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.

Nashville is a really solid city for auto transport. We move cars through here pretty regularly and it is one of the easier mid-size markets in the country. Three major interstates cross through Nashville. I-40 runs east to west, I-65 runs north to south, and I-24 cuts southeast toward Atlanta. That puts Nashville right in the middle of a bunch of busy carrier routes. Manheim Nashville is active and draws carriers through on a regular basis. There are plenty of dealerships in the metro too, so there is good truck traffic year round.
Getting a car delivered to Nashville is pretty smooth. Carriers like delivering here because they know they can pick up another load on the way out. The Manheim auction alone keeps a steady flow of trucks coming in and out of the area. If you are shipping from a major city like Atlanta, Chicago, or Dallas, your car is probably riding with a carrier who was already heading this direction. That makes it easy and keeps the price fair.
Shipping a standard sedan from New Orleans to Nashville on open carrier currently estimates between $325 and $625. That is based on the 573-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.
Nashville usually runs right around the national average. Sometimes a little below it. You are not going to see the rock bottom prices that come out of mega hubs like Houston or LA, but you are also not paying any kind of premium. The I-65 corridor to Florida sees some seasonal swings during snowbird season from October to March, so if you are shipping between Nashville and South Florida keep that in mind. Prices on that lane can bump up 10 to 15 percent during peak months. For most other routes it stays pretty steady. Get a quote to see your exact price.
