Shipping from Dallas, TX

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.

Arriving in Memphis, TN

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.

Pricing on This Route

Shipping a standard sedan from Dallas to Memphis on open carrier currently estimates between $275 and $575. That is based on the 512-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.

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.
