For a Ford dealership, inventory is everything. Whether it’s a dealer trade for a specific F-150 trim, bringing in pre-owned vehicles from auction, or delivering a Mach-E to a customer’s driveway, the speed of your logistics directly impacts your profitability.
Yet many dealerships still manage these critical moves with fragmented processes: sticky notes, phone tag with multiple brokers, and disjointed paper invoices.
There is a better way. Through our partnership with The Shop, Ford Direct dealerships are streamlining their operations by moving to a centralized transport platform. Here is how RunBuggy helps Ford and Lincoln dealers simplify auto transport and move metal faster.
The Power of Centralization
RunBuggy isn’t just another vendor; we are a fully integrated logistics solution. By centralizing your transport needs into one dashboard, you eliminate the “black box” of traditional auto shipping.
Instead of juggling multiple transporter contacts and wondering where your cars are, RunBuggy provides a single pane of glass for your entire store—sales, service, and the business office.
Why Ford Direct Dealers Are Making the Switch
1. Seamless Integration with The Shop
RunBuggy is a preferred partner available directly through The Shop. This means verified Ford and Lincoln dealers can access our platform with streamlined enrollment and exclusive benefits. You can manage every move type—dealer trades, auction purchases, and home deliveries—from one screen.
2. Instant, Guaranteed Pricing
Uncertainty kills deals. With RunBuggy, you never have to guess what a move will cost. We provide upfront, instant, and guaranteed pricing for every VIN.
- No Hidden Fees: The price you see is the price you pay. No fuel surcharges or surprise “admin fees” added later.
- Protect Your Gross: Know your exact landed cost before you even finalize a dealer trade or auction buy.
3. Total Visibility and Digital Documentation
In 2026, visibility is non-negotiable. You need to know the status of your inventory without picking up the phone.
- Automated Status Updates: RunBuggy offers end-to-end visibility through automated status updates. You receive notifications about key milestones of every move, so you always know where your metal is moving.

4. A Nationwide Network on Demand
Need to move a car from a partner store three states away? RunBuggy instantly connects you to a network of over 17,000 verified drivers.
- Vetted Carriers: Every hauler in our network is checked for valid insurance and operating authority, protecting your inventory from risk.
- Scalability: Whether you need to move one unit or fifty, our marketplace adjusts to your volume instantly.
The “Velocity” Impact
Centralizing your logistics isn’t just about convenience; it’s about velocity.
Every day a vehicle sits waiting for a truck is a day it isn’t on your lot generating revenue. By automating the dispatch process and reducing administrative friction, RunBuggy helps you get cars “Front Line Ready” faster.
Stop managing logistics with spreadsheets and hope. Start managing them with data and speed, let RunBuggy be your personal digital catalyst.
