Jacksonville is one of the most underrated auto transport markets in the Southeast. It sits at the northern tip of Florida on I-95 which is the primary carrier corridor running up and down the entire East Coast. I-10 starts in Jacksonville and runs all the way west to Los Angeles. That intersection of two major interstates makes Jacksonville a natural carrier hub. The Port of Jacksonville handles vehicle imports and is one of the more significant auto ports on the East Coast. Dealer density across the metro is solid. Manheim Jacksonville keeps carrier traffic flowing through the area regularly.
Pickups from Jacksonville run 1 to 3 days. The I-95 corridor is so active with carrier traffic that there are almost always trucks running north or south through Jacksonville at any given time. If you are shipping up the East Coast to the Carolinas, Virginia, or the Northeast this is one of the better markets to ship from in Florida. Heading west on I-10 toward Houston and LA you tap into a well traveled route. The port activity adds an extra layer of carrier presence to the market year round.
Chicago is the crossroads of American auto transport. Four major interstates converge here. I-90 and I-94 run east to west. I-55 drops south toward St. Louis. I-80 is one of the most heavily used carrier corridors in the country running straight across the middle of the US. Manheim Chicago is one of the largest and most active auto auctions in the Midwest. The dealer market across the metro and suburbs is deep. Carriers are always moving through Chicago because there is always another load waiting for them.
Chicago is a strong delivery market. Carriers on I-80 from the coasts, I-55 from Dallas and the south, and I-90 from the northeast are all natural fits for dropping cars off here. Deliver to the suburbs and it is simple. Deliver to downtown Chicago proper and it is manageable but expect the carrier to request a meetup point rather than pulling a full hauler through the Loop.
Shipping a standard sedan from Jacksonville to Chicago on open carrier currently estimates between $600 and $900. That is based on the 1,054-mile distance and current market conditions.
Jacksonville pricing runs at or slightly below the national average. The I-95 corridor is so competitive that East Coast routes are generally well priced. West bound routes on I-10 are solid. The snowbird effect seen in South Florida is less pronounced in Jacksonville since it is at the northern end of the state, but there is still some seasonal uptick from October through March. Overall pricing is fair and consistent.
Chicago runs right around the national average on most routes. Summer is busiest and prices edge up a little. Winter sees slightly more variability because of the weather factor. Routes to and from the South, Texas, and Florida are very active and competitively priced. Long haul routes to the West Coast are solid because carriers on I-80 fill up in both directions.
