Manheim and Ready Auto Transport announced recently their collaboration to launch a new electronic gate pass process at all Manheim locations nationwide.

The delivery time-improving eGate Passes are electronically delivered for all customer vehicles directly to members to streamline the auction pick-up process.

John Blobner, the vice president and general manager for Ready Auto Transport, believes the new process will enhance the experience between his company, its carriers and Manheim buyers.

“We are pleased to help our carriers alleviate some of the obstacles they may have at the auction such as arriving after hours when a gate pass is not available,” Blobner said. “When Manheim buyers choose Ready Auto Transport for transportation, we verify the vehicle is ready and issue the eGate Pass directly to the carrier, eliminating dry runs because they’ll know the vehicle is ready and can avoid the wait.”

Ready Auto Transport and Manheim piloted the process and successfully released more than 3,000 vehicles without any issues at locations at Manheim Ohio, Manheim Detroit, Manheim Pittsburgh and Manheim Statesville.
