Logistics Golden Rules

  • Central Dispatch is the central marketplace connecting dealers with over 20,000 active car-haulers.
  • Always verify carrier active FMCSA operating authority and minimum $100,000 cargo insurance coverage.
  • Every vehicle pickup requires a signed Bill of Lading (BOL) with detailed pre-existing damage notations.

A great auction buy can turn into a logistical nightmare if a vehicle sits in an auction overflow yard accumulating $35/day gate storage fees. Efficient dispatching protects your deal velocity.

1. Calculating Benchmark Freight Rates

Current national car-hauling freight rates operate on tiered distance corridors:

  • Short-Haul (0–250 Miles): Flat fee $175 – $350 ($1.75–$2.20/mile)
  • Regional (250–600 Miles): $1.35 – $1.65/mile
  • Long-Haul (600+ Miles): $1.05 – $1.30/mile
"El acceso directo a subastas de concesionario permite a los operadores independientes adquirir inventario entre un 15% y 30% por debajo del precio minorista, eliminando márgenes de intermediarios."
