(24,908 posts)My firm, as an example, tends to shy away from hauling Auction units, as all trade-ins tend to be. They add a layer of difficulty to auto transport that many larger firms that have as their primary contracts the movement of new units, won't take on.
Dealing with auctions from a car movement perspective, is a pain in the ass, plain and simple. But there are plenty of firms that have new car movement contracts that are willing to deal with them.
Fortunately, mine isn't one of them. FWIW, I have hauled HUNDREDS of auctions units while working for firms in the past and I can assure you, they suck, as a general rule.
It is very possible that this one multi line dealer (or dealer group) has such a contract with their primary new car delivering carrier. And as I said above, a zero mile deadhead is always good.
But often, the headache involved isn't worth it!
