Carriers usually run this lane on I-70, joining I-35 at either end. Drivers route around weather, roadworks and the other vehicles on the trailer, so that is the usual line rather than a fixed one.

What moves the price

Why a AZ to ME quote changes

Two cars on the same lane in the same week can price differently. On 2,640 miles, these are the factors that actually shift the number.

Price this lane now

  • How many trucks are already running it

    Price on this route is set by how many carriers are heading that way when you book. A week with plenty of trucks between Phoenix and Portland prices near $1,100; a thin week pushes toward $1,420. Nothing about your vehicle changes in between.

  • Which trailer the car travels on

    Around nine in ten vehicles on this lane move open. Enclosed adds roughly 60%, taking it to $1,760-$2,270, and buys four walls, a lift gate and a truck carrying fewer cars.

  • Vehicle size and condition

    Trucks, SUVs and lifted vehicles take more deck space and weight than the sedan those figures assume, typically adding 10 to 25%. Anything that will not roll, steer and brake needs winch loading, which not every carrier on this lane has.

  • Weather across the route

    At 2,640 miles this lane crosses several weather systems. Winter routing can add a day or two, and carriers price that risk in through the worst of it. Summer is the cheaper and more predictable half of the year on long hauls.

  • Seasonal direction of travel

    This is the return leg of the snowbird season, which peaks March through May. Demand out of Arizona concentrates into a few weeks, and carriers who arrive full and leave empty price accordingly.

  • Getting a truck to Maine

    Maine sees fewer transporters than the bigger metros, so the wait for a carrier matters more here than the price per mile. A flexible pickup window is worth more on this lane than on almost any other, because it lets a dispatcher wait for a truck already heading that way.
