- Open or enclosed equipment request and any low-clearance loading needs
- Requested pickup window, delivery constraints, and an authorized backup contact
What to Confirm in Writing

|---|---|
| Price | Route-specific amount, included services, and any account terms |

Auction and Customer-Delivery Planning
For an auction pickup, confirm that the vehicle is paid, released, accessible, and correctly identified before sending a carrier. For customer delivery, verify safe and legal access and make sure an authorized adult can compare the delivery condition with the pickup Bill of Lading before signing.
A Realistic Dealer Scenario
A dealership purchases several vehicles from different auction lanes. Instead of assuming one price or pickup window applies to every unit, the dealer submits each release document and vehicle condition, groups compatible routes, and reviews the written estimates. The assigned carriers and pickup contacts are confirmed before storage deadlines, reducing avoidable failed pickups.
