High Volume

Shipping from Baltimore, MD

Baltimore has something most cities do not: a major vehicle import port. The Port of Baltimore processes a huge volume of vehicle cargo every year through Fairfield and Masonville terminals plus the Chesapeake and Atlantic auto terminals. That port activity alone draws carriers to this market. On the road side, I-95 is the backbone, connecting Baltimore directly to Washington DC to the south and Philadelphia and New York to the north. I-83 runs north into Pennsylvania. I-70 connects westward toward Frederick and the Midwest. Manheim Baltimore-Washington is located in Elkridge, just west of the city off I-95. IAA has a Baltimore-area location too. This is a high volume market with real infrastructure behind it.

Pickups in Baltimore run 2 to 4 days in most cases. Suburban areas like Elkridge, Towson, and the counties south and west of the city are easier for carrier access than the tight rowhouse streets in city neighborhoods. Carriers running I-95 between New York and the South pass through Baltimore constantly, so your car fits naturally into existing lanes. The Port activity means there is always a steady flow of carrier traffic. Snowbird season from October through April adds volume on the I-95 Florida corridor.

Major Hub

Arriving in Dallas, TX

Dallas is one of the top five auto transport hubs in the country and it is not close. The DFW metro has Manheim Dallas Fort Worth, ADESA Dallas, and multiple Copart and IAA locations scattered across the region. The dealer density across Dallas, Fort Worth, Plano, Irving, and the surrounding suburbs is enormous. I-20, I-30, I-35, and I-45 all converge in this region giving carriers four major corridors to move cars in every direction. We move cars in and out of Dallas every single day. This market never really slows down.

Delivering to Dallas is just as easy. It sits at the natural midpoint of so many carrier routes. Trucks coming up from Houston on I-45, in from the west on I-20, down from Oklahoma on I-35, and east from the Midlands all pass through the DFW area regularly. Your car does not need any special routing or a premium to get here. Carriers want to come to Dallas.

Pricing on This Route

Shipping a standard sedan from Baltimore to Dallas on open carrier currently estimates between $875 and $1175. That is based on the 1,477-mile distance and current market conditions.

Baltimore runs slightly above the national average. The port activity and dense I-95 corridor keep volume high, but the DC metro market nearby creates competition for carrier slots. Routes to and from New York, Philadelphia, and DC are very competitive. Routes south on I-95 toward the Carolinas and Florida are among the most active carrier lanes in the country and priced well. Heading west or into rural Maryland costs more because you are leaving a dense corridor. Get a quote to see your exact price.

Dallas is consistently at or below the national average for auto transport. The high carrier competition in this market keeps prices down. You are not going to pay a premium just to get a car in or out of DFW. The only time prices shift noticeably is during the summer relocation season when demand spikes. Even then it is modest. Routes to Houston, San Antonio, Austin, and Oklahoma City are especially active and efficient. Get a quote to see your exact price.
