Welcome to 2 J’s Auto Transport, one of the leading auto transport companies serving Dover. We offer reliable, affordable nationwide auto transportation service. With years of experience, we specialize in R.V. transportation, heavy hauling, open carrier shipping, enclosed auto transport, and shipping of both operable and inoperable vehicles.

Auto transport should not be complicated. From the first quote through final delivery, we handle every part of the process: dispatching carriers, coordinating pickup and drop-off, managing documentation, and providing direct support whenever you have a question. For Dover shipments, that often means coordinating staging on US-13 or DE-1 since Dover has no direct interstate access, planning around Dover International Speedway race weekends, and handling Dover Air Force Base PCS moves that require advance coordination around military reporting dates.

Across more than a decade of work, we have built our reputation on three things: clear quotes with no hidden fees, on-time pickup and delivery, and direct human support whenever you need it. We have coordinated vehicle shipments in and out of Dover for government employees at the state capital, military families at Dover AFB, Delaware State University students, and families making the summer move to and from the Delaware Beaches.

If you are shipping your car for the first time to or from Dover, here is a complete guide on how to transport a car.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Joyce was amazing to work with from start to finish . My daughter was moving alone from Las Vegas to Chicago and the dates were constantly fluctuating. Joyce was so patient with me , understanding and empathetic to our needs . She made us feel like family . We used Sherpa years ago , and her customer service and communication was way beyond Sherpas ( and they gave excellent service as well, but Joyce blew them out of the water ) The price was competitive with the other carriers , but it really was her personality and customer service that sealed the deal . I would highly recommend using 2 Js auto transport over any of the more popular auto transporters. I spoke to atleast 5 other carriers before choosing 2js transport ( they were highly recommended by my brother , he used in past to get a car from California to Florida ) and I’m so glad we decided to use them . It was seamless and again the open line of communication was exceptional ! I can’t say enough great things about the whole process other than I would pick them hands down over any other carrier !

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Joyce and John are such a pleasure to work with. There are a lot of scams in this industry and thankfully this is a family owned company where they actually take care of you like you’re part of their own family. I would highly recommend using their services. Vehicle was picked up and delivered when they said it was, and it was delivered in perfect condition.

Shipping From Dover, Delaware: What You Need to Know

Dover is the state capital of Delaware and the county seat of Kent County. It is a mid-size city of around 37,000 people whose economy revolves around state government, Dover Air Force Base, and the Dover International Speedway. Its Mid-Atlantic position puts it within two hours of Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington DC, and the New Jersey coast, making it a busy regional corridor for auto transport despite its modest size.

Geography and Traffic Reality

Unlike most state capitals, Dover is not served directly by an Interstate highway. The two primary routes are:

US-13 (DuPont Highway): The main north-south commercial corridor running through Dover. Connects north toward Wilmington and south toward Maryland. This is the primary carrier route through the city for most inbound and outbound shipments.

Delaware Route 1: Runs north from Dover toward the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal area and south toward the Delaware Beaches (Rehoboth Beach, Lewes, Dewey Beach, Bethany Beach). DE-1 is a toll road in its northern sections. For beach community pickups, DE-1 is the primary carrier approach.

The nearest major interstate access is I-95 near Wilmington, approximately 45 miles north via US-13 or DE-1. Carriers coming from the Philadelphia and New York direction typically access Dover from I-95 south to US-13 south. This means Dover is a slightly longer reach for carriers than cities directly on an interstate, which is reflected in scheduling lead times.

Traffic in Dover is generally moderate. Congestion increases near US-13 commercial corridors during weekday peak hours and significantly around Dover International Speedway during NASCAR race weekends (spring and fall).

Common Pickup and Delivery Areas

Downtown Dover / Capitol Square area: The historic downtown core around the Delaware State Capitol building has moderate carrier access on wide commercial streets (Loockerman Street, State Street). Some narrower historic residential blocks require a nearby staging point. Allow 24 hours extra lead time for downtown addresses.

US-13 (DuPont Highway) corridor: The most carrier-friendly zone in the city. Wide commercial road with abundant parking, easy truck navigation, and continuous access running north-south through Dover. Most carriers use US-13 as their preferred pickup and delivery corridor.

West Dover / Kent County suburban areas: Good carrier access via US-13 and Silver Lake Road. Wide suburban streets throughout.

North Dover / Smyrna Road corridor: US-13 north. Residential and commercial mix with good carrier access.

Camden / Camden-Wyoming: 5 miles south of Dover on US-13. Wide suburban streets, easy carrier access. Frequently served within the same Dover pickup window.

Cheswold: Small community north of Dover. US-13 access, manageable for carriers.

Dover Air Force Base (south of downtown): Carriers staging near the base typically use the US-13 South corridor near the base perimeter roads. On-post delivery requires advance coordination for gate access, most carriers stage at nearby commercial areas on US-13 South and coordinate with the vehicle owner from there.

Delaware Beaches (Rehoboth Beach, Lewes, Dewey Beach, Bethany Beach): 45-60 miles southeast of Dover on DE-1. Seasonal demand peaks in May-June (summer season start) and September (season end). Accessible for carriers via DE-1. Allow 24-48 hours extra lead time versus Dover given the DE-1 beach corridor distance.

Typical Shipping Costs From Dover

Dover’s Mid-Atlantic position gives it competitive pricing on Northeast Corridor routes. Philadelphia and Baltimore are within 100 miles, putting Dover within reach of excellent carrier frequency.

Route	Distance	Est. Delivery Time	Est. Shipping Cost
Dover to Philadelphia, PA	95 mi	Same day	$250–$375
Dover to Baltimore, MD	100 mi	Same day	$250–$375
Dover to Washington, DC	130 mi	1 day	$275–$400
Dover to New York City, NY	134 mi	1 day	$275–$425
Dover to Boston, MA	330 mi	1–2 days	$400–$575
Dover to Charlotte, NC	440 mi	2–3 days	$475–$675
Dover to Atlanta, GA	730 mi	2–4 days	$600–$850
Dover to Miami, FL	1,200 mi	3–5 days	$825–$1,100
Dover to Chicago, IL	790 mi	3–4 days	$625–$875
Dover to Dallas, TX	1,450 mi	4–6 days	$875–$1,175
Dover to Los Angeles, CA	2,750 mi	7–9 days	$1,100–$1,500

Enclosed transport runs 30-40% higher.

Dover-Specific Transport Considerations

Dover Air Force Base (the most important demand driver in the city): Dover Air Force Base, located just south of downtown, is home to the 436th Airlift Wing and operates the C-5M Super Galaxy, one of the largest military aircraft in the world. Dover AFB is also the US military’s primary East Coast arrival point for fallen service members (the Air Force Mortuary Affairs Operations center), which gives the base a unique and significant role in the national military logistics network.

For auto transport, Dover AFB generates consistent PCS military vehicle shipping demand year-round. Military families relocating to and from Dover AFB commonly ship vehicles to and from installations across the Southeast, Midwest, and Pacific region. On-post carrier access requires coordination with gate procedures, carriers typically stage on US-13 South near the base perimeter. Provide your report date when booking and we will build a realistic pickup window around your orders.

Dover International Speedway (The Monster Mile): Dover Motor Speedway hosts two major NASCAR Cup Series race weekends each year (spring and fall). These events draw 100,000+ spectators to a city of 37,000, creating significant road congestion on US-13 and the downtown approaches. If your shipment falls near a race weekend, we schedule pickup at least two days before or after the event to avoid the traffic surge.

Delaware Beaches (summer seasonal demand): DE-1 connects Dover south to Rehoboth Beach, Lewes, Dewey Beach, and Bethany Beach, 45-60 miles away. These communities see strong seasonal vehicle shipping demand as second-home owners and summer residents ship vehicles in for Memorial Day and out after Labor Day. We serve the beach corridor as an extension of the Dover regional market. Book 2-3 weeks ahead for May-June beach pickups.

Delaware State University: Delaware State University (DSU), an HBCU in Dover, generates seasonal vehicle shipping demand around May graduation and August move-in. Good US-13 access near campus. Book 2-3 weeks ahead during these windows.

Delaware vehicle regulations: Delaware does not have a state income tax and does not charge a traditional vehicle sales tax. Instead, Delaware charges a 4.25% document fee (title fee) on vehicle purchases. Delaware also does not require periodic vehicle emissions testing statewide. New residents must register within 60 days of establishing residency. Confirm current details with the Delaware DMV.

Why Choose Us

We pride ourselves on providing exceptional service and transparency in an industry where both are often hard to come by. As a family-owned company founded in 2012 by John and Joyce, we offer 24/7 customer support, on-time pickup through a vetted carrier network, real-time shipment tracking, and transparent pricing with no hidden fees. Our carriers know Dover: the US-13 staging reality for a city without direct interstate access, the Dover AFB PCS coordination requirements, the Speedway race weekends that affect US-13 congestion in spring and fall, the Delaware Beach seasonal demand on DE-1, and the state capital government employee relocation patterns. Dover’s position in the Mid-Atlantic corridor keeps carrier availability solid, particularly on the Philadelphia-Baltimore-Washington axis.

Broker vs Carrier

2 J’s Auto Transport is a federally licensed auto transport broker (MC# 799000, USDOT# 02349019). We do not own the trucks or employ the drivers. We dispatch from a vetted network of independent FMCSA-compliant carriers across the U.S. For Dover, this means matching your vehicle with a carrier already running the Northeast Corridor between Philadelphia and Baltimore, finding one familiar with Dover AFB gate coordination for PCS moves, or sourcing a carrier for the DE-1 beach corridor during summer season. Every carrier carries active cargo insurance, verified before each job.

Mark Edwards

I buy and sell construction equipment all over the US and always go to 2 J’s for long distance transport. They are able to find excellent rates on partial loads within a day or two. The drivers they send are always very professional and helpful. I’ve received quotes from other dispatchers and sometimes drivers offer their services directly, but they can rarely offer compete with 2 J’s pricing or timely service.

Sidharth S

You guys were awesome. Picked up on time, dropped off on time as promised. I was returning customer. I had used their service a year and a half back. They were good at that time and this time too they were fantastic. I was fortunate to have got an enclosed truck for the price of open. Seems they had a truck passing on my dates and they gladly put me there. Thank you, John. Thank you, Joyce. I would highly recommend their services.
