Car Shipping from Georgia to Colorado with Axis Auto Logistics
Have you ever made the drive from Georgia to Colorado? It’s a long way and there’s a lot of Interstate miles to cover…from Atlanta to Denver is a little over 1400 miles, the kind of drive that you’d need to split into at least two days even if you were in the comfort and familiarity of your own family SUV. It’d be demanding enough under the best circumstances, so now imagine what it’d be like to make that drive behind the wheel of a commercial auto transport truck, with several customer vehicles entrusted to your care.

Elements That Determine Your Auto Transport Expenses
Here are some of the factors that have to be plugged into the equation when calculating shipping rates:
Vehicle year/make/model: what would you think would be more expensive to ship by truck: a 1200 lb golf cart, or a 12,000 lb industrial forklift? Of course the forklift; it burns more fuel for every mile it’s hauled and it causes more wear and tear on the shipping truck. That’s why a late model F150 costs more to ship than a Mini Cooper.
Vehicle running condition: we can and do ship non-running vehicles that can’t start, run, steer and stop under their own power, but it requires special equipment and procedures on the part of the driver. Not all transport trailers have this kind of equipment, and that will mean enhanced shipping costs.
Distance involved: cost/mile is always the basic measure for shipping costs, and the more miles are involved, the higher the shipping rates will be. The good news is that cost/mile starts to drop for long cross-country runs, making long-distance shipping a pretty solid value.
Seasonality: it’s a given in the auto logistics business that things are cyclical and there are certain calendar periods where there’s going to be an uptick in the number of shipping orders that we handle. During those periods when more trucks are on the road helping customers with their needs, the scarcity of available drivers will mean higher shipping rates until things slow down again.
Desired shipping method: we offer a few different shipping methods for various kinds of vehicles, various budgets and differing expectations from customers. All those shipping methods offer different levels of protection and security for vehicles, and they all come in at different price points.

The actual system for getting a vehicle from point A to point B couldn't be simpler, no matter how far apart those two points might be:
Use the Quote Calculator to enter your information and get a reliable quote for the shipping services you need. Once you’ve confirmed the quote, your order will be booked and put into the system, but your account won’t be charged until we can locate a transport driver to assign your order to.
You give us your preferred timeframe for pickup and we’ll dispatch a transport driver who will arrive curbside at your location then to load and secure your vehicle for the road. At the time of pickup, you and the driver will both perform an inspection of the vehicle for the driver’s Bill of Lading documentation.
At the estimated time and date, your transport driver will arrive curbside at the destination to unload your vehicle, and you can take possession of it again. You will both perform a post-trip inspection at this time and you’ll be asked to sign the BOL. If you owe any balance from discount shipping arrangements, you can pay the outstanding amount directly to the driver with cash, cashier’s check, money order or major credit card.
Understanding Costs for Vehicle Shipping from Georgia to Colorado
Timeframe for Transporting a Vehicle from Georgia to Colorado
How long can you expect it to take to get a vehicle from Georgia to Colorado? Let’s consider the fact that our guidelines for transport drivers note that a delivery that involves 200 or 300 miles on the highway should take a single day to complete. On the other hand, if the driver has to travel 2000 miles, that should be a 7 to 9 day turnaround. In light of that, let’s look at a few Georgia to Colorado routes and the estimated time it could take to complete them:
Considering all the ways that a driver can be slowed down and the delivery schedule can be disrupted once the truck is en route, delivery times will always be estimates and not guarantees. It’s possible that a driver can actually beat those ETAs and show up early, or the truck can be slowed down by construction, road conditions, detours, bad weather, heavy traffic or any number of things. If it does look like your delivery is going to be late, you'll be notified by the support team at Axis and we’ll keep you apprised of the new ETA for your vehicle.
| FROM | TO | MILES | DELIVERY TIME |
|---|---|---|---|
| Atlanta | Denver | 1404 miles | 5 to 6 days |
| Savannah | Boulder | 1670 miles | 5 to 6 days |
| Macon | Colorado Springs | 1470 miles | 5 to 6 days |
| Albany | Greeley | 1614 miles | 5 to 6 days |
