Transport
Bought at Manheim, in the lane or online? We pick up at the auction with your release and deliver to your lot, your shop or your retail customer anywhere in the lower 48, one unit or a full load.
Velocity Logistics picks up at Manheim auctions every day. Send the release or gate pass and the VIN, and dispatch schedules the pickup with the auction, photographs every unit at loading and delivers it door to door. Our semis carry 7 to 9 vehicles, so multi-unit buys can move together. Book as soon as the sale clears, because auctions start charging storage after a short free period.

Manheim pickups
Good to know before your Manheim pickup.
Release and VIN
Send the release or gate pass, the VIN and the auction's location. Dispatch sets the pickup window with the auction.
Several units, one truck
Our semis carry 7 to 9 vehicles and our pickup rigs 3 to 5, so a multi-unit buy can ride together and the per-unit cost stays down.
Straight to your customer
Sold it already? We deliver to your lot or straight to the retail buyer's door, with photos at both ends for your records.
Most Manheim pickups ride with a Velocity driver. If our schedule can't cover an auction or a date, we'll offer a vetted partner carrier and tell you before pickup.

Request a QuoteDo you pick up from Manheim?
Yes, every day. Send the release or gate pass, the VIN and the auction's location, and dispatch confirms a pickup window with the auction. Every unit is photographed at loading and at delivery.
Can you move several units from one sale?
Yes. Add every vehicle to the quote form, or call dispatch with the list. Our semis carry 7 to 9 vehicles and our pickup rigs 3 to 5, so units from one sale can ride together.
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.
