01Who qualifies

Three audiences run wholesale with us.

The program is built around regular volume. Pick the path that matches you.

01 — Primary

Dealers and resellers

You buy at Copart, IAAI, Manheim, Adesa, and other US auto auctions in regular volume and ship containers to your market. A rate that holds lets you plan your bidding margin around a known shipping cost.

Apply for wholesale
02

Auction brokers

You bid for overseas end-buyers and need a freight partner with a branded customer portal, API access, and white-label documentation. Brokers have their own partner program.

Broker program
03

Destination forwarders

You are forwarding at the destination and need a US-side NVOCC partner. Peer-to-peer relationship, in-house HBL, named US ops contact.

02How wholesale rates work

The rate is set at the start. It stays.

Two kinds of line item, two rules. Our charges hold. Carrier and port charges move with the market, with notice before your next booking.

i. What we lock

Our work, our charges.

  • Warehouse: receiving, handling, container loading
  • Documentation: ISF, AES, HBL, export docs
  • Dispatch

Set once, then the same on every shipment.

ii. Pass-through

Set by carriers, ports, and government.

  • Inland trucking
  • Ocean freight
  • Fuel and bunker surcharges
  • Origin port charges and THC
  • CBP customs exam, when one is ordered

Guaranteed quote. When carriers change their pricing, you see the new numbers before your next shipment is booked. Never retroactive.

Example: a rate across 18 months

Months 1 to 6. Rate set at the start. Six shipments, same billed rate.

Month 7. Carrier raises. You see the new number before you book.

Months 7 to 12. New rate, six more shipments, same number.

Month 13. Carrier drops. You receive the new lower rate.

Month 13 on. New rate.

04Why direct carrier contracts matter to your rate

No 3PL in the middle. No rate broker.

Container

Maersk, MSC, CMA CGM, Hapag-Lloyd, COSCO, OOCL

Booked directly on our own carrier contracts.

RoRo

Höegh, Wallenius, ACL, Sallaum, K Line, Grimaldi

Roll-on, roll-off lanes on direct carrier relationships.

Two decades of bookings

We book directly with the carriers. What this means for you.

  1. No middleman in your rate.

    There is no 3PL handoff between the carrier and your quote, so there is no 3PL markup in it.

  2. We know early when markets move.

    Our carrier reps call us before the change hits the portal. We pass the notice to you with time to plan.

  3. We get the call when space is tight.

    Two decades of steady bookings put us at the front of the line when carriers ration capacity.

06What happens next

The first conversation. The quote. The first shipment.

The first conversation

What we'll cover.

Your lanes: the origin warehouses you use and the destination ports. Your volume and cadence. Whether the wholesale model fits your operation. If it does, we will quote you and create an account.

Payment

How money moves.

The BL is released upon payment of the quoted amount. That is the rule for every shipment on every account.

  • No exclusivity agreement.
  • No lock-in contract.
  • The relationship stays open as long as you keep shipping and we keep delivering.
07Common questions

What wholesale applicants ask before applying.

Q1
Do you bid at auctions for us?

No. We are an NVOCC, not an auction broker. We pick up after you have won the lot and paid Copart, IAAI, Manheim, or Adesa.

Q2
Do you ship to OFAC-sanctioned destinations?

No. We do not ship to Iran, North Korea, Syria, Crimea, or any other OFAC-sanctioned location, regardless of routing.

Q3
How does the title team work?

The team checks title status on every vehicle before booking, chases late titles, and works lien releases and duplicates.

Q4
How often do wholesale rates change?

When the carrier changes its pricing in response to the market. There is no calendar and no annual review. When the carrier notifies us of a rate change, we notify you before your next shipment is booked. You decide whether to book at the new rate or wait. A rate change never applies to a shipment that has already been booked.

Q5
How fast is auction pickup?

Three business days from the date your vehicle becomes available. We need your lot number, buyer ID, and confirmed title, at Copart, IAAI, Manheim, Adesa, and other auto auctions in the continental US. Auction yards start charging for storage, so the sooner the vehicle is released, the sooner we can pick it up.

Q6
How do payment terms work for new accounts?

We release the shipment as soon as payment is received.
