Shipping from Omaha, NE

Omaha is a more active auto transport market than most people expect, and the reason is simple. I-80 runs straight through the city and I-80 is one of the most heavily used carrier corridors in the entire country. Trucks running coast to coast from New York to San Francisco pass through Omaha constantly. That creates a natural flow of carrier traffic that benefits shippers here. Manheim Omaha is located at 9201 South 144th Street with a real volume of dealer vehicles moving through regularly. IAA also has an Omaha location. The Council Bluffs metro on the Iowa side adds more dealer and auction activity to the overall market.

Pickups in Omaha typically run 2 to 4 days. The I-80 corridor effect is real. Carriers running cross country are always looking for loads in Omaha because it sits at the geographic midpoint of the most traveled transcontinental carrier route in the country. Winter is the one honest challenge. Nebraska winters can be severe with blizzards and whiteout conditions on I-80 that cause carriers to hold position or reroute. January and February are the months to add a buffer. Spring and fall are the most efficient shipping seasons. Summer is busy and generally fast.

Major Hub

Arriving in Phoenix, AZ

Phoenix is one of the most important auto transport hubs in the western United States. It sits right on I-10 which is the primary east to west corridor connecting LA to Houston. I-17 runs north to Vegas and I-40 catches the northern route across the country. Manheim Phoenix is a large and very active auction. The dealer market across Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, Chandler, and Gilbert is deep. Phoenix is also one of the top snowbird destinations in the country, which means the transport demand in and out of this market is massive and consistent. Carriers love Phoenix because there is always a load.

Delivering to Phoenix is just as easy. Carriers running I-10 from LA are headed this direction constantly. Trucks coming up from Tucson and Nogales, or across I-40 from Albuquerque and beyond, all funnel through the Phoenix metro. It is a natural delivery point on most major western routes. Expect smooth delivery with minimal wait time.
