Regional Market

Shipping from Tulsa, OK

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.

Arriving in Denver, CO

Denver is the auto transport hub of the Rocky Mountain region and it is the only true hub for hundreds of miles in any direction. That gives it real importance. I-70 runs east toward Kansas City and west into the Rockies toward Salt Lake City. I-25 runs north to south connecting Wyoming down through Colorado Springs to New Mexico. There is a Manheim location in Denver. The dealer market across the Front Range including Boulder, Fort Collins, Colorado Springs, and the suburbs is solid and growing. Carriers running the I-70 corridor make Denver a natural stop.

Delivering to Denver is reliable. Carriers coming in from the east on I-70 from Kansas City and St. Louis make this a natural stop. From the south on I-25 out of Albuquerque or El Paso it is a longer haul but manageable. From the west, carriers crossing the Rockies from Salt Lake City run this route regularly. Winter mountain pass closures can add a day to westbound deliveries occasionally but carriers have experience navigating around them.

Pricing on This Route

Shipping a standard sedan from Tulsa to Denver on open carrier currently estimates between $425 and $725. That is based on the 670-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.

Denver runs slightly above the national average, mostly because of the mountain premium that carriers factor in for routes crossing the Rockies, and because it is not on the flat carrier superhighways like I-10 or I-80. The Denver to Dallas lane and Denver to LA lane are very active and competitively priced. Routes to and from the Pacific Northwest and the Midwest are solid. Get a quote to see your specific lane.
