New Orleans is a solid market with some real geography advantages and one significant seasonal factor. I-10 is the main corridor running east to west and it is one of the most important freight highways in the southern US. It connects New Orleans to Baton Rouge, Houston to the west, and Mobile and Jacksonville to the east. I-55 drops north toward Jackson, Mississippi and connects to Memphis and the Midwest. Manheim New Orleans operates out of Slidell, just across Lake Pontchartrain from the city. Copart and IAA both have New Orleans area locations. The dealer market across the metro is active. Port activity adds to carrier awareness of this market. What slows things down is not carrier availability, it is the weather.
Standard pickups run 2 to 4 days in most seasons. The one honest caveat here is hurricane season, which runs June through November. If a named storm is approaching the Gulf, carriers get out of the area fast and incoming trucks stop moving toward the coast. We have seen this delay pickups by a week or more during active storm periods. If you are shipping during hurricane season, give yourself extra buffer time and let us know if your situation is urgent. Outside of storm season this is a reliable market.

Las Vegas is a surprisingly active auto transport market for a city its size. It sits at the intersection of I-15 which runs from LA to Salt Lake City and beyond, and US-95 which connects it to Phoenix and Reno. The Las Vegas metro has a large dealer market and significant auction activity. Copart Las Vegas is active. The transient nature of the Las Vegas population, with lots of people moving in and out regularly, keeps shipping demand elevated. And because I-15 between LA and Las Vegas is one of the most traveled routes in the West, carriers run this lane constantly.
Delivering to Las Vegas is smooth. Carriers coming east from LA on I-15 make this a natural first stop. From Phoenix on US-95 it is a straightforward route. Salt Lake City carriers run south to Las Vegas regularly. It is an easy delivery target because most carriers passing through have reasons to stop here.
Shipping a standard sedan from New Orleans to Las Vegas on open carrier currently estimates between $1000 and $1300. That is based on the 1,841-mile distance and current market conditions.
New Orleans runs close to the national average on most routes. The I-10 corridor to Houston and the I-55 corridor north are both well-traveled and priced competitively. Where prices creep up is on routes to less-serviced destinations that require the carrier to go off the main corridors. Hurricane season can also affect pricing if demand spikes suddenly before a storm. Fall and winter, outside of storm season, tend to be the most stable. Get a quote to see your exact price.
Las Vegas runs close to or slightly below the national average on most routes. The LA to Las Vegas lane is so competitive that prices are often very favorable. Routes to the Pacific Northwest, Texas, and the Southeast will run at or near market average. Because carriers like running this market, you rarely pay a premium just for being in Las Vegas.
