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.
Memphis is a logistics city at its core and that benefits auto transport directly. Two major interstates cross here. I-40 runs coast to coast, connecting Los Angeles to the East Coast and passing right through Memphis. I-55 runs north to south, connecting Chicago and St. Louis down to Louisiana and the Gulf. That intersection puts Memphis on carrier routes that span the whole country. ADESA Memphis has a location here. Copart and IAA both operate Memphis locations. There is also independent auction activity at Dealers Auto Auction on Rental Road. The freight culture here is deep, which means there are drivers and carriers who know this market well.
Delivering to Memphis is smooth because carriers on I-40 and I-55 pass through as a matter of course. Trucks heading from Dallas and Oklahoma City, Chicago and St. Louis, and from Atlanta all move through the Memphis area naturally. This is not a city carriers need to detour to reach. Suburban delivery east of the city is clean. Midtown and central Memphis is accessible and carriers can usually get close with a hauler.
Shipping a standard sedan from Tulsa to Memphis on open carrier currently estimates between $375 and $675. That is based on the 416-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.
Memphis runs at or slightly below the national average. The I-40 and I-55 intersection keeps this market active enough that carriers are not charging a scarcity premium. Routes to and from Nashville, Atlanta, Dallas, and Chicago are all well traveled and competitively priced. The cost per mile drops further on long hauls because Memphis sits centrally on coast-to-coast runs. Routes into rural Mississippi, Arkansas, and western Tennessee cost a bit more because you are leaving the corridor. Get a quote to see your exact price.
