Your dealer-trade truck, direct from the carrier.
Store-to-store trades, auction buys to the frontline, customer home deliveries and recon shuttles for dealerships across the Upstate, Charlotte, Asheville, Columbia and Atlanta, on a standing dealer-vendor agreement.
Illustrative photography — not Prime Trans equipment.Fewer hands, faster answers, one truck that knows your lots.
One call, no per-move paperwork
A standing dealer-vendor agreement replaces the marketplace posting, the wait for a bite, and the carrier you have never met.
The photo record
Timestamped inspection photos at both ends on the eBOL, shared with your used-car manager along with the POD. Damage disputes get settled by the record, not by memory.
Dispatch that answers
Dealers who leave national marketplaces all say the same thing: they want a carrier who answers within minutes. Dispatch answers calls and texts Mon–Sat, 7am–7pm ET and confirms every pickup in writing.

Straight answers
What is a dealer-vendor agreement?
A standing agreement between the dealership or group and Prime Trans that sets rates, insurance, claims terms and billing once, so every later move is a phone call or a text, not a signature.
How fast can you move a trade?
Usually the same day inside the Greenville–Spartanburg–Anderson triangle when the unit is released by noon, and next day for Charlotte, Asheville and Columbia. The exact windows go in your agreement.
Do you photograph the cars?
Every panel, the VIN, the odometer and the interior, at pickup and again at delivery. The photos are timestamped on the electronic bill of lading and sent to your used-car manager with the POD. That record has settled more false damage claims than any conversation.
Can you pick up our auction buys?
Yes: Manheim, America's Auto Auction, Copart, IAA and ADESA, with the release or gate PIN you send us. Non-runners go on a winch truck, so tell us at booking.
What are your payment terms?
Net 15 for approved accounts, COD (check, ACH or Zelle on delivery), or prepaid by card, ACH or wire. Groups can get one consolidated invoice a week.

Or send a week of them and let us price the lane.
