Shipping from Philadelphia, PA

Philadelphia is a major auto transport market with access to some of the busiest carrier corridors in the Northeast. I-95 runs right through the city connecting it to New York to the north and Baltimore, Washington DC, and the South to the south. I-76 connects west toward Pittsburgh and eventually the Midwest. The Philadelphia metro has solid dealer density and Manheim Philadelphia is one of the largest auto auctions in the Northeast, drawing significant carrier traffic to the region. Port of Philadelphia handles some vehicle movement as well. This is a well serviced market.

Pickups in Philadelphia typically happen within 2 to 4 days. The challenge is similar to other dense Northeast cities. Carriers prefer to pick up from the suburbs, South Jersey, Delaware County, or the Route 1 corridor rather than navigating city streets with a full hauler. If your car is in the city proper we will usually coordinate a meetup just outside. If you are in the suburbs it is smooth and typically closer to the 2 day end of the range. The I-95 corridor is one of the most active in the country and Philadelphia sits right in the middle of it.

Solid Market

Arriving in Lexington, KY

Lexington is a solid regional market sitting on two strong interstate corridors. I-64 runs east to west connecting Lexington to Louisville on the west and Huntington, West Virginia on the east. I-75 runs north to south connecting Cincinnati and Detroit to the north and Knoxville and Chattanooga to the south. That is excellent directional coverage for a city of this size. ADESA Lexington is active in the market with regular auction sales. Copart runs two Lexington East locations. The Research Park and pharmaceutical industry bring consistent professional relocations. Kentucky horse country also drives some specialty vehicle movement for high-value vehicles. This is not a major hub but it is better connected than most people expect.

Delivery to Lexington benefits from the same interstate access. Carriers coming south from Cincinnati or north from Knoxville on I-75 drop off cars here regularly. The city is compact and mostly accessible. Downtown Lexington and the University area are manageable. Outer neighborhoods near the interstate corridors are the easiest. Overall this is a smooth delivery market.

Routes to Florida and the Southeast are active snowbird lanes from fall through spring. Routes to Texas and the Midwest are well established. Overall you are paying a modest premium for being in a dense Northeast metro but it is not dramatic. Get a quote to see your specific number.
