Vehicle movements for dealers and trade buyers
5 min read · last updated 2026-08-22
Trade movements fail for boring reasons: unpredictable cost, drivers who renegotiate, and no paper trail at month end. Solving those three things matters more than shaving a few pounds off a single job.
Budget from a published matrix
When prices come from a fixed matrix of mileage bands, transporter type and collection window, you can forecast movement cost per unit before you buy the stock. That is not possible on a bidding platform where each job is a negotiation.
Move several vehicles at once
Where more than one vehicle is going the same way, each additional vehicle is discounted on a published ladder, because the transporter is already making the trip. Auction runs and site-to-site rebalancing benefit most.
Business accounts and paperwork
A business account lets your team book against one company profile, keeps jobs visible to the people who need them, and produces per-job invoices you can reconcile. Individual staff can still book privately when a move is personal.
Vetting is a commercial issue, not a formality
Every transporter on the platform submits goods-in-transit and liability insurance, operator licensing and fleet detail for review before they can accept work. For trade movements that is what protects your margin when something goes wrong.
Common questions
- Can we set up account payment terms?
- Business accounts get per-job invoicing and a consolidated view of movements. Talk to us about volume before you commit stock to a run.
- Do you handle auction collections?
- Yes — auction and compound collections are routine. Give the lot or stock reference and the release deadline when booking.
