“ANY VEHICLE - ANYWHERE”

ADESA – Transport

The department manages the movement of hundreds of vehicles each week and that adds up to thousands of vehicles a year. Actually, we coordinated the movement of 47,000 units in 2010, throughout Canada and the US. 32,000 of those were moved by our own drivers. Not all of them came into or went out of the auction. We are able to coordinate the movement of any vehicle anywhere in North America. What are we offering? Essentially, we provide our customer base with a “one stop shop” option. A customer makes a call to us and we coordinate the unit move.

We maintain alliances and partnerships with leading Transport Carriers in order to provide our customers with efficient and cost effective service quality. We may sub-contract work in Vancouver if our calendar is full and we are unable to handle a move ourselves. Anyone we sub-let work to has met with our very stringent insurance and WCB coverage requirements. If a carrier or drive-away service has not met these standards, we will not use them.

We are fortunate at ADESA Richmond to have connections with a Transport department at every ADESA auction through-out North America. So that’s 13 Auctions in Canada and 46 in the US. If we can’t figure it out here, we have a ton of resources available.

If you do not have an account with ADESA Richmond, payment can be made prior to the move through our office ADESA – Car carrier

Car Carrier Operations:

ADESA Transport here in Richmond has developed solid relationships with multi-unit transport carriers across Canada and the US. Every one of them has met with stringent Insurance and WCB (as required) guidelines set by ADESA.

Whether you are moving 1 or 1001 units anywhere, we’ll be able to help. Our dispatch folks keep in contact with these GPS equipped carriers on a daily basis in order for us to provide: first available space - costing information - landing estimates. This allows you to just “one stop shop” by calling ADESA Transport Dispatch.

The carrier would invoice ADESA and then we’ll invoice you if you are approved. Otherwise it would be a prepaid option. Cash - Visa - MasterCard

We can help coordinate unit moves into Canada from the US. We have the benefit of having auction sites all over North America so this allows us to tap into the local knowledge of our sister Transport Departments wherever that might be.

ADESA - Rail

Rail Operations:

We can coordinate longer distance moves by utilizing another long established relationship we maintain.

Moving units by rail car is an efficient and cost effective way to move a vehicle longer distances. From Montreal to Vancouver for example. If you are moving 1 or 1001, we can get the ball rolling and make it happen.

We can coordinate the pick up of a unit from any location, take it to the rail loading yard and arrange delivery or pick up at the other end. You can call us to get it started and then just let it happen. If you wanted to monitor the movement, we can provide you with a tracking number and you can call us. The rail operator sends us an up to date report every night that gives the status of all of our moves and the unit location. Yes, even if it is staging in a side yard in Manitoba somewhere, we’d know.

ADESA – Towing and Trailers

ADESA Toy moves:

Living out here on the west coast of Canada, we tend to enjoy our leisure time on the water, on the road and in the bush. So we at ADESA Transport have to be prepared to move these toys.

Many of our company vehicles are equipped with tow packages so that we can help with these moves. We have access to a fifth wheel equipped truck and we own two motorcycle / ATV trailers. Some of our drivers have boats of their own and are therefore comfortable and capable of towing boats and trailers safely.

A few of our drivers are motorcycle fanatics and they can drive anything from a Harley Davidson,to a Goldwing, to something fast that you have to lean all over the gas tank to reach the handle bars. Ouch. Or we can put the bike in the trailer and move it that way.
