2,310 miles, 5 to 7 days on the truck, and $1,030 to $1,330 for a running sedan. Below is where that range comes from and what pushes a quote to either end of it.

Carriers usually run this lane on I-40, 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 VA to AZ quote changes

Two cars on the same lane in the same week can price differently. On 2,310 miles, these are the factors that actually shift the number.

Price this lane now
  • Market rate, not a rate card

    There is no fixed VA to AZ price. Carriers bid for loads, so the number moves with fuel, season and how much freight is heading that way. At roughly 0.50/mi this lane has been sitting between $1,030 and $1,330.

  • Which trailer the car travels on

    Around nine in ten vehicles on this lane move open. Enclosed adds roughly 60%, taking it to $1,650-$2,130, 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 2,310 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

    Arizona is a snowbird destination, so this direction tightens from October through December. Rates rise while everyone moves the same way, and the return leg softens at the same time. Booking two to three weeks before the peak is the cheapest way to ship it.
