Phoenix, Tucson, Las Vegas and Albuquerque are strong two-way markets with Florida, and the southern route stays open year-round. Snowbirds who split time between Arizona and Florida are a meaningful share of this corridor.
Primary highways: I-10, I-8, I-17, I-40, I-15, I-25
Seasonal behaviour on this corridor
Winter is peak in both directions because the southern route avoids snow entirely. Summer heat is the real operational factor — desert temperatures affect tires, batteries and driver scheduling.
Transit and cost profile
Five to eight days. I-10 is a continuous freight corridor from Florida to Arizona with reliable coverage.
Reasonable for the distance. Phoenix and Las Vegas have enough two-way volume to keep rates stable.
How this corridor actually runs
- Phoenix-area retirement and active-adult communities usually have gate procedures the driver must be listed for.
- Las Vegas has good carrier density and straightforward suburban access.
- Desert heat means summer pickups and deliveries are often scheduled early in the day.
What affects the cost
We do not publish fixed prices, because an honest price depends on the vehicle and the specific move. These are the inputs that actually change what a carrier charges:
- Vehicle type, size and weight — a dually pickup or large SUV takes more space than a sedan
- Whether the vehicle runs, steers and brakes
- Open or enclosed transport
- How accessible the pickup and delivery locations are for a full-size carrier
- Time of year — snowbird season tightens capacity in both directions
- Carrier availability and current demand on the lane
- How flexible your pickup window is
- Distance and how far the endpoints sit from the main interstate corridor
Open, enclosed and door-to-door
Open transport
Your vehicle travels on a multi-car carrier, secured individually and exposed to the weather the same way it would be if driven. It is the most available and most economical option, and it is what most customers use. More about open transport.
Enclosed transport
A covered trailer, usually with soft straps and often a liftgate. It suits classic, collector, exotic, luxury and low-clearance vehicles, and anyone who wants to avoid road spray and winter salt. More about enclosed transport.
Door-to-door
The carrier comes to you rather than to a terminal. Where a 75-foot rig cannot legally or safely reach an address, the driver arranges a nearby meeting point — standard practice in dense cities and restricted communities. How door-to-door works.
