We have just completed our delivery of a 2021 Hyundai Tucson that was delivered from Breese, Illinois to Cape Coral, Florida via an open trailer transport service. The vehicle traveled a distance of 1105 miles at a cost of $1,239.00 or $1.12 per mile.
The delivery of the Tucson was operable, which means it was drivable on delivery.
The Route
The 1105 mile journey from Breese to Cape Coral takes a south and east route from Southern Illinois to the Gulf Coast region of Florida. Carriers normally begin at Breese, east of St. Louis and travel south via I-57 until joining I-24 eastward in Kentucky and terminating around Nashville, Tennessee.
From here the journey continues using I-75 south via Atlanta into Georgia all the way into Florida. The last part of the journey travels south on I-75 to Fort Myers where a local highway is used into Cape Coral.
This corridor uses a well-traveled route into Florida making it possible for carriers to be available despite the fact that the journey traverses five states.
What a Standard Regional-to-Long Haul Rate Looks Like
A 1105 mile transport places this cargo in the middle category, neither very short nor long but rather in the middle of a regional distance and full coast to coast transport. This is because the rate of $1.12 per mile is higher than that of a 2,000+ mile full coast to coast transport per mile.
Open Transport
The 2021 Tucson has typical ground clearance for a compact SUV and is loaded on the multi-car open carrier the way most cars would be loaded, since there’s no need for any approach ramps or special equipment for it. As the vehicle was in operable condition, it was driven up the ramps to the loading point by the driver.
The use of open transport is economical for such a trip because it’s a good choice for a car that’s used on a daily basis.
