Does the direction matter?

Yes. A snowbird lane is expensive southbound in November and cheap southbound in March, and the reverse northbound. Relocation lanes like California to Texas run fuller in one direction, which makes the return trip cheaper. Each route page shows both.

What if my route is not listed?

It is still served. Every lane in the country is priced from the same distance bands, and the quote form gives a range for any two addresses. The routes here are the ones with enough traffic to describe day by day.

Why is a city route priced differently from the state route?

Because the truck's stop order matters. Miami is the last drop on the Florida run and Orlando the first, so New York City to Orlando is $50–$100 below New York City to Miami even though both are on the same truck.

How accurate are the transit times?

They are the windows carriers actually quote: 400–500 miles a day with stops for other customers. A route page's window is the range most shipments land in; the driver calls the day before delivery with a time.

Can I ship the reverse of a route?

Yes. Every route page links to its reverse, and the price and season notes for the return direction are on that page. Booking both legs together holds the return slot and is priced as a pair.

The lanes, one by one

A route page is the most useful page on this site if you already know where the car is going. Each one has the price for that lane by vehicle and trailer, the transit window carriers actually quote, the highways the truck runs, the months when the price moves and why, and the local details at both ends: where a 75-foot truck can stop, which gates admit it, which airport lots drivers use, and what is particular to shipping between those two places.

The routes are grouped by corridor. The Northeast-to-Florida lanes are the snowbird main line and the busiest corridor in the country. The Midwest-to-Florida lanes run down I-75 and I-65 to the Gulf Coast. The Midwest-to-Arizona lanes run I-40 to the Valley. The California lanes are relocations to Texas and the coasts. And the regional and coast-to-coast lanes cover the rest of the big flows. Under each state route are the city pairs that make up most of its traffic, priced for their own stop on the load rather than for the state as a whole. Every route page has the quote form pre-set to the lane; add your vehicle and a specialist calls with a firm carrier price within business hours.
