Units sitting where they are not earning
A vehicle staged at the wrong site is not in service, and the site that needs it is working short until it arrives.
Fleet management
Fleet repositioning in full truckloads
Fleet moves are rarely one car. They are a block of units going from one of your sites to another, on a date somebody downstream is already planning around.
Clutch Auto Transport repositions corporate, service, sales, and commercial fleet vehicles between sites across the 48 continental states, including full truckload moves and non-stop point-to-point hauls. Fleet accounts get lane-based pricing on recurring site pairs, portal ordering with cost-center and branch permissions, and reporting suited to internal chargeback.
The problem
Where fleet repositioning goes wrong
Fleet volume is predictable. What breaks is timing, capacity, and the accounting behind it.
Volume that does not price like volume
Moving twenty units should not cost twenty times one unit. If a provider is quoting them individually, you are paying for empty deck space.
Multi-stop routes that widen the window
A mixed load with eight other customers' stops on it arrives when the route allows. A full load running non-stop does not have that problem.
Costs you cannot allocate
Repositioning spend that cannot be split cleanly by site or cost center becomes a lump nobody owns at budget time.
How we help
Full truckloads and non-stop hauls
Fleet volume is the closest thing in this industry to a clean load. When the units are going from one of your sites to another, they fill a trailer, and a full trailer running point to point is the most efficient and most reliable thing a carrier can do.
- Full truckload pricing. Enough units on one lane fills a hauler, and a full load prices materially better per unit than the same vehicles moved individually.
- Non-stop hauls. A dedicated full load runs origin to destination without the multi-stop route a mixed load has to follow. Fewer stops means fewer variables and a tighter delivery window.
- Lane pricing on your site pairs. The routes between your locations get priced once, not re-quoted every time.
- Cost-center visibility. Permissions and reporting structured so each site or department sees and is charged for its own moves.
- Scheduled repositioning. Seasonal or cyclical moves planned ahead rather than handled as emergencies.
- No driver assignment. The vehicle moves without anyone leaving their actual job.
Process
How a fleet move runs
Send the site pair and the count
Origin site, destination site, how many units, and the date the receiving site needs them. Counts matter, because they decide whether this is a full load.
We price the lane
Recurring site pairs get priced once. Full truckload rates apply where the unit count fills a hauler.
Dispatch as a block
A full load runs origin to destination without the multi-stop route a mixed load follows, which is what tightens the delivery window.
Track and allocate
Status per unit in the portal, and reporting split by site or cost center for internal chargeback.
Questions
Frequently asked
Can you move multiple vehicles at once?
Yes, and it is the normal case for fleet work. A full or near-full load on a single lane prices materially better per unit than the same vehicles moved individually, so batch repositioning wherever your schedule allows.
How many vehicles make a full truckload?
A standard open car hauler carries up to nine or ten vehicles depending on their size and weight. Larger units such as service bodies and upfitted vans take more deck space, so the count that fills a trailer drops accordingly. Give us the unit mix and we will tell you where the full-load break falls on your lane.
What is a non-stop haul?
A dedicated full load that runs from your origin site to your destination site without picking up or dropping off other customers' vehicles along the way. Fewer stops means fewer variables, which is why a full load holds a tighter delivery window than a mixed load.
Can we set up recurring or scheduled moves?
Yes. Predictable, cyclical repositioning is easier to price and cover than emergency moves. Share the schedule and we plan against it.
How do we allocate cost back to the requesting site?
Portal permissions and reporting can be structured by branch or cost center, so each site's activity and spend is separable for internal chargeback.
What about vehicles that are out of service?
Non-running units ship on winch-equipped carriers at a higher rate. Fleet accounts often have these, so flag run status at order entry.
