Car Shipping from Minnesota to New York with Axis Auto Logistics
Even under the best circumstances, a drive from Minnesota to New York is a pretty big job.

Now imagine being a commercial trucker making that run and being entrusted with several customers’ vehicles to load or deliver along the way.

How Much does it Cost to Ship a Vehicle from and to New York?
What’s a realistic timeframe for getting a vehicle from Minnesota to New York? First, let’s keep in mind 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. At the other extreme, if the driver has to travel 2000 miles, that should be a 7 to 9 day turnaround. With those benchmarks, let’s look at a few Georgia to Colorado routes and a few rough estimates on turnaround times.

Once the truck is en route and the delivery has the green light, any number of things can interfere with the schedule and slow things down. That’s why delivery times will always be estimates and not guarantees. It’s possible that a driver can show up early and actually beat those ETAs, or things can be delayed by construction, road conditions, detours, bad weather, heavy traffic or any number of things (and of course drivers have to stay in compliance with DOT regs on hours of service). If it does look like your delivery has been delayed, you'll be notified by the support team at Axis and we’ll give you updates on the new ETA.

Elements That Determine Your Auto Transport Expenses
Here are a few of the considerations that have to be accounted for when calculating shipping rates:
Vehicle year/make/model: what would you think would have a higher shipping cost by truck: a 1200 lb golf cart, or a 12,000 lb industrial forklift? Of course the forklift; it takes up more space in the trailer, it costs more in fuel to haul it 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 do ship inoperable vehicles that can’t start, run, steer and stop under their own power, but it calls for special equipment and procedures as well as specialized, trained drivers. Not all transport trailers are equipped for non-running cars, and that will mean enhanced shipping costs.
Distance involved: cost/mile is the root of every shipping company’s cost formulations, and the more miles are involved, the higher the shipping rates will be. The good news is that cost/mile gets lower when more miles are involved, making long-distance shipping a pretty solid value.
Seasonality: it’s understood in the auto transport business that things are cyclical and seasonal. There will always be certain calendar periods where we see a spike in the volume of shipping orders we handle. During those periods when more of our drivers are tied up handling shipping orders, the scarcity of available drivers and trucks will mean higher shipping rates until things slow down again.
Desired shipping method: for flexibility and agility, we offer a few transport methods for various kinds of vehicles, various budgets and differing expectations from customers. All those transport services offer different levels of protection and security for vehicles, and shipping costs will reflect that

Use the Quote Calculator to put in your information and get a reliable quote for the shipping services you need. Once you’ve clicked “confirm”, your order will be booked and put into the system, but we won’t ever charge your account until we can locate a transport driver and your order has been assigned
Let us know your preferred timeframe for pickup and we’ll dispatch a transport driver who will arrive curbside at your location at that date and time to load and secure your vehicle for the road. Before he leaves you and the driver will each perform an inspection of the vehicle for the driver’s Bill of Lading documentation.
At the estimated time and date for delivery, your transport driver will arrive curbside at the destination to unload your vehicle, and it’ll be your time to receive it. You and the driver will each perform a post-trip inspection at this time and you’ll be asked to sign the BOL. If you owe any outstanding amount from discount shipping arrangements, you can settle it up directly to the driver with cash, cashier’s check, money order or major credit card.
