Transport
Won a car at Copart, IAA, Manheim or another auction? We pick it up at the yard, running or not, and bring it to your driveway, shop or lot anywhere in the lower 48.
Velocity Logistics picks up at Copart, IAA and Manheim yards every day. Send your gate pass or release and the lot or stock number, and dispatch schedules the pickup with the yard, photographs the car at loading and delivers it door to door. Running, non-running and salvage vehicles are all fine. Book as soon as you've paid, because auctions start charging storage after a short free period.

Auction pickups
Good to know before pickup.
Have the release ready
Send the gate pass or release, the lot or stock number and the yard's address. Dispatch handles the pickup window with the yard.
Storage clock is running
Auctions charge storage after a short free period that they set, not us. Book as soon as you've paid so pickup lands before fees start.
Running or not
Tell us if it doesn't run, roll or steer. Dispatch plans loading at the yard and unloading at your door before the truck goes out.
Most auction pickups ride with a Velocity driver. If our schedule can't cover a yard or a date, we'll offer a vetted partner carrier and tell you before pickup.

Our own trucks and drivers

Request a QuoteWhich auctions do you pick up from?
Copart, IAA (Insurance Auto Auctions) and Manheim every day, plus other dealer and public auctions and storage lots. Send the yard's address with your quote request and dispatch confirms the pickup window.
What do you need from me to pick up at an auction?
The yard's address, the gate pass or release, the lot or stock number and the VIN, plus the year, make and model and whether it runs. Dispatch takes it from there and confirms the pickup window with the yard.
How soon should I book after I win?
As soon as you've paid. Auctions start charging storage after a short free period, and the length depends on the auction and the yard. Booking right away gives dispatch the best chance to pick up before fees start.
Can you haul a salvage or non-running vehicle?
Yes. Tell us in the form if it doesn't run, roll or steer, or has no keys. Dispatch plans loading at the yard and unloading at your door before the truck goes out, and our equipment includes hydraulic liftgate trailers. A non-running vehicle costs more to load than one that drives on.
What about the title?
The title is between you and the auction. If the yard hands the driver any paperwork with the vehicle, it comes to you at delivery with the car.
Will you document the vehicle's condition at pickup?
Yes. The driver photographs the vehicle at the yard before loading and again at delivery, and you get a digital bill of lading. Auction cars often have damage already, so the pickup photos protect you.
Are you part of Copart, IAA or Manheim?
No. Velocity Logistics is an independent, licensed and insured motor carrier based in Indianapolis. Buyers hire us to pick up at the auction and deliver to their door.
How do I get a quote, and how fast will I hear back?
Fill out the quote form with your vehicle details, pickup and delivery ZIP codes, and timeline, or call us. We email you a clear, all-in quote, typically within minutes during business hours. To book, you add the remaining details, read and sign your agreement, and pay your deposit by credit card or ACH through our online portal.
Is my vehicle insured during transport?
Yes. Velocity Logistics is a fully insured, licensed motor carrier (USDOT 4494211, MC 1777008), and every partner carrier we use is vetted for active authority and cargo insurance. Every move includes an inspection with photos at pickup and delivery and a digital bill of lading, so the vehicle's condition is documented end to end.
