Dallas is one of the top five auto transport hubs in the country and it is not close. The DFW metro has Manheim Dallas Fort Worth, ADESA Dallas, and multiple Copart and IAA locations scattered across the region. The dealer density across Dallas, Fort Worth, Plano, Irving, and the surrounding suburbs is enormous. I-20, I-30, I-35, and I-45 all converge in this region giving carriers four major corridors to move cars in every direction. We move cars in and out of Dallas every single day. This market never really slows down.
Pickups in Dallas are fast. Most loads get a carrier assigned within 1 to 2 days. The DFW metro is big enough that carriers specifically plan routes through it because they know there will always be a load heading back out. If your car is in the suburbs, pickups are smooth. If it is in a busier commercial zone near downtown we might ask for a simple meetup location but that is rare. Be ready to move because Dallas carriers tend to want to pick up quickly when they have an open slot.
New Orleans is a solid market with some real geography advantages and one significant seasonal factor. I-10 is the main corridor running east to west and it is one of the most important freight highways in the southern US. It connects New Orleans to Baton Rouge, Houston to the west, and Mobile and Jacksonville to the east. I-55 drops north toward Jackson, Mississippi and connects to Memphis and the Midwest. Manheim New Orleans operates out of Slidell, just across Lake Pontchartrain from the city. Copart and IAA both have New Orleans area locations. The dealer market across the metro is active. Port activity adds to carrier awareness of this market. What slows things down is not carrier availability, it is the weather.
Delivering to New Orleans is generally smooth. Carriers on I-10 from Texas or Florida pass through regularly and the auction activity in Slidell gives trucks a reason to be in the area. The city itself has some narrow and older streets in neighborhoods like the French Quarter and Garden District where a full car hauler will not go. Expect to meet your carrier at a nearby accessible spot if you are in one of those areas. It is a minor coordination, not a problem.
Shipping a standard sedan from Dallas to New Orleans on open carrier currently estimates between $300 and $600. That is based on the 539-mile distance and current market conditions.
Dallas is consistently at or below the national average for auto transport. The high carrier competition in this market keeps prices down. You are not going to pay a premium just to get a car in or out of DFW. The only time prices shift noticeably is during the summer relocation season when demand spikes. Even then it is modest. Routes to Houston, San Antonio, Austin, and Oklahoma City are especially active and efficient. Get a quote to see your exact price.
New Orleans runs close to the national average on most routes. The I-10 corridor to Houston and the I-55 corridor north are both well-traveled and priced competitively. Where prices creep up is on routes to less-serviced destinations that require the carrier to go off the main corridors. Hurricane season can also affect pricing if demand spikes suddenly before a storm. Fall and winter, outside of storm season, tend to be the most stable. Get a quote to see your exact price.
