Hermes Logistics · Auction Vehicle Pickup
Auction Vehicle Pickup Services
Hermes reviews auction vehicle pickup requests for dealers, businesses, and private buyers. The exact facility, release status, vehicle condition, pickup hours, storage deadline, route, and access rules must be known before carrier coordination begins.
The direct request reviews facility, route, timing, condition, equipment preference, release status, and storage deadline without guaranteeing pickup, price, equipment, capacity, or outcome. Keep VINs and release credentials in a secure direct channel.
Who this is for
- Dealers buying vehicles from auctions
- Businesses moving purchased or sold inventory
- Private buyers arranging a known pickup and delivery
- Brokers and shippers coordinating authorized auction pickups
Operational value
Clear coordination around real vehicle movement.
Condition disclosure
Operability, damage, dimensions, keys, and whether the vehicle starts, rolls, steers, and brakes are documented before equipment review.
Facility access planning
Pickup hours, appointment rules, loading requirements, access restrictions, and reliable contacts are organized before coordination.
Storage deadline awareness
Storage deadlines are recorded as planning inputs without guaranteeing pickup until route, equipment, and capacity are confirmed.
Equipment matching
Open, enclosed, inoperable-capable, hotshot, or multi-car equipment requests are reviewed against the actual vehicle and route.
Clear non-affiliation boundary
Copart, IAA, Manheim, and other facility names may be used only as pickup context. Hermes does not claim affiliation and does not replace the facility's own release or pickup rules.

Frequently asked questions
Important details before starting.
What information is required for an auction pickup?
Provide the exact facility, release status, buyer or stock reference, pickup hours, storage deadline, vehicle condition, keys, route, and authorized contacts.
Can I submit a Copart, IAA, or Manheim pickup?
Yes. The direct request can record the facility context, but Hermes is not affiliated with Copart, IAA, or Manheim. Their release, payment, appointment, loading, and pickup rules must be confirmed with the actual location.
Can an inoperable auction vehicle be transported?
It may be reviewed. State whether the vehicle starts, rolls, steers, and brakes so loading equipment and handling requirements can be evaluated.
Can Hermes guarantee pickup before storage fees begin?
No. Storage deadlines should be disclosed, but timing depends on route, access, equipment, compliance, carrier availability, and final confirmation.
Is Hermes affiliated with auction facilities?
No affiliation is implied. Facility release, payment, pickup, appointment, and loading requirements must be confirmed with the actual location.
Can several auction vehicles move together?
Yes, when compatible capacity is available. Vehicle count, condition, dimensions, pickup readiness, route, and timing must be reviewed first.
How do I prepare the request?
Use the direct auction pickup intake and submit non-sensitive route, timing, release-status, equipment-preference, and vehicle details. Exchange VINs, documents, and release credentials through a secure direct channel.
