Auctions provide the fastest and most effective method of equipment selling and trucking acquisitions. A Taylor & Martin auction is an Absolute Public Auction, which means no buy backs, no bid-ins, no minimums and no reserves. By doing it this way for over 40 years, Taylor & Martin has promoted strong customer loyalty with buyers coming back for all their trucking acquisitions. Buyers know that all their trucking acquisitions are sold at fair market value. Since 1999, Taylor and Martin auctions have maintained a sale price of 105% of fair market value. Because every piece goes to a new home on the day of the auction, sellers know they don't have to deal with unsold equipment. Many people attend Taylor & Martin auctions. At each auction, buyers acquiring their trucking acquisitions represent 30 states and 3 countries.
Taylor & Martin offers many services to make your trucking acquisitions run smoothly. We have nationwide auction sites with equipment storage facilities for both buyers and sellers. So if you can't pick up your trucking acquisitions on the day of the auction, we can store them for you until convenient to pick up. We can do complete equipment appraisal, clean-up, preparation, and transportation. Our trucking consultants can arrange, lot, and catalog equipment while verifying titles and serial numbers. If available we provide maintenance histories so you can know the condition of your trucking acquisitions. Services also include transferring titles, proper documentation, collection of funds, and disbursement of proceeds. Our help doesn't stop there. We will provide you with a travel agent to assist with all travel and lodging requirements and even arrange for transportation to and from the auction. It is our goal to provide all the assistance you need for your trucking acquisitions. Upon request we will provide full-time translators for non-English speakers.
