Copart operates the largest network of salvage and clean-title auctions in the United States, with over 200 yards across the country. Buyers — dealers, rebuilders, exporters, and retail customers — win vehicles online and then need to coordinate pickup quickly to avoid storage fees ($30-$50/day after the initial pickup window). Heartland Auto Transport dispatches to Copart yards fast, handles the salvage-specific logistics (winches, non-running vehicles, missing keys), and delivers to wherever you need the vehicle.

What Heartland's Copart Auto Transport Includes

Storage Fee Urgency

Copart's standard pickup window is typically 3-5 business days after sale. After that, daily storage fees accumulate. A two-week delay can add $300-$500 to your effective cost. We dispatch quickly to minimize storage exposure.

Salvage & Non-Running Vehicles

Most Copart vehicles have damage, may not start, or are missing keys. Standard auto carriers can't always handle these conditions. Our network includes winch-equipped flatbed and rollback carriers for non-running pickups, plus drivers experienced with damaged-vehicle loading.

Gate Procedure

Copart yards have specific release procedures: gate pass, member ID verification, payment confirmation. Our drivers know the Copart system and bring appropriate documentation.

Export & Dealer Coordination

Many Copart buyers are export dealers shipping vehicles to international destinations. We handle the U.S.-side transport to ports, container yards, and consolidators with appropriate documentation for export.

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast can you pick up from a Copart yard?

Usually within 1–3 business days of receiving your lot number and gate release. Copart charges daily storage after the free period ends, so we prioritize auction pickups and can often dispatch next-day from high-volume yards like Birmingham.

What do you need from me to pick up my Copart vehicle?

Three things: the lot number, your buyer/member number, and confirmation the vehicle is paid in full. Copart won't release a unit until payment clears, and the driver presents your details at the gate to load it.

Can you transport a non-running Copart vehicle?

Yes — a large share of Copart purchases are inop, and we assign winch-equipped carriers for them. Tell us the condition when booking (does it roll, brake, and steer?) so the right equipment shows up. Winch loading adds roughly $150–$250.

Do you deliver Copart vehicles to body shops or dealers?

Routinely. Give us the shop or dealer's address and hours, and we'll coordinate delivery during business hours with a contact on site to sign the Bill of Lading.
