Tucson benefits enormously from its position on I-10 between Phoenix and El Paso. Phoenix is only about 115 miles north and carriers running that corridor pass through Tucson constantly. Manheim Tucson is located at 7090 South Craycroft Road and keeps a consistent flow of dealer vehicles moving through the market. IAA also has a Tucson location. That auction activity, combined with the University of Arizona population and the steady stream of retirees moving in and out of Southern Arizona, makes this a more active market than you might expect for a city of this size. It is not Phoenix, but it is not El Paso either.
Pickups in Tucson typically run 3 to 5 days. When carriers are running between Phoenix and the Texas border on I-10, Tucson fits naturally into that route and pickups can come together faster. Summer is actually slower here than you might think. The extreme heat from June through August pushes some carrier traffic to adjust schedules and some snowbirds leave, reducing outbound volume. Winter and spring are strong because of the retiree population and snowbirds heading back north. Get a quote to see what your specific route looks like.
Sacramento is the gateway between Northern California and everywhere else. I-5 runs north to south through the city, connecting it to the Bay Area on the south and to Redding and Oregon on the north. I-80 runs east to west, linking Sacramento to Reno, Salt Lake City, and eventually Chicago. This interstate junction makes Sacramento a natural waypoint for carriers on transcontinental runs. The auction market here is active. ADESA Sacramento operates out of the eastern part of the metro. IAA Sacramento handles insurance volume consistently. Manheim has had operations in Sacramento as well. The state government employment base and steady suburban growth in the region keep the dealer market solid. Carriers moving between LA and the Pacific Northwest always pass through Sacramento on I-5.
Sacramento is an easy delivery city. Carriers coming down I-5 from Oregon or heading up from the Bay Area drop cars here regularly. It sits right on the main spine of West Coast carrier traffic. Suburban deliveries to Roseville, Elk Grove, and Folsom are the simplest. Downtown Sacramento works fine as well. Carriers familiar with the metro have no trouble navigating it.
Shipping a standard sedan from Tucson to Sacramento on open carrier currently estimates between $625 and $925. That is based on the 899-mile distance and current market conditions.
Tucson typically runs at or slightly above the national average. It is not as expensive as El Paso because of the Phoenix proximity, which gives carriers a logical two stop run. The Tucson to Phoenix lane and Tucson to Los Angeles lane via I-10 are both active and reasonably priced. Routes to the Southeast, Midwest, and Northwest cost more because they require carriers to route specifically through Southern Arizona rather than passing through on a natural corridor. Summer is the softest pricing season. Get a quote to see your exact price.
Sacramento runs close to the national average on most routes. The Bay Area to Sacramento lane is extremely active and priced well. Routes to Portland, Seattle, Las Vegas, Phoenix, and the Pacific Northwest are competitive because Sacramento sits naturally on those carrier paths. Long haul routes east on I-80 are solid too, with carriers filling loads heading toward Nevada, Utah, and Colorado. Summer is the busiest season due to relocation traffic. Winter is manageable because Sacramento does not get severe weather. Get a quote to see your exact price.
