List Your Truck
Upload required photos (13 categories), enter detailed specs, mileage, VIN, and condition notes. Our team reviews every listing before it goes live.
Pay the Listing Fee
Standard listings are $99. Featured listings ($299) get priority placement and highlighted badges. One-time fee per listing.
Auction Goes Live
Your truck is listed for 7 days with real-time bidding. Buyers ask questions in the comments, and you can set an optional reserve price.
Truck Sells
When the auction ends and the reserve is met (or there is no reserve), the highest bidder wins. We facilitate the transaction between buyer and seller.
Get Paid via Stripe
Payment is processed securely through Stripe. Funds are transferred to your connected Stripe account after the buyer completes payment.
Browse Auctions
Search and filter by make, model, year, mileage, and location. Every listing includes detailed photos, specs, and condition reports.
Place Bids in Real Time
Bid on trucks you want. See all bids as they happen. Use auto-bid to set a maximum and let the system bid for you up to your limit.
Win the Auction
When the 7-day auction ends, the highest bidder wins (if the reserve is met). Anti-sniping protection extends the clock if a bid comes in during the last 2 minutes.
Pay for the Truck
Complete payment through your dashboard. The sale price plus a 5% buyer's premium (capped at $5,000) is collected via Stripe.
Coordinate Pickup or Shipping
Work directly with the seller to arrange pickup or hire a transport company. The listing shows the truck's location to help you plan.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about buying and selling on BigRigBids.
How much does it cost to list a truck?
Standard listings are $99 and featured listings are $299. This is a one-time fee per listing. There are no additional seller fees if your truck sells.
What is the buyer's premium?
Buyers pay a 5% premium on top of the winning bid, capped at $5,000. For example, if you win a truck for $50,000, the premium is $2,500 for a total of $52,500.
How long do auctions last?
All auctions run for 7 days. If a bid is placed in the final 2 minutes, the auction is automatically extended by 2 minutes to prevent sniping.
What is a reserve price?
Sellers can set a hidden minimum price (reserve). If bidding doesn't reach the reserve, the truck is not sold. Reserve status is shown on the listing (met or not met) but the actual amount is not disclosed.
Can I get the truck inspected before buying?
Yes. BigRigBids offers independent inspection services starting at $249. A certified inspector will examine the truck and provide a detailed report before you bid.
How do payments work?
All payments are handled securely through Stripe. Buyers pay via credit card or ACH transfer. Sellers receive funds to their connected Stripe account after the buyer's payment clears.
What happens if the buyer doesn't pay?
Buyers have 48 hours to complete payment after winning. If they fail to pay, the sale is voided and the seller can relist for free. Non-paying buyers may be suspended from the platform.
Is there a warranty or guarantee?
BigRigBids is an auction marketplace — trucks are sold as-is. We strongly recommend requesting an inspection before bidding. Every listing includes detailed photos and condition disclosures.
