Dealer & Business Fleet Transport
Commercial vehicle movement runs on different priorities than a consumer move: gate hours, release paperwork, lot contacts, consolidated invoicing and predictable weekly routing. We staff it that way.
Ship Station Auto Transport handles dealer trades and transfers, auction pickups, off-lease returns, rental redistribution and corporate fleet relocations across all 50 states.
Best suited for
- Franchise and independent dealerships
- Auction buyers and wholesalers
- Corporate and government fleets
- Rental and subscription fleets
- Relocation management companies
One contact for the whole load
You get a named specialist, not a queue. That person handles dispatch, gate scheduling, release codes, driver contact and delivery confirmation for every unit on the load.
For recurring moves, we set standing routing so your Monday transfers don't need to be rebooked every week.
Auction pickups and buyer numbers
Auction lots run on strict release windows and storage fees start fast. Give us the auction, lot, buyer number and gate pass details at booking and we dispatch inside the release window rather than after it.
We work the major national auction chains as well as regional and salvage sales.
Billing, insurance and documentation
We invoice the business directly on approved terms rather than collecting from a driver at the curb. Certificates of insurance are available before dispatch, and every unit gets a condition report at pickup and delivery.
Every carrier we dispatch is licensed, bonded and carries a minimum of $2,000,000 in cargo insurance.
What speeds up a commercial dispatch
- VIN list with year, make and model for each unit.
- Pickup and delivery lot addresses with gate hours.
- On-site contact name and phone at both ends.
- Auction buyer number and release or gate pass, if applicable.
- Billing contact and PO number if your process requires one.
Common questions
- Do you offer business billing terms?
- Yes. Approved commercial accounts are invoiced directly rather than paying the driver at delivery.
- How many vehicles can move on one load?
- Seven to ten on a standard open carrier, and two to six enclosed. Larger volumes are split across scheduled loads.
- Can you set up recurring weekly routes?
- Yes — standing routing is available for dealers and fleets with predictable volume.
