In these next few sections we’re going to talk about what Axis Auto Transport can offer when you need to get a vehicle from point A to point B, we’ll talk about how the shipping process works, we’ll show you how to set up your own shipping order to your specs and we’ll go through some of the factors that shape shipping costs and determine rate calculations.

What to Expect from New York to Pennsylvania Vehicle Shipping with Axis Auto Logistics
Car transport from New York to Pennsylvania doesn’t sound that tough, at least not on the surface. But then you think about some of those destinations, some of the routes you’d have to cover to get there and the fact that you’d very likely have to negotiate city traffic or at least Interstate traffic near a city and it looks a little different. It’d be challenging enough to make that drive in your own family SUV, so now think about handling that route in an 80’ double decker auto transport truck, loaded down with 10 customer vehicles that you’ve been entrusted with. When you’re looking for a New York car shipping company, don’t just go with the one that offers the lowest rates, because too often that’s going to mean a company that’s skipping over some things and cutting corners on performance.

Elements That Determine Your Auto Transport Expenses
These are some of the considerations that come into play when determining shipping costs:
Distance: this is always going to be the most important factor. If you’re taking a trip by plane or shipping freight, the more miles that anything has to be transported, the more it’ll cost. That’s why it costs less auto transport from one city to another, and not to or from a rural area that’s far off the main Interstate route. The good news is that long-distance auto transport looks better as longer distances are involved and cost/mile rates start to drop.
Vehicle year/make/model: dimensions and weight of cargo are also big factors, as it affects wear and tear on the transport truck (and burns more fuel), and the space taken up on a trailer that could be allotted to other cargo.
Vehicle running condition: why is this one of the details needed by the Quote Calculator? We do ship vehicles that can’t start, run, steer and stop on their own power, but it means special equipment and procedures on the part of the transport driver, and not all transport trailers are set up for transporting inoperable vehicles.
Preferred shipping method: Axis Auto Transport offers a few different options for shipping, all with different levels of security and protection for the vehicle. Those shipping services may not be as easily available in our driver pool, and will come in at different spots on the price scale.
Seasonality and preferred timeframe for shipping: in the auto logistics business, there are periods when the shipping volume picks up. When more drivers are busy on the road with customer orders, there won’t be as many drivers to handle orders that are coming in and rates will spike until things slow down again.
The Process of Vehicle Transportation Between New York and Pennsylvania
The steps involved in getting your order booked and in the system couldn’t be easier or more simple:
Use the Quote Calculator to find out what you can expect to pay. Once you confirm the quote, it’ll be put into the system and your order will be booked. Your account will never be charged until we locate a transport driver and it can be worked into the driver’s route.
You give us your preferred time and date for pickup, and our dispatch department will route things so the transport driver will be there, curbside, at your address to load and secure your vehicle for the road. At the time of pickup, you and the driver will perform separate inspections of the vehicle for the Bill of Lading document. For an accurate record of your car’s appearance and condition, it’s suggested that you take photos.
We give you our best estimate for delivery time and date, and the driver will get to your destination in that window of time. Before you take possession of the car again, you and the driver will each do a post-trip inspection, after which you will be asked to sign the Bill of Lading and confirm.

Timeframe for Transporting a Vehicle from New York to Pennsylvania
Anytime you’re talking about estimates for shipping time, bear in mind that these are estimates due to the number of things that can delay a delivery once it’s en route:
Our performance guidelines note that if a delivery driver has to cover 200-300 miles to complete a run, that should be a single day delivery.. When 2000 miles or more are involved, that could take 7 to 9 days, and then there would be a whole menu of shorter times for shorter distances.
Bad weather, road conditions, detours, traffic and construction can all disrupt a delivery schedule. If it does look like your order has been slowed down, the team at Axis will contact you, update you on the situation, give you a new ETA and keep you apprised of the driver’s progress.
| FROM | TO | MILES | DELIVERY TIME |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pittsburgh | New York City | 371 miles | 1 to 2 days |
| Philadelphia | Albany | 232 miles | 1 day |
| Allentown | Rochester | 291 miles | 1 day |
| Scranton | Syracuse | 131 miles | 1 day |

Expert Advice for Efficient Vehicle Shipping in New York and Pennsylvania
We want you to have a seamless shipping experience, and these are a few steps you can take to get your car ready for the road:
Shipping a car with less than ¼ tank of fuel cuts curb weight and lowers shipping costs.
Please disable the car alarm and remove any toll tags or parking tags.
Please remove any detachable accessories: bike racks, rooftop carriers, lights, etc.
You can ship up to 100 lbs of personal items, as long as they’re secured and in the trunk or cargo area.
Go over your car for fluid leaks: motor oil, coolant, transmission, brake or power steering fluid. Transport drivers can refuse to load a vehicle with fluid leaks.
Please be sure all tires are inflated, the battery is fully charged and all lights work.
Remember that for low ground clearance vehicles like lowriders, exotics and sports cars, enclosed transport is the recommended service.
