hi

i’m currently delivering cars on trade plates from dealership to dealership. I run the business with my wife and we are snowed under with work as we get our deliveries to the dealerships done very quickly with minimum fuss. However, recently we have been offered quite a few big jobs moving between 6-10 cars from one dealership to another which we have managed to do a couple of times but have also had to turn down due to the timesacle set by the dealer.

I dont really want to employ self-employed drivers as i dont want the hassle of managing them and relying on them to do the job right, insurance costs etc…

So would it be cost effective and possible to hire a car transporter + driver to deliver 6-10 cars from dealership to dealership.

If so what would be an average cost of moving 6-10 cars 50-100 miles, would it be one fixed cost per trip or per car…

any info would be great

I also move cars for dealers but transported max 2 at a time multicar deliveries can be very low cost but as the consignor your insurance would be excessive I would suggest joining movex or other jobsite to gauge prices .glad your busy unual to here a happy tradeplater these days

May be better off asking this on the owners and operators forum mate, might have a bit more luck there.
