ALL the major HouseHold movers have daily lists of cars to be picked-up and their destinations. They FAX them every morning to carriers who haul them. First thing to do is to talk to them. Second thing to do would be to "lease" your equipment on with another carrier. But I can tell you right now, you are severly limiting yourself by only being willing to operate in three states.
Good Luck

I imagine by getting ahold of the Companies that handle the "Leases", since they "purchase" the car from the dealer and lease it to the leasee.
That also might give you an idea how to get information on "after auction" hauling, since most lease returns are bought by other dealers.

you will make more $$ and be home more, hauling from dealer auctions to dealers near you.

Manheim Pa is the largest auction in the world, and there are many other decent auctions in every state.
