Shipping from Nashville, TN

Nashville is a really solid city for auto transport. We move cars through here pretty regularly and it is one of the easier mid-size markets in the country. Three major interstates cross through Nashville. I-40 runs east to west, I-65 runs north to south, and I-24 cuts southeast toward Atlanta. That puts Nashville right in the middle of a bunch of busy carrier routes. Manheim Nashville is active and draws carriers through on a regular basis. There are plenty of dealerships in the metro too, so there is good truck traffic year round.

Pickups in Nashville usually happen within 2 to 4 days. It is not quite as fast as a mega hub like Houston or Atlanta, but it is close. Carriers running I-40 between Memphis and Knoxville pass right through, and so do trucks on I-65 heading between Louisville and Birmingham. That gives us a lot of options when looking for a carrier on your route. During the summer months things can get a little busier with people relocating, but nothing that causes major delays.

Major Hub

Arriving in Atlanta, GA

Atlanta is the auto transport hub of the Southeast and it is not even close. Manheim Atlanta is one of the largest auto auctions in the entire country, processing tens of thousands of vehicles a month. ADESA Atlanta, Copart, and IAA locations add even more auction volume to the market. I-75 and I-85 cross through Atlanta and together they connect Florida to Michigan and the Northeast to the Southwest. I-20 runs east to west connecting Alabama and the Gulf Coast to South Carolina and the ports. Carriers are always in Atlanta because there is always another load waiting.

Atlanta is a destination that carriers actively want to reach because of the outbound load opportunities. Trucks delivering here know Manheim Atlanta alone will have loads ready to move in every direction when they arrive. That means your delivery gets prioritized alongside real business for the carrier. It is one of the reasons this market moves so efficiently.

Pricing on This Route

Shipping a standard sedan from Nashville to Atlanta on open carrier currently estimates between $250 and $550. That is based on the 262-mile distance and current market conditions.

Nashville usually runs right around the national average. Sometimes a little below it. You are not going to see the rock bottom prices that come out of mega hubs like Houston or LA, but you are also not paying any kind of premium. The I-65 corridor to Florida sees some seasonal swings during snowbird season from October to March, so if you are shipping between Nashville and South Florida keep that in mind. Prices on that lane can bump up 10 to 15 percent during peak months. For most other routes it stays pretty steady. Get a quote to see your exact price.

Atlanta runs at or slightly below the national average on most routes. The Florida corridor is extremely active with snowbird traffic from October through April, so prices on Atlanta to South Florida routes can fluctuate seasonally. Everything else is pretty steady and competitive. Routes to Texas, the Carolinas, Tennessee, and the Midwest are all well serviced. Get a quote to see current pricing on your specific lane.
