Major Hub

Shipping from Atlanta, GA

Atlanta is the auto transport hub of the Southeast and it is not even close. Manheim Atlanta is one of the largest auto auctions in the entire country, processing tens of thousands of vehicles a month. ADESA Atlanta, Copart, and IAA locations add even more auction volume to the market. I-75 and I-85 cross through Atlanta and together they connect Florida to Michigan and the Northeast to the Southwest. I-20 runs east to west connecting Alabama and the Gulf Coast to South Carolina and the ports. Carriers are always in Atlanta because there is always another load waiting.

Pickups in Atlanta typically happen within 1 to 2 days. This is one of the fastest markets we work in. The sheer volume of auction activity alone means carriers are staging in and around Atlanta constantly. If your car is in the suburbs, Marietta, Roswell, Alpharetta, or the south side it is very smooth. Downtown Atlanta itself is manageable but as with most dense city centers carriers sometimes prefer a nearby meetup spot. The speed of this market is hard to beat.

High Volume

Arriving in Austin, TX

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.
