Shipping from Jacksonville, FL

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.

Regional Market

Arriving in Corpus Christi, TX

Corpus Christi is a regional market on the South Texas coast and I want to be honest with you about what that means for auto transport. I-37 is the main highway connecting Corpus Christi north to San Antonio, which is the nearest major hub. That is about a 2.5 hour drive with no major cities in between. There is a Manheim location in Corpus Christi and IAA has a facility on Agnes Street, but the auction density is much lower than San Antonio or Houston. America's Auto Auction also services this market. The port is active but not primarily a vehicle import hub. The dealer market in Corpus Christi is modest but active, with several franchise dealerships along South Padre Island Drive that move regular inventory. Carriers can and do reach Corpus Christi but they are making a dedicated run south, not passing through on the way somewhere else.

Delivery to Corpus Christi works the same way. Carriers leaving San Antonio with a load heading south to the coast will service this market. Most residential areas and neighborhoods near I-37 and the main commercial corridors are accessible. If you are near the marina or Padre Island, let us know your exact address because some areas near the water can be tight for large haulers and we may want to arrange a meetup nearby.

Pricing on This Route

Shipping a standard sedan from Jacksonville to Corpus Christi on open carrier currently estimates between $675 and $975. That is based on the 1,178-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.

Corpus Christi runs 15 to 25 percent above the national average on most routes. The math is simple. A carrier runs 2.5 hours south from San Antonio with limited guarantee of a load heading back out. They need to get paid for that risk. Routes between Corpus Christi and San Antonio or Houston are the most competitive because carriers service those cities regularly. Routes to the coasts or Midwest carry a bigger premium. Get a quote to see your exact price.
