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.
Aurora is the eastern suburbs of Denver and carriers treat it as part of the Denver metro. Manheim Denver is actually located in Aurora at 17500 East 32nd Avenue, which means this is where the carrier and dealer activity is concentrated for the whole region. That is a significant advantage. I-70 runs east through Aurora heading toward Kansas City and connects west into Denver toward the mountains. I-225 cuts through Aurora connecting I-70 to I-25 in the southern metro. The dealer market across Aurora, Centennial, Parker, and the southeast Denver suburbs is active and growing.
Delivering to Aurora is smooth. Carriers on I-70 coming from the east, and trucks dropping down from I-25 from the north and south, all pass through or near Aurora naturally. The eastern and southern parts of Aurora are flat and easy for car haulers to navigate. Some of the hillier or newer residential developments in the far southeast can occasionally prompt a meetup request but it is not common. Most deliveries are door to door without any hassle.
Shipping a standard sedan from Tulsa to Aurora on open carrier currently estimates between $400 and $700. That is based on the 660-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.
Aurora prices are Denver prices. The mountain premium that affects the whole Front Range applies here too. Routes heading west over the Rockies on I-70 toward Salt Lake City and the Pacific Coast carry that elevation and pass risk premium. Routes east toward Kansas City and Chicago on I-70 are very well priced because carrier traffic in both directions is strong. Dallas, Phoenix, and Houston lanes are active and competitive. Summer is the peak season. Winter sees some pricing volatility tied to weather. Get a quote to see your exact price.
