Iron Planet pick up timeline

[TB58]

So I am planning on bidding on a 5ton in a few days but I want to be sure on the post auction timeline. Obviously they want their money right away. The question I have is when can I pick up the truck?
the EUC and SF97 process takes months, I am assuming the vehicle cannot legally be driven on the road until it is complete. Am I required to remove the vehicle within 8 days of the auction or within 8 days of the paperwork being complete? this drastically changes how I will be going about this.

There isn't an euc on m939 trucks. You have 8 days to remove it. If you are not comfortable driving it out you can have it hauled. It takes a few weeks to get the sf97. There are ways around the paperwork depending on age.

ok so the back log is pretty much just on trailers? thanks for the info.

EUC and SF97 are separate.

There should be no EUC on the M939 trucks.

You will need the SF97 to apply for a title and plates.

You should be ok driving it off post to your storage/residence and then leaving it there until the paperwork comes through.

Thank both of you for the clarification. I was confused but now I think I have it figured out.

The site manager will usually work with you on the pickup allowing extra time.
Every one so far has granted extra time if I needed it.


With the exception of one 5 ton, I've recovered everything myself.

It will state on the auction lot page if an EUC is needed or not. It is rare for a trailer or a 5 ton to need one but it has happened I had to do one for a 3/4T trailer frame and for a shop van.
