Phoenix is one of the most important auto transport hubs in the western United States. It sits right on I-10 which is the primary east to west corridor connecting LA to Houston. I-17 runs north to Vegas and I-40 catches the northern route across the country. Manheim Phoenix is a large and very active auction. The dealer market across Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, Chandler, and Gilbert is deep. Phoenix is also one of the top snowbird destinations in the country, which means the transport demand in and out of this market is massive and consistent. Carriers love Phoenix because there is always a load.
Pickups in Phoenix are fast. Most of the time we get a carrier assigned within 1 to 2 days. The I-10 corridor is one of the busiest carrier lanes in America and Phoenix sits right in the middle of it. During snowbird season from October through April the demand from retirees moving cars back and forth to the Midwest and Northeast creates enormous carrier volume. Even in the summer when residents head north to escape the heat the market stays active. Give us a call or get a quote and we can usually lock in a carrier quickly.
Fresno is the largest city in the Central Valley but it is not a major carrier hub. It sits on Highway 99, which is the main inland California artery running from Bakersfield in the south to Sacramento in the north. I-5 runs parallel about 45 minutes to the west but bypasses Fresno entirely. That is the honest reality of this market. Most carriers running California prefer I-5 because it is faster, which means Fresno does not see the same constant carrier activity as cities directly on I-5. That said, the market is not dead. Manheim Fresno is an active auction location and Copart Fresno handles consistent salvage volume. The agriculture industry and Central Valley economy drive a real dealer market here. You will find carriers, but it takes a bit more effort than LA or Sacramento.
Deliveries to Fresno follow the same logic. Carriers make the Highway 99 run when they have enough loads to justify it. If you are receiving a car in Fresno, the delivery is usually straightforward once a carrier is dispatched. Street access is good throughout the city and there are no unusual constraints. Expect your carrier to communicate clearly about timing once they are loaded and on the road.
Shipping a standard sedan from Phoenix to Fresno on open carrier currently estimates between $350 and $650. That is based on the 600-mile distance and current market conditions.
Phoenix runs at or below the national average for auto transport on most routes. The snowbird lanes to and from the Midwest and Great Lakes region see the most pricing fluctuation, with October through November and March through April being peak demand periods. Prices on those lanes can run 10 to 20 percent above the off season equivalent. The I-10 corridor to LA and Houston is extremely competitive year round. Get a quote to see where your route falls.
Fresno typically runs 5 to 15 percent above the national average on most routes due to the detour factor. Carriers need a good reason to come off the I-5 corridor or divert from their primary runs. Routes between Fresno and Los Angeles or Fresno and the Bay Area are the most competitive because those are the most commonly requested lanes. Long haul routes to the Midwest or East Coast carry a slightly higher premium because the carrier has to position to an interstate first. Pricing is very fair from November through February when demand is lower. Get a quote to see your exact price.
