BIRMINGHAM, Mich., Dec. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — RPM Freight Systems, LLC (“RPM”), an international non-asset-based logistics and supply chain solutions company, is excited to announce its acquisition of Dealers Choice Auto Transport (“Dealers Choice”). This strategic move is designed to bridge the gap between large-scale logistics and specialized dealership service, ensuring that customers on both sides of the transaction experience faster, more transparent, and high-quality vehicle transport.
This strategic acquisition combines two industry leaders, uniting RPM’s expansive logistics network and technology platform with the deep expertise and high-touch customer service Dealers Choice has cultivated over more than 20 years. For RPM’s customers, this partnership deepens the company’s reach into the dealer-to-dealer, auction, and personal sectors, providing the specialized, reliable “white glove” care required for high-line dealerships, exotics, classic cars, and personally owned vehicle moves.
For over two decades, Dealers Choice has built a reputation for reliability and efficiency in moving specialized and luxury vehicles for dealership groups and auto auctions across North America. The integration of its specialized carrier network with RPM’s logistics expertise will now deliver greater operational efficiency and end-to-end visibility to these customers.
Dealers Choice Auto Transport will continue to operate under its established brand name, maintaining its strong identity and customer-first culture. Critically for customers, all day-to-day operations, service commitments, and contacts will remain the same. Customers of both companies will now benefit from seamless access to an expanded portfolio of services, including more nationwide capacity and enhanced technology, through a single, trusted partner.
Andrew Frank, Partner at Trive Capital, commented, “The acquisition of Dealers Choice Auto Transport further solidifies RPM’s position as a comprehensive, full-service logistics platform for the entire vehicle lifecycle. Trive is excited to continue supporting RPM as they continue to accelerate their leadership in the vehicle logistics industry.”
“We are thrilled to have the support of Trive Capital and BlueJay Capital in welcoming Dealers Choice Auto Transport to the RPM team,” said John Perkovioch, President of RPM North America. “We believe 2026 is going to be our biggest year yet. This acquisition opens us up to yet another industry vertical and continues to propel our growth with our current dealership and auction partners. This combination will allow us to provide enhanced reliability and capacity during peak seasons, snowbird periods, and high-demand auction cycles. We are united in our commitment to solving the most complex logistics challenges.”
“Joining RPM is a fantastic opportunity for our team and our customers after more than 20 years of service,” said Steven Yariv, President & CEO of Dealers Choice Auto Transport. “Our deep roots in the exotic luxury dealership community and our focus on reliable, on-time delivery align perfectly with RPM’s values. Together, we will be able to offer an even more powerful set of tools and a broader network, all while maintaining the personal care and reliability our customers have come to expect from us.”
