Dealer Vehicle Transportation Services

No. Pickup timing depends on carrier availability, location, vehicle readiness, release requirements, weather, market conditions, access, and final carrier acceptance.

The first operating-priority group is South Florida / Miami, Atlanta, Orlando / Central Florida, and Chicago because Hermes is concentrating automotive carrier acquisition and direct-demand research there. Phoenix, Houston, Los Angeles / Orange County, and Inland Empire are the next validation group. These are priority markets, not claims of local Hermes offices, guaranteed carrier capacity, fixed rates, or recurring dealer volume.

Auction pickup coordination may be available when the exact facility, release information, buyer or stock reference, vehicle condition, pickup hours, storage deadline, timing, and destination are provided.

Yes. Those names may be selected as facility context so the review can ask for release status, buyer or stock reference, hours, storage deadline, keys, operability, and loading access. Hermes does not claim affiliation with Copart, IAA, or Manheim, and the facility's own requirements still control pickup.

Yes, when compatible carrier capacity is available. Vehicle count, size, operability, pickup location, delivery location, requested sequence, and timing must be reviewed first.

Enclosed capacity may be requested for luxury, classic, specialty, or higher-protection moves, subject to route, timing, equipment, access, and carrier availability.

Notify the agreed Hermes coordination contact and the assigned motor carrier as soon as the change is known. Keep facility notices, appointment or release information, timestamps, and communication records available so the authorized parties can confirm the cause and revised plan. Hermes can coordinate updates, but it does not guarantee a revised pickup or delivery time.

Record the vehicle condition before accepting delivery whenever possible, note visible exceptions on the bill of lading or condition report, take time-stamped photographs, and notify the transporting carrier and Hermes promptly. Hermes can coordinate the information flow, but liability, coverage, claim deadlines, review, and payment are determined by the motor carrier, insurer, applicable agreement, transportation documents, and law.

Yes. Wisconsin dealers can use the dedicated dealer transport, auction pickup, multi-vehicle, enclosed transport, city-level pages, and Wisconsin car shipping cost guide to prepare more specific requests.

Yes. Use the Port Vehicle Pickup page when the vehicle is being collected from a port, terminal, airport, warehouse, or similar facility and the review needs release status, access, storage deadline, timing, vehicle condition, and inland equipment context. Hermes does not represent customs brokerage or terminal operation on that page.

Hermes coordinates transportation information and carrier relationships. Unless explicitly stated for a specific transaction, transportation is performed by independent authorized motor carriers.

Provide origin and destination, vehicle year, make, model, number of vehicles, operability, release status, desired timing, open or enclosed preference, facility access, and authorized contact details. VIN and sensitive release details should be exchanged through a secure direct channel.
