane categories
Six categories we run for stores.
Auction lane runs
Standing weekly lanes from Manheim, ADESA, ACV, Copart, IAA into your store. Scheduled, not gambled.
Dealer trades

Port to lot
OEM port arrivals to your dealer lot, with shipment manifest matched to your DMS.
Sold unit retail delivery
Customer pickup or driveway delivery with photos and SMS updates to the buyer.
Service loaner relocation

What customers say
Verified shipments. Real names. Real routes.
“We were dragging the open load board for auction runs. Switched to Whipshipper, scheduled Manheim lanes, no more weekend scrambles. Saved us a finance manager hire.”
“API sync into our DMS killed manual VIN entry. Loads create themselves, ETAs flow back. Our salespeople know when the car arrives, customer texts go out automatic.”
“Sold unit retail delivery is our differentiator now. Customer gets photos, SMS, ETA. Closes more out of state deals than any walk in promotion we tried.”
