City-by-city shipping notes
Tennessee is long and narrow: Memphis to Johnson City is about 500 miles. Notes on the cities we ship to and from most:
Nashville
Middle Tennessee’s hub, where I-40, I-65 and I-24 meet. Busy downtown streets mean we often meet just outside the core.
Memphis
On the Mississippi River at the western tip of the state, on I-40 and I-55. A major freight crossroads.
Knoxville
East Tennessee on I-40 and I-75, the gateway to Florida and Georgia lanes. University of Tennessee move-ins fill August.
Chattanooga
On the Georgia line where I-24, I-59 and I-75 meet. Barely two hours from Atlanta.
Clarksville
Northwest of Nashville on I-24, right next to a large Army post. Many of our moves here are military.
Murfreesboro
One of the fastest-growing cities in the state, southeast of Nashville on I-24. Plenty of new-build neighborhoods.
Franklin
South of Nashville on I-65. Lots of corporate relocations and higher-end cars, so enclosed comes up often.
Johnson City
Tri-Cities in the far northeast corner, off I-26. Mountain roads can slow a carrier, so allow extra time.
Jackson
Halfway between Nashville and Memphis right on I-40, which makes it an easy pickup.
Smyrna
Just south of Nashville off I-24, home to a big auto plant. Easy to add to Middle Tennessee loads.

Three Regions, Three Kinds of Pickup
West Tennessee is flat and centered on Memphis, where carriers cross the Mississippi on I-40 and I-55. Middle Tennessee means Nashville and its fast-growing suburbs, the busiest part of the state for moves in and out. East Tennessee runs from Chattanooga to Knoxville and the Tri-Cities, with mountain roads that full-size carriers avoid. There, the driver usually meets you near the interstate.
Open or Enclosed in Tennessee?
Open transport is the everyday choice and the lower price. If your car is a classic, a collector piece or something you’d hate to see chipped, enclosed transport keeps it covered, which is worth considering for routes through winter weather on I-40 or the mountains.
Tennessee Questions
Is it hard to get a carrier into East Tennessee?
Not usually. Knoxville and Chattanooga sit right on I-75 and I-40. Smaller mountain towns can take a little longer to schedule, and in winter, snow and ice in the higher elevations can delay a pickup by a day or two.
I’m moving to Tennessee. What do I need to do with my car?
Tennessee asks new residents to register their vehicle within 30 days, through your county clerk’s office. Requirements can vary by county, so check with yours before you go.
Do you ship cars from Tennessee to Arizona?
Yes. Tennessee to Arizona is one of our regular lanes, mostly from Nashville and Memphis to the Phoenix area, and back.
How much does it cost to ship a car to or from Tennessee?
It depends on the distance, the vehicle, open or enclosed, and the season. A Chattanooga to Atlanta run costs a fraction of Nashville to Phoenix. Get an exact quote or call (424) 453-1800.
