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.
Austin has become one of the fastest growing auto transport markets in the country over the last several years and the volume has followed. The tech industry boom brought tens of thousands of relocations from California, the Northeast, and the Pacific Northwest, and that created enormous shipping demand in both directions. I-35 is the main north to south corridor connecting Austin to Dallas and San Antonio. I-10 is accessible nearby heading east to Houston and west to the Hill Country. Dealer density has grown significantly and auction activity is solid. This market is active and getting more active every year.
Delivering to Austin is strong. The inbound relocation traffic means carriers frequently need to fill their trucks heading to Austin from both coasts. From California, the Southwest, and the Northeast carriers run to Austin regularly. It is a desirable delivery market because carriers know they can find a return load. Expect 2 to 4 days on most routes.
Shipping a standard sedan from Jacksonville to Austin on open carrier currently estimates between $675 and $975. That is based on the 1,170-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.
Austin pricing runs close to the national average with a few notable corridors. The Austin to California route is competitive and often well priced. The Austin to Dallas and Austin to Houston lanes are very affordable because of the sheer volume. Long haul routes to the Northeast run at market rate. The relocation boom has actually kept prices reasonable because it brought more carrier supply to match the demand.
