Some dealers might see car haulers arrive at their stores a dozen times or more during a 60-day span, depending on inventory needs and which units are crossing the block.

Manheim is offering its dealer clients an exclusive 60-day free trial to experience what the company believes is a cost-effective way for them to manage their vehicle transport needs.

Central Dispatch is a self-managed transportation solution that can matches shippers with a nationwide network of professional auto carriers for inbound and outbound transportation needs. The Central Dispatch Instant Access promotion is available for sign up through the end of the year.

“Central Dispatch transformed the auto transportation industry when its digital platform came online in 1999 and has grown into the world's largest real-time auto transport marketplace,” said Jim Williams, senior vice president of logistics for Cox Automotive Inventory Solutions.

“Our free trial offer is a valuable opportunity for clients to experience the benefits of connecting and negotiating directly with nearly 12,000 auto transport companies who are eager to ship their cars, trucks and other vehicles,” Williams continued.

A solution of Manheim Logistics, Central Dispatch is one of the largest transportation platforms in the industry, averaging more than 500,000 posts monthly. The subscription service can connect shippers directly with a network of nearly 12,000 transport carriers on a platform that can provide competitive pricing and more control, including the ability to view ratings, insurance documentation and credentials to select the ideal carrier for their move.

Carriers use Central Dispatch as an inventory source with access to millions of cars representing more than $3 billion in load revenue annually.

Available to Manheim dealers who do not have an active Central Dispatch subscription, the company explained the Instant Access program can enable them to have easy access to the self-managed transportation solution, with a fast sign-up process and no credit card required.

“This extended free trial period ensures that Manheim dealers can take full advantage of the Central Dispatch platform and experience its benefits commitment-free for 60 days,” the company said.
