Shipping from Austin, TX

Austin has become one of the fastest growing auto transport markets in the country over the last several years and the volume has followed. The tech industry boom brought tens of thousands of relocations from California, the Northeast, and the Pacific Northwest, and that created enormous shipping demand in both directions. I-35 is the main north to south corridor connecting Austin to Dallas and San Antonio. I-10 is accessible nearby heading east to Houston and west to the Hill Country. Dealer density has grown significantly and auction activity is solid. This market is active and getting more active every year.

Pickups in Austin typically happen within 2 to 3 days. The relocation boom has meant carriers are actively looking for Austin loads because the volume is there. The California to Austin corridor is especially well traveled. Carriers who dropped a California load in Austin are looking for a load back west, which works in your favor if you are shipping from Austin to California. Routes to Dallas and Houston are fast. The I-35 corridor between Austin and Dallas is one of the most consistently active lanes in Texas.

Arriving in Cleveland, OH

Cleveland is a strong auto transport market and carries serious auto industry history that still matters today. I-90 runs along the south shore of Lake Erie and connects Cleveland to Toledo, Detroit, and Buffalo in both directions. I-71 drops south toward Columbus and Cincinnati and eventually connects to Louisville and Nashville. I-77 runs south to Akron and Canton and connects to the larger I-70 corridor heading east and west. Manheim Cleveland operates out of Brook Park right next to Hopkins International Airport. ADESA Cleveland is in Northfield. IAA operates in the Lorain area west of the city. That is real auction density and it keeps carrier traffic flowing through this market consistently. Cleveland is not Dallas but it is a legitimate Midwest hub.

Cleveland is a natural delivery destination for carriers on I-90 heading east or west, and on I-71 coming up from the south. The auction infrastructure here gives carriers a reason to come because they can pick up another load heading out. Most suburban deliveries are simple. Inner-city deliveries near downtown are doable with a meetup arrangement. Plan for weather delays in winter and you will be fine.
