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.
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 Austin to Memphis on open carrier currently estimates between $425 and $725. That is based on the 683-mile distance and current market conditions.
Austin pricing runs close to the national average with a few notable corridors. The Austin to California route is competitive and often well priced. The Austin to Dallas and Austin to Houston lanes are very affordable because of the sheer volume. Long haul routes to the Northeast run at market rate. The relocation boom has actually kept prices reasonable because it brought more carrier supply to match the demand.
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.
