Private dealer would like advice about posting loads on getloaded and Central Dispatch

Albert, I don't know about anyone else, but I at least applaud you for asking.

Far to many brokers/dealers will post cars/trucks with no other notes, some are far from drive on and drive off. I am sure others will chime in, but I always like the vehicle to be listed as wrecked, even if it runs, why? because, I may have a very expensive load of cargo on the trailer and don't want even a loose piece of plastic to come off and scratch another vehicle.

I also appreciate it when people list where wrecks are coming from, why? Because there are some places that I just am not interested in picking up at, why? Because I have gotten more flat tires than you can imagine at some Co-Part type yards, don't get me wrong, it's great that they will load it, but that isn't the whole equation, at least as far as I am concerned.

I also appreciate when brokers list a vehicle as a re-po, because plain and simple, a LOT of those places are a PITA to deal with, that's all I have.

 

Lol, he's basically saying, be as descriptive as possible so I can avoid it... Or know I need to charge extra for the hassles involved.

I have a hijack question. I drive by a huge auction place from time to time and wonder how these Co-part auction car deals work out. Do they have good deals?

 

I'll be honest Albert, I don't run a 10 car, and you can ask that question of 10 transporters and get eleven different answers, I think a LOT of it just depends on how close that truck is to that pickup/drop, and does he have one space left, or 5 spaces, it all just depends.

I really think it would be better if you DO list a price though, because a LOT, (probably most) guys searching will put in either a cpm, or dollar amount they are looking for, without any price, I don't think your shipment will show up on a search, unless you are just doing an area to state with NO pricing.

Hope that helps.
