What is exporter vehicle transport and who is it for?
Exporter vehicle transport is shipping for an exporter: a business that buys vehicles in the United States to sell outside it.
An exporter often buys from several places at once: individual sellers, dealers and auctions. We arrange pickup of those vehicles and deliver them to the port and/or to a third-party logistics (3PL) shipping company's yard. We handle the paperwork an exporter needs for export. Our own transport is within the continental United States.

When exporter vehicle transport is NOT the right choice
If you buy cars for dealers or trade them on behalf of several dealers, use wholesale vehicle transport instead.
A wholesaler moves inventory for different dealers, while an exporter buys vehicles to sell outside the United States. A dealer moving its own stock belongs on the dealer page.
