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.
Raleigh is a solid and growing auto transport market. The Research Triangle is one of the fastest-growing relocation destinations in the country right now. Companies like IBM, Cisco, SAS, and a wave of biotech and pharma firms have been pulling professionals in from California, New York, and the Northeast for years. That means a steady stream of cars moving in and out. I-40 is the main artery connecting Raleigh west to Durham, Chapel Hill, and all the way to Asheville. I-85 gives carriers a direct shot up to Charlotte and the Virginia border. ADESA Raleigh services the market and Manheim North Carolina operates out of Kenly, about 50 miles east. The auction density is not Dallas-level but it is enough to keep carriers moving through consistently.
Receiving a car in Raleigh is straightforward. Carriers coming up from Charlotte on I-85, down from the DC area on I-95 and US-1, and in from the west on I-40 all pass through the Triangle naturally. The suburbs are easy for carrier access. If you need delivery to a dense neighborhood near downtown Raleigh, your carrier may want to hand off at a nearby parking lot. It is a quick and easy coordination, not a barrier.
Shipping a standard sedan from Tulsa to Raleigh on open carrier currently estimates between $675 and $975. That is based on the 1,183-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.
Raleigh runs right around the national average on most routes, sometimes slightly above on lanes that do not have heavy carrier traffic in both directions. Routes to and from Charlotte, Atlanta, and the DC area are well-serviced and competitive. Long haul routes to Texas, the Midwest, or the West Coast cost a bit more simply because Raleigh is not a major hub. The relocation market helps keep prices fair though because there is consistent two-way demand. Get a quote to see your exact price.
