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.
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.
Shipping a standard sedan from Tucson to Houston on open carrier currently estimates between $650 and $950. That is based on the 1,146-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.
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.
