Shipping from Phoenix, AZ

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.

Arriving in Houston, TX

Houston is one of the easiest cities in the country for auto transport. We move cars in and out of here every single day. It sits right on I-10 and I-45 which are two of the busiest carrier corridors in the US. There are hundreds of dealerships across the metro, plus Manheim Houston, ADESA Houston, and multiple Copart and IAA locations. That means carriers are always running through here looking for loads. On top of that, the Port of Houston handles a ton of vehicle imports and exports, so there is never a shortage of trucks in the area.

Delivering to Houston is just as easy as picking up. Carriers are already headed this way constantly on I-10 from both directions and I-45 from Dallas. You will not need to pay extra or wait longer just to get someone to come here. Houston is a destination that carriers actually want to go to because they know there will be another load waiting for them when they drop yours off. That keeps things moving fast and keeps your costs down.

Houston almost always runs at or below the national average. High carrier volume means more competition for your load and that keeps prices down. The huge number of dealerships and auctions in the area means there is constant demand, but there are also plenty of carriers to meet it. The only time you might see prices bump up a little is during hurricane season when some trucks reroute away from the Gulf. But even then we are talking small increases, not anything crazy.
