Peter Janczewski, Senior Vice President of Sales at Draiver, joins CBT News at the 2026 NADA Show to outline how modern logistics solutions help dealers accelerate inventory movement, reduce delays, and stay competitive in a tightening used-vehicle market.
Key Takeaways:
- Dealers are treating logistics speed as a direct contributor to profit. Every day a vehicle sits in transit or waits for pickup adds holding cost and delays retail readiness. Faster movement from auction or trade acquisition to the lot shortens time to sale, helping dealers protect margin as used inventory competition intensifies.
- Draiver’s nationwide network of more than 140,000 vetted drivers allows dealerships to move vehicles within hours rather than days. Combined with tracking tools and VIN-level trip visibility, dealers gain better control over where vehicles are, when they arrive, and who is responsible at each step, reducing uncertainty and operational friction.
- Technology is also helping dealers prevent transport-related fraud and improve efficiency, even when stores already employ in-house drivers. Real-time tracking, verified driver credentials, and route optimization tools help stores move more vehicles per day while reducing risks tied to uninsured carriers or unauthorized pickups.
