Tulsa is a regional market in the middle of Oklahoma. It is not a hard city to reach but it is also not on the main carrier corridors that connect the coasts. I-44 is the primary highway running northeast toward Missouri and southwest toward Oklahoma City. I-244 is the inner loop that serves the metro. The good news is Tulsa has real auction infrastructure. Manheim Tulsa operates out of nearby Sapulpa, ADESA Tulsa is active in the market, and IAA has a Tulsa location. Copart also operates here. That auction presence means carriers have business reasons to come to Tulsa. The metro also has a solid franchise dealer market along the Broken Arrow Expressway and S Memorial corridor, adding consistent daily inventory movement on top of the auction cycle. But it is still a regional city and not a carrier magnet the way Dallas or Kansas City are.
Most pickups in Tulsa take 3 to 5 days. Carriers routing between Dallas and Kansas City on I-44 will often service Tulsa as a stop, which keeps the market from being overly difficult. The summer months see the most carrier activity when the snowbird traffic on southern corridors is light and carriers are looking for loads anywhere in the region. Winter is slower. If your car is near I-44 or I-244 access, pickup is easier. Be willing to give a couple extra days of flexibility and we will get it done. Get a quote to see what your specific route looks like.
San Diego is a strong and active auto transport market with some unique advantages. I-5 runs straight through the city connecting it to Los Angeles 120 miles north and to the Mexican border at San Ysidro. I-15 heads inland and north toward Riverside and Las Vegas. Carriers running the LA to San Diego corridor are constant because there is always demand in both directions. Auction activity is real here. Manheim San Diego operates out of Oceanside at the north end of the county. ADESA San Diego is located near the border in Otay Ranch. Copart and IAA both have San Diego locations as well. Add in the military presence from Camp Pendleton, MCAS Miramar, and NAS Coronado and you have a steady drumbeat of military relocation shipments year round. This is a solid, dependable market.
Deliveries to San Diego are generally smooth. Carriers on I-5 from the north have a natural endpoint here, and many load up in LA to fill the last slots with San Diego cars. Neighborhoods with wide streets and good access are easiest. If you are in downtown or near the Gaslamp Quarter, carriers may ask to deliver nearby rather than navigate the parking situation. Hillcrest and North Park are manageable. The North County cities like Escondido, Vista, and Oceanside are easy delivers and often match up with carrier routes heading back north.
Shipping a standard sedan from Tulsa to San Diego on open carrier currently estimates between $900 and $1200. That is based on the 1,497-mile distance and current market conditions.
Tulsa runs 10 to 15 percent above the national average on most routes. It is not an extreme premium but you are paying a small regional market bump. Routes between Tulsa and Dallas or Tulsa and Kansas City are the most competitive because carriers travel that corridor regularly. Routes to the coasts or the Pacific Northwest cost more because the carrier needs to commit a significant amount of time to this region. Get a quote to see your exact price.
San Diego runs close to the national average on most routes. The LA to San Diego lane is one of the most competitive short hauls in the country because carriers are constantly running it. Longer routes like San Diego to Phoenix, Las Vegas, or the Pacific Northwest are very active and priced well. Routes to the Midwest or East Coast price similarly to LA because carriers use I-5 or I-40 to get there and San Diego is a natural first or last stop. Military PCS season in the spring and summer can push prices up slightly as demand spikes. Get a quote to see your exact price.
