About Roadrunner Vehicle Inspectors RVI

We are the fastest growing independent vehicle inspection company in the country. We've had relationships for over 15 years servicing auto auctions and dealerships across North America. Some of our clients include Cox Automotive or Manheim Auctions, KAR Global or ADESA auctions, America's Xlerate Auto Auctions, Auto-Vin, Backlot Cars, Carvana, General Motors Financial, Ally Bank, Smart Auction, Hertz and Enterprise Rental Car and many others. Our Corporate office is based out of Hendersonville, TN.

Our Inspectors, sometimes known as CR Writers are independent 1099 contractors paid by the number of vehicles they inspect each day. We are known for being high volume vehicle inspectors. The vehicles we inspect are all located on one lot for the most part at each assignment and we do not service the general public or vehicle inspections which take place at homes. This makes for a very efficient day and productive day for earnings.

Our inspectors' average wages range from $72,000 -$125,000 once training and assessments are completed which is the equivalent of an hourly average of about $35-$60 or $1400-$2400 per week if production goals are met. Your earnings are based on how efficient you are and how proficient you are with a handheld device to complete the inspection on.

Scope of Work
  • Perform digital inspection (aka electronic condition report or CR) for each vehicle at assigned facilities - car auctions or occasional retail sites.
  • Document the vehicle condition of the interior, exterior, trunk area, engine compartment and undercarriage of the vehicle, etc. using drop down menus and typing text.
  • Correctly identify and document the vehicle details, including trim series, options, color, mileage, etc. using drop down menus or typing text.
  • Take overall photos of the interior/exterior of the vehicle, and photos of damages, undercarriage, odometer and keys with electronic device provided.
