Entering the world of truck auctions, it would go without saying that one would be imagining hearing a different language altogether: an ocean of chrome, the hum of motors, things to mull over, flying bids faster than a truck driver hopped up on caffeine. But with Taylor & Martin, there’s some sort of order. A means of avoiding bedlam and letting one look at what’s really happening, mechanistically, behind every auction event.
They don’t just stand on the sideline, nodding like some bobblehead on a dashboard. A Taylor & Martin auction process is an open book-just blank pages waiting for you to jot down all of your findings. Every truck has a story, and Taylor & Martin makes sure it gets told, blemishes and all. You’ll never have to wonder if the history behind a particular truck was written as a horror novella or a lullaby; from the mundane to the juicy tidbits-most notable of which must have been when a runaway rig somehow managed to find its way into a duck pond-reports come with every vehicle.
Taylor & Martin are just two guys who really enjoy pulling back the curtain. You put yourself in Dorothy’s shoes, attempting to get to Oz without the flying monkeys and funhouse mirrors fooling you. They take the scuffle and shuffle out of the auction equation and leave you with just the pure facts. You leave with the hard and fast truths, the gut punches, and sometimes the gems that make bidding less daunting.
Jeff is a serial better, sniffing out these deals like a bloodhound hot on the scent of a truffle. He most nights will tell anybody who will listen about his time with the team: “It’s like having a friend on the inside,” he says, tipping his hat with a knowing smile.
Indeed, the multitudes of bidders find TAYLOR & MARTIN to bridge that gulf of uncertainty, turn the confusing into understandable, and make even the greenest bidder feel like a seasoned veteran.
