Razorback Auto Transport is headquartered in Little Rock and has been an Arkansas-based, Arkansas-operated auto transport company since 2009. We aren't a national broker that bought a domain with "Arkansas" in it. Our dispatch team works out of central Arkansas. Our carriers know the I-40, I-30, I-49, I-530, I-555, and US-65 corridors better than any out-of-state competitor because they live on them. And when something needs attention on a shipment — a delayed pickup, a delivery question, an insurance certificate request — you reach a person in Arkansas who can act on it immediately.
The auto transport industry is heavily fragmented. There are thousands of brokers and tens of thousands of carriers nationally, and quality varies enormously. A national broker handling an Arkansas shipment is essentially posting your load to a national load board and hoping a carrier picks it up — often at a rate so low no reputable carrier will touch it, which is why so many customers of national brokers report week-long delays, last-minute cancellations, or a sudden "we need an additional $300" call once the load is already a problem. Razorback runs differently. We work directly with our pre-vetted carrier network, know the actual rates carriers will accept on every Arkansas lane, and price accordingly from the first quote.
Auto transport from anywhere in Arkansas follows the same five-step process, whether you're shipping a sedan from Little Rock to Dallas or a classic truck from Bella Vista to a buyer in Florida.
Use our instant online quote form or call (866) 605-0281. You'll need your pickup ZIP, delivery ZIP, vehicle year/make/model, vehicle condition (running or non-running), and your preferred pickup window. The quote you see is the all-in price — no hidden fuel surcharges, no fees added later. Quotes are typically valid for 7 days; rates can shift with carrier availability and seasonal demand.
Lock in your quote by confirming the booking. Critically, no deposit is collected at this stage. You pay nothing until we've assigned a specific FMCSA-licensed carrier to your shipment, given you the carrier's name and and confirmed dispatch. If we can't find a carrier at the quoted rate, you can cancel without any cost.
Our dispatch team works your shipment immediately. Standard dispatch on Arkansas shipments is typically 2-5 days; expedited service can dispatch a carrier within 24-48 hours for tight deadlines. You'll receive a confirmation with carrier details, driver contact, and a pickup window once a carrier is assigned.
Your assigned carrier driver will call 1-24 hours before pickup, then again about an hour out. On arrival, the driver does a documented pre-loading walk-around inspection with you — every visible scratch, ding, or condition is noted on a Bill of Lading (BOL). You walk around the vehicle together and both sign. Take your own time-stamped photos of every angle as additional documentation. Then the driver loads, secures with industrial straps, and departs.
At the destination, the same process happens in reverse. The driver does a post-transport walk-around with you (or your designated recipient), you compare condition to the BOL, and if everything matches, you sign for delivery and pay the carrier balance. If any damage occurred in transit, the BOL is your documentation for an insurance claim against the carrier's $1M cargo policy.
Arkansas auto transport rates depend on five main factors: distance, vehicle size, service level (open vs. enclosed), season, and pickup flexibility. Here's a general guide for standard sedans on open transport from Arkansas:
| From Arkansas To | Distance Range | Transit | Avg. Open Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Memphis, TN / Nashville, TN | 140–340 mi | 1–2 days | $400–$725 |
| Dallas / Houston, TX | 180–500 mi | 1–4 days | $425–$875 |
| St. Louis, MO / Kansas City, MO | 220–400 mi | 1–3 days | $475–$800 |
| Atlanta, GA / Nashville, TN | 340–650 mi | 2–4 days | $575–$1,050 |
| Chicago, IL / Indianapolis, IN | 540–700 mi | 2–4 days | $725–$1,075 |
| Florida (Tampa, Orlando, Naples) | 950–1,250 mi | 3–6 days | $950–$1,475 |
| Phoenix, AZ | 1,160–1,440 mi | 4–7 days | $1,100–$1,550 |
| Denver, CO / Salt Lake City, UT | 870–1,300 mi | 3–6 days | $925–$1,400 |
| Los Angeles / San Francisco, CA | 1,560–1,800 mi | 5–8 days | $1,250–$1,750 |
| Seattle, WA / Portland, OR | 2,100–2,300 mi | 6–9 days | $1,400–$1,850 |
| New York / New England | 1,200–1,600 mi | 4–7 days | $1,150–$1,650 |

Our carrier network handles every vehicle category from compact sedans to oversized RVs:
The case for picking a local Arkansas auto transport company over a national broker comes down to four factors that consistently affect your shipping experience:
National brokers work nationally — which sounds like a benefit until you realize it means they have no special insight into Arkansas carrier flows. They post your load to the same national load board everyone else uses and hope. Our dispatch team works with our pre-vetted Arkansas carrier network and knows which carriers run weekly I-40 routes (Memphis→Little Rock→Oklahoma City), which run the I-30 corridor (Texarkana→Little Rock→Memphis), which handle the I-49 NWA loop, and which specialize in the longer cross-country lanes out of Arkansas. That knowledge translates directly into faster pickups and more reliable scheduling.
Some of the lowest auto transport quotes you'll find online are deliberately set below what carriers will actually accept. The broker collects your deposit, posts the load, no carrier takes it, and a week later you get a call: "we couldn't find a carrier at that price, we'll need another $300 to get this booked." We don't do this. Our quotes are based on real carrier rates on real Arkansas lanes. The price you see is the price you pay.
This is the single biggest red flag in the auto transport industry. Brokers that collect non-refundable deposits before assigning a carrier are taking your money before they've actually done anything. Razorback collects nothing until we've assigned a specific carrier. You can cancel at no cost up to that point.
When something needs attention — a carrier running behind schedule, a question about your shipment status, an insurance certificate request, a billing question — you reach a person in Arkansas who can pull up your file, see the carrier's most recent check-in, and give you a real answer in minutes. Not a routed call center reading from a script.
Relocations are our largest single shipment category. Arkansas attracts inbound moves heavily through the Walmart corporate ecosystem (Bentonville/Rogers), the Tyson Foods network (Springdale), and a steady stream of new residents drawn to Arkansas's lower cost of living. Outbound moves are common in the opposite direction — Arkansas families relocating for jobs in Texas, the Southeast, or the West Coast. Both directions are part of our standard daily volume.
Arkansas has three significant military and federal installations that drive regular auto transport volume: Little Rock Air Force Base (LRAFB) in Jacksonville, the Pine Bluff Arsenal in Jefferson County, and the Red River Army Depot (RRAD) just across the state line from Texarkana in Hooks, TX. Military discounts apply on all PCS moves and second-vehicle shipments. Military shipping details.
Arkansas has substantial student auto transport volume at the University of Arkansas (Fayetteville), University of Central Arkansas (Conway), Arkansas State University (Jonesboro), University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff (UAPB), Hendrix College (Conway), Central Baptist College (Conway), and several smaller schools. August move-in and May departure are peak volume periods — book 3-4 weeks ahead during these windows. College student shipping.
Arkansas has one of the strongest snowbird auto transport markets in the Mid-South, anchored by the retirement communities at Hot Springs Village (the largest gated community in America by area) and Bella Vista (originally founded as a planned retirement community). October-November southbound moves and April-May northbound moves are peak periods. Round-trip booking saves up to 10%. Snowbird transport.
Arkansas dealers, businesses, and government agencies use us for multi-vehicle shipments. For 4+ vehicles we can often dispatch dedicated multi-car carriers with volume pricing.
Rates depend on the route, vehicle, season, and service level. Short routes from Arkansas to Texas or Memphis typically run $400-$725 for open transport on a standard sedan. Mid-distance routes to Chicago, Atlanta, or Florida average $700-$1,275. Cross-country shipments to California or the Pacific Northwest average $1,250-$1,750. Enclosed transport adds 40-60%. See our detailed cost guide or get an exact instant quote.
Transit times average 1-3 days for nearby states (Texas, Tennessee, Missouri, Louisiana), 3-5 days for the Midwest and Southeast, 5-8 days for the West Coast, and 6-10 days for Alaska or Hawaii via specialized partner carriers. Standard dispatch from any Arkansas city is 2-5 days from booking; expedited dispatch within 24-48 hours.
We directly serve 17 cities — every Arkansas city with a population over 20,000. That includes Little Rock, North Little Rock, Jacksonville, Sherwood, Fayetteville, Springdale, Rogers, Bentonville, Fort Smith, Jonesboro, Conway, Pine Bluff, Hot Springs, Benton, Bella Vista, Paragould, and Texarkana. We also service all smaller Arkansas cities and rural areas — pickup from any Arkansas address is available.
No. Zero deposit collected until we've assigned a specific FMCSA-licensed carrier to your shipment. If we can't find a carrier at the quoted rate, you can cancel at no cost.
Yes — FMCSA-registered with and , fully bonded, with $1 million in cargo insurance carried by every dispatched carrier plus state-mandated auto liability. Verify our active credentials at the FMCSA SAFER system.
Open multi-car transport with flexible pickup dates. Open transport costs 40-60% less than enclosed. Flexible pickup windows (3-7 day range rather than a specific date) save another 5-15% by allowing carriers to optimize their loads. Booking 2-4 weeks ahead also reduces cost compared to last-minute shipments.
Yes for the contiguous 48 states with standard service. Alaska and Hawaii are available through specialized partner carriers with additional transit time and cost — these routes use port-based shipping via Tacoma, Seattle, or Long Beach for the ocean leg.
Every legitimate auto transport carrier is registered with the FMCSA and has an active federal motor carrier authority you can verify at safer.fmcsa.dot.gov. We provide the assigned carrier's full credentials with every shipment dispatch confirmation so you can verify independently before pickup.
