West Coast.
Los Angeles, Phoenix, and Las Vegas connect the Southwest and Pacific coast to the rest of the country — long cross-country hauls, snowbird routes, and military PCS lanes.
West Coast routes
Every lane in this corridor — each a live page with pricing and transit time. Most run in both directions.
Shipping to and from the West
The West Coast corridor covers the longest hauls in the network: Los Angeles, Phoenix and Las Vegas connected to Florida, the Southeast, Chicago and the Northeast, plus Denver and Seattle lanes into Florida. Shipping a car across the country takes some planning, and these lanes are where it pays off most.
The lanes in this corridor
- Southern California and the Southwest: Los Angeles, Phoenix and Las Vegas, including the short runs between them.
- West to Florida and the Southeast: Los Angeles, Phoenix and Las Vegas to and from Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, Tampa, Gainesville, Atlanta and Nashville.
- West to the North: Los Angeles to and from Chicago, New York and Boston.
- Mountain and Northwest: Denver to and from Miami and Nashville, and Seattle to and from Miami.
What to expect on a cross-country haul
Long lanes mean the carrier is planning a multi-day run and usually loading several cars along the way, so pickup windows can be wider than on short routes. Transit is measured in days, and drivers must follow federal hours-of-service limits. Each route page shows the typical range for that lane.
Seasonal factors
Summer heat in the desert Southwest is hard on trucks and drivers, and winter weather can close mountain passes on northern routes to Denver and Seattle. Both can move schedules by a day or more. Snowbird traffic also runs between the Northeast and Midwest and Arizona and Southern California in fall and spring.
Choosing a service
For a long trip, think about enclosed transport if the car is a classic, an exotic or freshly painted. For everything else, open transport is the standard. Military families moving between bases out West can start on our military and student page.

Common questions
Should I ship or drive cross-country? Shipping saves several days of driving, hotel stays and wear on the car. Compare your quote with what the drive would really cost.
