Shipping from Kansas City, MO

Kansas City sits at a genuine crossroads. Four interstates serve the metro. I-70 runs east to west, connecting St. Louis to Denver. I-35 runs north to south, connecting Minneapolis and Kansas City and continuing down to Oklahoma City and Dallas. I-29 heads northwest toward Omaha and Sioux City. I-49 runs south toward Arkansas and Louisiana. That is a lot of carrier corridors passing through one city. Manheim Kansas City is located on North Skiles Avenue and is an active regional auction. ADESA Kansas City is on Adesa Drive and adds more wholesale volume. The dealer market across Kansas City proper and the Kansas suburbs is solid. Carriers running the I-70 corridor from coast to coast pass through here regularly. This market sees good consistent traffic in most directions.

Pickups in Kansas City run 2 to 3 days on average. The metro spreads across both Missouri and Kansas, and both sides are accessible for carriers. The north side near I-29 and the east side near I-70 see the most truck activity. Suburban areas in Overland Park, Lenexa, and Olathe on the Kansas side are easy for hauler access. Downtown Kansas City is manageable. Winter on the plains can occasionally add a day when storms move through on I-70, but this is not a regular issue.

Arriving in Philadelphia, PA

Philadelphia is a major auto transport market with access to some of the busiest carrier corridors in the Northeast. I-95 runs right through the city connecting it to New York to the north and Baltimore, Washington DC, and the South to the south. I-76 connects west toward Pittsburgh and eventually the Midwest. The Philadelphia metro has solid dealer density and Manheim Philadelphia is one of the largest auto auctions in the Northeast, drawing significant carrier traffic to the region. Port of Philadelphia handles some vehicle movement as well. This is a well serviced market.

Delivering to Philadelphia is active. Carriers on I-95 running between New York and DC pass through regularly and Philadelphia is a natural waypoint. Manheim Philadelphia is a consistent draw for carrier traffic in the region. Deliveries from the South and Midwest come through I-76 and I-95 and are well established. The same suburban preference applies on delivery, so plan for a meetup near an accessible location if you are in the city center.
