Two Vehicles from Oregon to Wyoming Shows Fast Turnaround on Pacific-to-Mountain Route
We can illustrate the efficiency and speed that can come with auto transport, even with mixed vehicles old and new, with a recent auto transport run from Brownsville, Oregon, to Powell, Wyoming. The vehicles transported were a 1986 Nissan 300 ZX and a 2011 Nissan Rogue, a distance of nearly 1100 miles in three states, transferring in remarkably quick time.
The vehicle booking was done on January 28, and the first available date was set for January 31. By February 4, a carrier was assigned, and it collected both vehicles on February 5, delivering them to Wyoming by February 7. The entire activity took only three days.
Open Trailer Considerations
Selecting open transport for both vehicles is also an example of a cost-sensitive approach. Generally, it is found that open trailers can reduce transport costs by 20 to 30 percent when compared to enclosed transport costs for the same journey.
When transport is for two vehicles, the cost advantage is more pronounced.
The trade-off with open transports is exposure to the weather and road debris when in transit. Once again, the 1986 300ZX will be under the elements as the 2011 Rogue. Unless vehicles in good driver condition are in so-called show car condition, this amount of exposure poses little risk to the vehicles in question. Carriers take precautions with proper wheel straps and loading of the vehicles to prevent any shifting between vehicles.
Insurance coverage is available without any restrictions regarding the type of trailer. All carriers that are FMCSA-regulated must have cargo insurance coverage. The typical range of coverage is $100,000 to $500,000 per load for auto transport; however, higher coverage may be purchased on closed vehicles carrying exotic vehicles.
Classic and Modern Vehicles Together
One quite interesting aspect associated with the vehicles was the age gap between the two; the 1986 Nissan 300ZX represents the first-generation Nissan Z car sports coupe, with such vehicles featuring a turbocharged V6 engine and distinctive 1980s design elements. While such vehicles do have a following among collectors and enthusiasts, they are not considered premium classics.
The Nissan Rogue 2011 model represents a standard-sized compact SUV with no special handling requirements. The approach to transporting a 35-year-old sports car and a modern crossover vehicle on the same open trailer represents a practical method of transporting vehicles. Both vehicles successfully cleared the standard height and weight requirements for loading onto the open carrier.
Classic car owners also assume that any vehicle that is over 20 years old automatically needs to be shipped via an enclosed transport. However, for classic cars that are not show-quality or rare, it is possible to ship the vehicle safely via an open transport. The 300ZX, for example, is a classic car that should be shipped via an open transport due to its age and because it will likely be driven and not kept in a collection.
Regional Routing Factors
Moderate shipping volume compared to other major routes, such as California to Texas or Florida to New York, occurs along the corridor from the Pacific Northwest to Mountain West. Surprisingly, this worked in favor for the shipment. Often, carriers running these regional routes have more predictable schedules and are not as plugged up with high competition and last-minute bookings that characterize the busiest shipping lanes.
The relative sparseness of Wyoming’s population also means fewer carriers make regular runs into the state. Powell sits in the northwest portion of Wyoming, closer to Montana than to major Wyoming cities like Cheyenne or Casper. Despite this, the two-day delivery time from pickup to final destination matched what would be expected for a short to medium distance shipment.
Weather in early February can affect routes through this part of the country. Wyoming does experience snow and ice in the winter months, and mountain passes on Interstate 80 can be closed on occasion. The early February timing of this load probably caught a good spell of weather, as there were no reported delays.

Winter Truck Shipping: Ford F-150 Moves 350 Miles from Amherst, NY to Lansing, MI in 1 Day
America’s best-selling truck offers a unique case study of how regional auto transport works. A case example: a 2020 Ford F-150, 4-door Pickup, which was recently shipped from Amherst, New York to Lansing, Michigan, and the insight this offers into the process.
The booking created on February 3rd had a same-day first available date. On February 5th, the carrier was assigned, and the pickup was completed. The next day, February 6th, the truck arrived at its destination, which was in Lansing.
Regional Routes Move Faster and Great Lakes Shipping Corridor
The route takes through well-traveled interstate highways connecting two important Great Lakes metropolitan areas. While the town of Amherst is located in the Buffalo-Niagara region of western New York State, Lansing is the capital city of Michigan.
This route extends a distance of 350 miles and utilizes established paths for trucking, hence the rapid service assignment. The companies involved operate on a regular route between Buffalo and Michigan’s interior, which explains why selecting an available trailer space occurred within two days following the booking date.
The F-150 was shipped via open transport, the most common method for standard pickup trucks. Open carriers transport about 90% of vehicles in the country because they provide good services at a lower cost compared to others.
The route connecting Buffalo-Detroit-Lansing is one of the most utilized routes in the Midwest region for shipping purposes. The dense population and activity within the region make this route utilized by many vehicles constantly.
Interstate 90 and Interstate 80 are the main routes used in this regard. However, carriers may take Highway 2 through Pennsylvania, as well as entering Canada via the Peace Bridge, though most of them opt for interstate highways in the US as they are easier to use.
Ford F-150 4-Door Transport Specifications
The Ford F-150 is still the best-selling vehicle in America, and as such, transport companies often carry these trucks. Standard 4-door F-150 trucks do not require special permits.
Weight issues are also a concern, but even fully loaded, F-150s remain within transportable limits, especially since most open trailers can carry between seven and ten vehicles concurrently, including trucks, SUVs, and cars.
Open transport makes vehicles liable to road and weather conditions, yet they are protected through securing. The vehicles are secured through the use of wheel straps and chain tie downs. They are tied down on both levels of the deck of the trailer.
Cost Factors for Regional Shipping
The basis on which auto transport pricing is worked out is distance, and trips under 500 miles will cost between $0.75 and $2.50 per mile, which can vary depending on fuel costs and season.
In general, the distance from Amherst to Lansing is a short haul. The cost of shipping a standard pickup truck would be lower than that associated with a long haul, although the price per mile would be greater than a long-haul cost because the fixed cost is spread over fewer miles traveled by the hauling company.
February does not fall in the peak shipping season. The peak is between May and September. During winter, freight rates are high because of the risks of bad weather. However, they are usually not as high as those in summer when college moves are a factor.

Two-Day Cross-State Transport: Ford F350 Makes Quick Move from Wyoming to California
A 1997 Ford F350 XLT long bed pickup truck was just shipped across a state from Evanston, Wyoming, to Wheatland, California, in just two days. This is a testament to the effectiveness of established routes and experienced haulers in moving work vehicles long distances.
Wyoming to California Route Proves Efficient
The F350 originated from Evanston in southwestern Wyoming to Wheatland in Yuba County, Northern California. The route involves about 750 miles of transportation, mainly along Interstate 80, passing through the states of Utah and Nevada before reaching California.
The customer arranged the pickup on January 27 with an immediate first available date. It took two days to assign a carrier, which was done on January 29. The carrier picked up the truck on the same day and delivered it on January 31.
Several factors contributed to the efficient timeline. The route from Evanston to Northern California passes through major freight routes. Interstate 80 is the major route for the east-west freight flow in the western part of the country. It carries a large volume of commercial traffic throughout the year.
Late January is winter time in the region, and the weather can be harsh in the state of Wyoming. However, the southern route of I-80 is in better condition than the northern route. The route might have passed through Salt Lake City, Nevada’s I-80 route, and then entered California via the Sierra Nevada passes or the route via Reno. The standard size of the F350 made the process of assigning the carriers easier. The route is not restricted to any particular type of vehicle, and the standard size of the F350 did not impose any difficulty. It is not like other larger vehicles or sports cars that need special equipment to transport.
Work Truck Transport Requires Straightforward Loading
The 1997 F350 XLT is part of Ford’s heavy-duty pickup series. The regular cab with single rear wheels and long bed is commonly used in work settings such as construction, ranching, and business. The truck is approximately 6.5 feet tall and weighs anywhere from 5,000 to 6,500 pounds, depending on the configuration.
Loading the standard-height pickup truck is done according to standard procedures. The driver will position the truck on the upper or lower deck of the carrier based on the current configuration of the carrier’s load. The standard tie-down locations on the frame of the truck ensure proper anchoring. Open carriers are used to transport the majority of the pickup trucks because they are designed to withstand normal road conditions. The F350’s standard clearances and heavy-duty design eliminate the need for enclosed carriers unless the owner requests additional protection.
Ford F-Series trucks are one of the most common types of vehicles shipped. This is because they are popular, and as a result, the carriers know how to load them. The weight of the F350 requires attention to the trailer’s balance, but the carriers can do this efficiently.
Single rear wheel models are easier to ship than dual rear wheel models. The standard width of the rear track is comfortable within the deck spacing on the carrier. The dual rear wheel models require precise positioning so as not to interfere with the adjacent vehicles, although they are common with the carriers. The long bed models extend the bed by 2 feet compared to the standard bed models. This extension is taken into account by the carrier when loading the trucks but does not cause any problems. The driver parks the long trucks on the deck where they do not interfere with the other vehicles.
Cross-State Logistics Coordination
The two-day assignment window reflects normal processing time for cross-state shipments. Brokers coordinate between customer requirements and carrier availability. This particular shipment’s immediate first available date meant the logistics team prioritized finding the first suitable carrier traveling the route.
January represents moderate season for auto transport. Summer months see higher demand from student moves and family relocations. Winter shipping often provides more carrier availability and shorter assignment windows, though weather conditions can affect northern routes.

Ford Bronco Makes Cross-Country Journey from Duxbury, MA to Boulder, CO
Recently, a 2023 Ford Bronco successfully completed a cross-country transportation service from Duxbury, Massachusetts to Boulder, Colorado. This shipment is an excellent example of how effective planning and good routing can guarantee an efficient delivery time for cross-country vehicle transportation services.
Quick Assignment and Pickup Coordination
The customer booked the shipment on January 20th with a first available date of January 21st. The transport broker assigned the shipment to a carrier on January 22nd, just two days after booking. This quick assignment set the stage for a smooth pickup process.
The carrier picked up the Bronco on January 28th. While this was six days after carrier assignment, the timeframe falls within normal industry standards for cross-country shipments. Most transport companies recommend booking at least two to four weeks in advance to secure optimal pickup windows. This shipment’s timeline showed efficient coordination between all parties.
The Massachusetts to Colorado Route
The Duxbury to Boulder route spans about 2,000 miles across the nation. This mileage would take about six to seven days of actual driving time, considering the federal Hours of Service regulations. Truckers are only allowed to drive a maximum of 11 hours a day, which is equivalent to about 450 miles of daily progress, considering truck inspections and fueling stops.
The Bronco arrived on February 2nd. This gave the shipment a five-day window from pickup to delivery. This is an efficient rate of travel for a 2,000-mile trip. The carrier made good progress across the country without significant delays due to weather, traffic, or mechanical issues.
Open Transport for the Ford Bronco
The Ford Bronco is suitable for open transport. The Bronco is a midsize SUV with a standard size that fits perfectly on open transport carriers without needing any special handling. The Bronco’s ground clearance and size are also within the normal range, so the loading and securing of the vehicle were done in the normal way.
This shipment is an example of the realistic expectations for auto transport across the country. The total time from the initial booking to the final delivery took 13 days. The actual transit time from the point of pickup took five days.
If a customer is considering shipping a vehicle, the actual transit time for a cross-country shipment is around seven to ten days. However, there are several variables that go into the actual transit time, including the weather, the traffic, and the point of pickup. The carrier will often pick up several vehicles along the route, so the order in which the vehicles are picked up will determine the actual delivery time.
The federal government has regulations that dictate the number of hours that can be driven in a day. This means that, considering that drivers can drive 11 hours in a day, they can cover about 400 to 500 miles in a day. This means that if the route is 2,000 miles, it will take at least four to five days of driving. However, considering that there is also time needed to arrange pickups, deliveries, and rest time, it is likely that it will take five to eight days.
Transport Summary
- Origin: Duxbury, MA 02332
- Destination: Boulder, CO 80303
- Vehicle type and condition: 2023 Ford Bronco (Operable, midsize SUV)
- Distance: Approximately 2,000 miles

Old Jeep Cherokee Makes Fast Cross-Country Trip from Nevada to Indiana
A 1992 Jeep Cherokee successfully completed a cross-country transport from North Las Vegas, NV to Logansport, IN in early February. This example proves that older vehicles can be transported in a quick and efficient manner, even over long distances. This shipment was approximately 1,900 miles, taking only four days from pickup to delivery. The owner of the Cherokee booked the transport on January 28th, with a same-day first available date. A transport was assigned in 48 hours, where the vehicle was picked up on January 30th and delivered on February 3rd.
Why Old Jeeps Get Shipped Cross-Country
The early 1990s Cherokee is a popular model year for Jeep enthusiasts and collectors. These models are now well over 30 years old, so many owners choose to ship their vehicles rather than put additional cross-country mileage on their aging powertrains. The 1992 model year was the last year of the original first-generation Cherokee XJ design before a significant refresh, making it highly desirable among enthusiasts of the model.
Individuals who move for employment, purchase cars from out-of-state dealers, or move classic cars to professional mechanics may require a means of transportation. The route from Nevada to Indiana probably involved one of these typical uses. Cross-country transport allows owners to avoid the mileage that comes with driving a long distance on the highway. A 1,900-mile road trip would put a substantial amount of mileage on the vehicle and subject an aging powertrain to the stresses of highway driving. Contemporary interstate transport provides a much safer alternative.
Open Transport for a 32-Year-Old SUV
The owner decided on open transport for this particular shipment. Open transport is still the most popular option due to the fact that it is cheaper and goes faster. These cars run on a set course along major shipping routes, making it quicker to find available space.
In a vehicle such as a 1992 Cherokee, open transport should be sufficient. These cars were never luxury cars when new. In fact, the Cherokee line was made for people who wanted a vehicle that could handle the job, even if it wasn’t elegant.
The boxy shape and high clearance of the Cherokee make it an ideal vehicle for standard carrier loading. Sports cars, on the other hand, are low-clearance vehicles and need special ramps or tilt bed equipment for transport. SUVs of this era are easily loaded onto standard car haulers. The driver simply drives the vehicle onto the carrier deck and secures it in place with the use of wheel straps and chains on the axle.
Four-Day Delivery Timeline
The total transport time for the trip from North Las Vegas to Logansport took four days, which is indicative of optimized routing on a favorable route.
The route passes through major shipping routes that link Nevada to the Midwest.
The carriers moving east from Las Vegas usually take Interstate 15 north to Interstate 70 and then proceed through Utah, Colorado, Kansas, and then into the Midwest. Another route takes Interstate 40 through Arizona and New Mexico before heading north. Both routes have heavy auto transport volumes since they link major population centers.
The assignment of the carrier took only two days after booking. This was due to the fact that the route from Las Vegas to Indiana is a regular route. Carriers moving from California through the Southwest usually look for a load that goes east. It was opportune to assign this Cherokee to a carrier.
Four days is well within the norm for the distance traveled. This is because they cover 400-500 miles per day, considering loading, unloading, fueling, and DOT-required rest periods. The 1,900-mile trip would take 3.5 to 4.3 days just for driving.
Insurance and Documentation for Older Vehicles
When transporting a car that is over 30 years old, the owners need to focus on the condition documentation process. The Bill of Lading is completed by the transport company at the time of pickup and delivery. It documents the condition of the vehicle. For a 1992 model, pre-existing conditions are expected. This should include things such as paint chipping, minor dings, or weathered trim. Auto transport typically includes basic cargo insurance, but the limits of the insurance vary by company. Owners of customized or particularly clean cars may want to check the limits of the insurance before transporting.

2024 Tesla Model Y Ships from Virginia to Mississippi: Fast Timeline Shows Open Transport Efficiency
Thousands of electric vehicle shipments are handled by auto transport companies every year. The 2024 Tesla Model Y has emerged as one of the most commonly transported electric vehicles in the United States. A recent transport of the electric vehicle from Springfield, Virginia to Pearl, Mississippi illustrates how efficiently electric vehicles can be transported by car transport companies.
Springfield to Pearl: The Route Details
The transport route spanned around 1,050 miles. The customer placed the order on January 13th, with the first available date set on January 22nd. The notification for the carrier assignment was received on January 29th. The pickup took place the following day on January 30th, and the Tesla reached its destination in Mississippi on February 2nd. The entire transport process took only three days from the time of pickup to delivery. This is well within the transport standards for medium-distance routes. Open trailer transport proved to be the most economical method for this particular vehicle.
Why This Route Worked Well
The route from Springfield to Pearl includes busy shipping routes. Interstate roads facilitate the connection between these two places in a smooth way. However, alternative routes using state roads require one or two days due to lower speed limits and increased stops. Truckers carry cars along these routes, and therefore it becomes easier to find them quickly. The January schedule helped in avoiding peak season constraints. Spring and autumn are peak seasons for car transport services. These seasons increase costs by $100-$150. Bookings for these seasons take weeks, while bookings for winter seasons take a shorter time due to low movement.
The open transport option speeds up the timeline. Enclosed trucks carry fewer cars and have limited schedules, adding two to three days to the delivery time because they account for only 10% of the carriers. Open trucks offer faster services because they are the majority and fill up their capacity faster.
Electric Vehicle Transport Considerations
The Model Y was transported on an open trailer along with other cars traveling in the same direction.
Open transport is a more affordable option compared to enclosed transport. This is because more cars are transported at one time. This mode is appropriate for new electric cars like the Model Y, which do not need extra precautions against weather conditions. Modern open trailers are equipped with top-class tie-down systems for proper car security.
There are also certain steps that have to be prepared when shipping an electric vehicle. The charge of the battery is more significant than most people think. The charge of the battery should be between 45 and 65 percent when shipping an EV. This is because it should have enough charge to allow the driver to load and unload the vehicle. This also ensures that there is no overheating of the lithium-ion battery, which can occur when fully charged and then transported. The driver should be able to move the EV on and off the trailer at both pickup and delivery sites.
Weight also plays a significant part when shipping any vehicle. Electric cars are heavier than most gasoline cars due to their battery packs. A 2024 Tesla Model Y weighs 4,400 pounds. This is well within the average weight range of most SUVs and does not necessarily incur extra shipping fees. Auto transport carriers who have experience shipping cars are also aware of how to handle EVs. This is because most of them have probably handled hundreds or thousands of EVs by now.
The Growing Electric Vehicle Market
The use of electric vehicles is on the rise in the United States. According to the International Energy Agency, electric vehicles will make up 25% of all car sales in 2025. This is directly affecting the car transport industry.
Tesla models are common on transport routes connecting large cities. The Model Y is one of the best-selling Tesla models. It is one of the most sought-after models due to its range, capacity, and affordability.
Increased transport of electric vehicles has led to the development of efficient ways of transporting these vehicles. Five years ago, there were concerns about transporting electric vehicles. This is now common practice.

Shipping The V12 Hybrid Supercar: 2025 Lamborghini Revuelto from Doral, FL to Austin, TX
A brand-new flagship car from Lamborghini has just made the journey from South Florida to Central Texas without any problems. The 2025 Revuelto is the first plug-in hybrid supercar from Lamborghini. The car combines a naturally aspirated V12 engine with three electric motors to produce 1,001 horsepower. The car traveled a distance of 1,400 miles from Doral, Florida to Austin, Texas. The car had to be handled with care throughout the journey.
Quick Turnaround from Booking to Delivery
Someone arranged the transport on January 26th, and January 28th was the first available pickup. A carrier was assigned within 24 hours on January 27th. Pickup occurred right on time on January 28th. The car was delivered on January 31st.
Five days from the time of booking to delivery. It took three days from the time of pickup to delivery. That’s on the quicker side for this distance. Enclosed exotic transports over 1,400 miles usually take four to six days. This one was on the quicker side of that spectrum.
Why a Hard-Sided Enclosed Trailer Was Used
A hard-sided enclosed trailer made of steel and aluminum was used for this particular transportation. This is the best form of protection for vehicles against road debris and other elements during transportation.
A hard-sided trailer is different from a soft-sided trailer since it is completely sealed and closed. Nothing can penetrate the trailer and reach the vehicles inside. This is a great form of protection for vehicles during transportation.
Soft-sided trailers are usually made of canvas or vinyl and cannot provide the same level of protection as a hard-sided trailer. Even a small chip on the paint of an exotic car can cost thousands of dollars to repair.
Fewer Vehicles, More Care The trailer used for this transportation may have carried only two vehicles. This is not a coincidence. While a regular trailer can carry five to seven cars, a trailer with a low capacity can provide the following benefits:
- More space for each vehicle
- More care during loading and unloading
- Less chance for vehicles to be in contact with each other
Because there are fewer cars inside, each vehicle is placed extremely carefully and securely, reducing movement during the trip.
Why Enclosed Exotic Transport Costs More
While using a low-capacity, hard-sided enclosed trailer does come with a price, the price is well worth paying. In fact, the price difference for enclosed exotic transport can be as much as 180%-400% more per mile than standard open transport.
However, when it comes to luxury cars, classic cars, or exotic cars, the price is well worth paying for the following benefits:
- Maximum Protection
- Peace of Mind
- Preservation of the Car
Loading a Car That Sits 3.0 to 3.5 Inches off the Ground
The Revuelto sits about 3.0 to 3.5 inches off the ground. This is comparable to other Lamborghini models, and it causes problems during loading.
Standard ramps are usually 14 to 18 degrees in angle. This causes problems, as the front splitter strikes the ramp before the vehicle reaches halfway up the ramp. This damages the carbon fiber, which then scrapes against the metal ramp. Repairing the front section can cost anywhere from 3,000 to 15,000 dollars.
Those who are knowledgeable about loading cars like this, which are this low off the ground, use special loading techniques. They might use longer ramps with wooden planks attached, or a wheel dolly like a “Go-Jak” that lifts the wheels up a little bit.
The carrier in this particular case used one of these special loading techniques. Most carriers, those who are knowledgeable about loading these types of cars, will not transport a Lamborghini with standard ramps because of the risk of damage.

Florida to Texas is a Busy Route
The Florida to Texas route is also one that gets a lot of auto transport business in the southern part of the country. Interstate 10 is the highway that links these areas through the state of Louisiana. This makes it easier to find available auto transport services, as it is a busy route.
Carriers Need Higher Insurance for Expensive Vehicles
According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, carriers must have at least $1 million in public liability insurance. Carriers that handle exotic cars must have higher insurance limits because these cars are worth more than $100,000 or even $1 million. Insurance for cargo of exotic transports must cover the value of the vehicle. Carriers normally have cargo insurance that covers vehicles up to $100,000 or $250,000. Exotic cars, however, must have extra insurance that covers them for their actual value.
Experienced companies that specialize in transporting exotic cars check their insurance before they accept a job. Car owners must ask for insurance certificates from the carriers. This will help avoid arguments in case the vehicle gets damaged during transportation.
Exotic Car Transport is a Specialty Business
Exotic cars are only 2 percent of the total shipments, but they are the most prone to damage during the loading process. Special equipment has to be purchased, which is costly.
Exotic car transport companies tend to have fewer trucks, only transporting exotic cars. This is because transporting exotic cars requires specialized handling. Exotic car transport companies charge higher rates, but the cost of the equipment for transporting the cars is much higher, as are the insurance costs. Exotic car transport companies charge higher rates, but the money spent is worth it, as the cost of repairs for damage during transport can end up being many times the total transport cost.
Austin’s Tech Boom Drives Exotic Car Demand
Austin has a thriving tech industry and a great tax structure, and this has brought a lot of money into Central Texas. The exotic cars have thrived right along with this growth.
Time may be required to find an enclosed carrier since not as many are on the road as open carriers. The route is a main shipping route for Doral to Austin. Routes for shipping between main cities will have more available carriers and competitive pricing. The time required for pickup can be longer for a secondary or rural area as a carrier is pieced together.
The Bottom Line
Traveling only three days from Florida to Texas speaks to good route planning and expert handling from start to finish. Exotic vehicle owners should prioritize experience and equipment over whoever provides the lowest bid. Exotic vehicle owners should be willing to spend extra money for enclosed exotic vehicle transport because these vehicles can cost upwards of $500,000. When you’re talking about vehicles that ride only 3.5 inches off the ground and have all the carbon fiber components that these supercars have, you can’t afford to cut corners.

Same-Day Classic Car Delivery: 1987 Monte Carlo Completes Virginia to Maryland Transport
A trip from Remington, Virginia to Crofton, Maryland, moving a 1987 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, exemplified the shipping routes that can transport classic cars to where they are needed, without the waiting around that is typically involved. The customer made the booking on the 22nd of January, receiving same-day pickup and delivery on the 28th of January.
Quick Turnaround on Regional Routes
This trip consisted of approximately 80 miles between Remington’s rural location in Fauquier County and Crofton, near Annapolis. The customer called in to book their pickup on January 22nd, which was also entered as the first available pickup date. It took five days to find a carrier, which is quite normal for open transport bookings. Once matched up with a carrier on January 27th, the driver completed the pickup and delivery in one day, January 28th. This is a same-day service, but everything has to fall into place.
The Timeline
The January 22nd booking with same-day FAD indicated the customer could be moved right away. The five-day assignment period allowed the broker to assign the shipment to a carrier already scheduled for the Virginia-Maryland route. The assignment on January 27th indicated the carrier was ready to roll the next day.
The pickup occurred on January 28th, likely in the morning. The delivery completed the process the same day, likely in the afternoon. This is possible because the route is short and direct. Cross-country shipments take seven to ten days because of the distance and the number of stops. The rapid transit in this case illustrates how regional transport differs from long-haul transport. The shorter distance means there is less to coordinate and fewer variables. Customers who ship within the state or to adjacent states typically receive similar turnaround times.
What is The Advantage of Short-distance Transportation
Regional transport between Virginia and Maryland takes advantage of existing carriers that transport goods along these routes. There are many carriers that transport goods along the Washington and Baltimore region all the time. Thus, there is little waiting around for carrier assignment, unlike in less traveled routes.
The process of Bill of Lading followed standard protocol. The truck driver took photos and wrote down notes regarding the state of the Monte Carlo when the goods were picked up in Remington. The same process was followed when the goods were delivered in Crofton to ensure that the goods were not damaged in the process. The shipper and the truck driver signed off in both cases. The distances were less, reducing the chances of road hazards. An 80-mile trip does not cover nearly as much ground as some of the routes that are taken in cross-country transport. The vehicle had minimal time spent on the highway and minimal exposure to weather changes and road debris.
Route Considerations Between Virginia and Maryland
The Remington to Crofton route likely takes Interstate 66 East, then I-495 South, and finally Route 50 East. This keeps the big rigs on highways designed for commercial traffic. The total drive time should take about 90 minutes in normal driving conditions. Carriers avoid residential streets if possible. If one of the locations was difficult to access with a full-size truck, a meeting place was arranged. This is usually a large parking lot or commercial area, away from traffic. There is no mention in the booking notes of any access problems at either location.
Open Transport for Third-Generation Monte Carlos
The 1987 Monte Carlo is part of the third generation of Chevys that bear this name. This series of Monte Carlos had the aerodynamic look that GM mid-size coupes were known for throughout the 1980s. An open transport is sufficient for cars of this time because these cars do not have the crazy value that often necessitates the expense of an enclosed transport. Open transport allows for the transport of seven to ten vehicles on a double-deck carrier. This method of transport is 30-40% cheaper than the enclosed method because it allows multiple vehicles to be transported at once. The Monte Carlo was on a standard open hauler, but it was going in the same direction as other cars.
Classic Cars on Open Trailers
The 1987 Monte Carlo is in a strange sweet spot for classic car transport. It’s old enough to be considered a classic, but not rare enough to require enclosed transport. Most people who transport 1980s American coupes choose open transport. Saving a buck is more important than worrying about possible damage.
Open transport holds cars in place with heavy-duty straps at multiple points. The Monte Carlo would have been placed to not touch other cars. The driver checks the straps before leaving and at stops. The biggest difference between open and enclosed transport is weather protection. January weather in Virginia and Maryland might be rainy or chilly. Open transport leaves the car out in the weather for the short drive. A 37-year-old Monte Carlo, which is of daily driver quality, can handle this.

Vehicle Transportation and Logistics for NADA Show 2026 Purchases
How Dealers Transport Vehicles Purchased at NADA Show Back to Their Dealerships
Dealers at NADA often complete vehicle transactions during the show. This includes dealer trades and auction purchases. Private party acquisitions happen too. These vehicles need transport back to your dealership. You need to plan and coordinate with reliable carriers ahead of time.
Most dealers work with auto transport brokers who connect them with certified carriers. Brokers handle the scheduling and paperwork. They vet carriers so you can focus on show activities rather than logistics. The process starts with providing vehicle details. You give the pickup location in Las Vegas and delivery address at your dealership.
Open transport stays the most affordable option for standard inventory vehicles. Cars load onto multi-vehicle carriers that haul up to nine vehicles per trip. This works well for used inventory and new vehicles that don’t need enclosed protection during transit.
Enclosed transport costs more but provides complete protection from weather and road debris. Dealers choose this for high-value vehicles or classics. Anything requiring extra care during shipping gets enclosed. Hard-sided enclosed trailers create a fully sealed environment. They prevent exposure to the elements.
What Auto Transport Costs From Las Vegas to Major Dealer Markets in 2026
Transport costs from Las Vegas vary based on distance and route density. Time of year matters too. Routes to California run anywhere from $400-$600 because of the short distance. High carrier availability on West Coast lanes keeps prices reasonable. Transport to Texas runs $700-$900. East Coast deliveries can hit $1,100-$1,400.
| Origin → Destination | Distance (miles) | Transport Type | Price (USD) | Price per Mile |
| Las Vegas → San Francisco | 570 miles | Open Transport | $640 | $1.12 / mile |
| Las Vegas → Los Angeles | 270 miles | Open Transport | $480 | $1.78 / mile |
| Las Vegas → Dallas | 1,220 miles | Open Transport | $840 | $0.69 / mile |
| Las Vegas → New York | 2,520 miles | Open Transport | $1,350 | $0.54 / mile |
Expedited shipping guarantees faster pickup and delivery windows. This usually means within 1-3 days of booking. The service costs 30-50% more than standard transport. It’s worth it when you need vehicles on the lot quickly to complete customer sales. Some carriers offer guaranteed pickup dates for an extra fee even without full expedited service.
Distance affects per-mile pricing in ways that might not seem obvious. Shorter routes under 500 miles can cost $1.50-$2.00 per mile. Longer cross-country hauls average $0.60-$0.90 per mile. Carriers make more money on long-distance loads so they price short hauls higher to stay profitable.
How to Book Vehicle Transport Before You Buy at NADA Show 2026
Smart dealers plan their transport needs before arriving in Las Vegas. Pre-booking means vehicles get picked up quickly after purchase. They won’t sit in parking lots waiting for available carriers. This advance planning prevents delays that could mess up customer delivery promises back home.
Tempus Logix offers an AI-powered price calculator that gives instant quotes. It’s based on vehicle type and pickup location. Destination and transport method factor in too. You can get accurate pricing estimates before committing to vehicle purchases. This helps with profit margin calculations on trades and auction buys. The system pulls real-time carrier availability data. You get realistic pickup windows rather than generic estimates.
The booking process starts with basic vehicle info. Make and model come first. Year matters and whether the vehicle runs. Pickup and delivery addresses come next along with preferred dates. Most brokers can arrange pickup within 1-5 days for standard routes. Popular lanes like Las Vegas to Southern California often see same-day or next-day availability.
You need to understand what documentation carriers require at pickup. This document lists pre-existing damage and odometer readings. Vehicle condition gets noted. Having this paperwork ready speeds up the pickup process. It prevents disputes about damage claims later.
Pre-existing damage documented on the Bill of Lading excludes those issues from coverage. Dealers shipping high-value vehicles should consider supplemental insurance to cover the full replacement value.

Old GMC Sierra 2500HD Makes Quick Trip from Kirksville , Missouri to Abilene , Kansas
A 1982 GMC Sierra 2500HD completed its trip from Kirksville, Missouri to Abilene, Kansas, and it is now ready. The old pickup was booked on January 26, and two days later, it was picked up. It arrived the following morning.
The distance traveled by the truck was around 330 miles. This route connects two smaller cities without traversing any of the major metro areas. This may make it more difficult at times to locate available carriers. The truck was on an open transport carrier.
Why Open Transport Works for Old Trucks
The GMC Sierra 2500HD was loaded onto an open carrier. While open carriers leave a vehicle exposed to the elements, in the case of certain types of vehicles, this trade-off makes sense. Old work trucks tend to have hard paint and construction that can withstand bad weather during short trips.
The majority of the auto transport industry relies on open carriers. A standard open carrier has a capacity for 7 to 10 vehicles at a time. This keeps costs lower per vehicle than what you might pay for enclosed carriers. This method is good for pickups, SUVs, and daily drivers that do not need hard-sided carriers for protection. An enclosed carrier can cost as much as 180% to 400% more than an open carrier. In a 330-mile trip, this cost adds up quickly without providing a lot of benefit for a hardy vehicle like the Sierra. The Sierra did not require any special equipment to load it onto a carrier.
Quick Carrier Assignment on Regional Routes
The booking began on January 26, and pickup was available on the same day. Tempus Logix found a carrier match on January 28. This is pretty normal for routes in the Midwest, especially during the winter.
The speed at which a carrier is found can depend on a few different factors. The Kirksville to Abilene route doesn’t get as much traffic as some of the other routes, but it does go through areas with steady traffic, especially if a carrier is moving between Kansas City and Des Moines. Winter can also slow down the movement of a carrier, especially in the northern states. However, January 2025 has had pretty mild weather in Missouri and Kansas so far. A carrier can move quickly if the weather doesn’t force them to change their route or slow down their movement. The Sierra pickup didn’t have any weather issues during their window.
Loading Process for Standard Pickups
Open carriers use hydraulic systems to make loading ramps. The carrier lowers the top deck to ground level and that creates an angled path for vehicles to drive up. The GMC Sierra would’ve been driven onto either the top or bottom deck. That depends on what other vehicles the carrier had and how weight needed to be distributed.
Trucks with higher ground clearance load way easier than low sports cars. The Sierra’s factory ride height meant the driver didn’t need approach ramps or special gear. The vehicle just drove up the metal treads on the carrier’s hydraulic deck.
After it was in position the truck got secured with four-point tie-down straps. These heavy-duty straps attach to the carrier’s deck and loop around the vehicle’s frame or designated anchor points. The straps stop any movement during transport so the truck stays stable through turns and braking and highway speeds.
Cost Stuff for Short Trips
The 330-mile distance between Kirksville and Abilene is what most carriers would call a short-haul route. The rates for routes that are less than 500 miles will typically range from $1.50 to $4.50 per mile. This is dependent on fuel prices and the number of available carriers.
Winter shipping in the Midwest is not always more expensive. The higher prices are usually reflected in the summer when the demand is the greatest for families who are moving as well as college students. The two-day wait between booking the shipment and the carrier being assigned is a good indication of the market conditions. When carriers are scarce, the wait can be five to seven days or longer. Customers who require timely shipping should book as early as they can. However, this shipment is an indication that quick turnarounds can be arranged for some routes.
