Yes. LightSpeedBid allows you to track your pickup status through automated updates, SMS notifications, buyer messages, and direct towing partner communication. While the platform is not a rideshare-style GPS tracker, it provides real-time transparency so you always know where your pickup stands.
Tracking includes:
- Confirmation the pickup was assigned
- Tow company name and phone number
- Scheduled time window
- Driver route notifications
- Arrival updates
- Delay alerts
- Completion confirmation
After accepting an offer, you receive a message showing:
- The assigned towing partner
- The scheduled pickup time
- A direct contact number
- Optional instructions or access requirements
Tow companies will usually text or call when they are:
- On the way
- Delayed due to traffic or weather
- Arriving at your property
- Finished loading the vehicle
You can also proactively contact the towing partner to request:
- ETA
- Early arrival
- Delay information
- Special access instructions
Pickup completion is tracked automatically. Once the vehicle is removed, you receive confirmation so you know the job is complete and the sale is final.
LightSpeedBid gives sellers far more transparency than junkyards or private buyers, ensuring you always know the status of your tow, the ETA, and the completion timestamp.
