- From the home page, locate the tab at the top of the page called "Sell Your Salvage" and click the link.
- This will take you to the “Salvage Submission” sign in page. If you are new to selling salvage at Big Truck Salvage, click the “Create a Seller's Account” link to create your account. Once your account has been created, you will be returned to the sign in page. On the sign in page, you will enter your User ID (your e-mail can also be used) and your password to start the submission process.
- You will be taken to the “Type Of Submission” page. From this page you will select the type of salvage and auction type for your submission.
- The next page will be the “Submission Information” page. You will notice that your name, company name and e-mail address are already listed for you. Make sure the contact information is correct. If it is not, please sign into the “Your Account” section and update your contact information after your submission.
- Fill out the “Submission Information” page. You will select the amount of time you want your salvage to be listed and the closing date. In addition, you will enter tracking information about your salvage so that we can use your information when reporting the results of your listing.
- For adjustors and examiners only: You will be given the ability to either bill the submission to your account or to an insurance company. If you select an insurance company’s account to bill the submission, you will be taken to a page where you will select an examiner. Examiners submitting salvage will select their own name from this list. If the examiner doesn’t appear in the list, select the “Examiner Is Not In This List” from the drop down box. You will be taken to a page to fill out the new examiners contact information.
- Next, you will be taken to the “Salvage Survey” page. Here you will fill out information regarding your salvage. Please remember the salvage buyers need very clear and descriptive information about the condition of the salvage. They will use your description and pictures to make their bid. Be sure to include a complete list of all the specifications, a complete description of the damage, and any additional features your salvage may possess. Remember, too much information is always better than not enough!
- The next section is the “Picture Submission” page. You have four options for sending us the images of your salvage. Read the descriptions of the four options below.
- Option 1 (uploading your images or documents to us): This option is used for submitting your pictures to us over the Internet. You must have digital images, Adobe PDF files, or Microsoft Word documents with pictures containing your salvage on your hard drive or a floppy disk to be able to submit them to us using this option.
