Consignment & Auction
Maximum return for your fleet, handled end to end.
If you have time on your side and want the best price the market will pay, we market, consign, and auction your trailers for you — inspection through final sale.
Full service means full service
You hand us the fleet. We handle the rest:
- Inspection and condition reports on every unit, so buyers bid with confidence and pay accordingly
- Repair and value recommendations — which fixes will return more than they cost, and which won't
- Marketing to our buyer network of fleets, dealers, and lenders across the Southern U.S.
- Consignment sales for units that sell best through direct negotiation
- Auction for units and lots that sell best through competitive bidding
- Title, paperwork, and settlement — a clean accounting at the end
