Transport FROM(Required)

Transport TO(Required)

2 J’s Auto Transport is a federally licensed auto transport broker with 13+ years of experience coordinating vehicle shipments across all 50 states, including Kansas’s major metro markets and its expansive rural Great Plains interior.

Kansas sits at the geographic center of the continental United States, and its highway network reflects that. I-70 runs east-west the full width of the state, from the Missouri border at Kansas City through Topeka, Salina, Hays, and Colby to the Colorado line and is one of the most heavily traveled freight corridors in the country. I-35 runs north-south through the eastern third of the state from Kansas City south through Emporia and Wichita into Oklahoma. I-135 connects Wichita north to Salina where it meets I-70. I-470 loops the south side of Topeka. These four corridors carry the large majority of Kansas carrier traffic and keep availability and pricing competitive for most Kansas shipments.

Western Kansas is a different story. West of Salina and Hays, the High Plains stretch for hundreds of miles with few interstate exits and limited carrier density. Shipments to and from communities in western Kansas (Dodge City, Liberal, Garden City, Colby) can require extra lead time and sometimes a meeting point at a more accessible highway junction.

 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 To and From Kansas: What You Should Know

Road Network and Carrier Routes

I-70 (primary east-west corridor): Kansas City metro → Topeka → Salina → Hays → Colby → Colorado border. One of the country’s most important cross-country freight routes. Strong carrier density from Kansas City to Salina; thinner west of Hays.

I-35 (north-south, eastern Kansas): Kansas City metro → Emporia → Wichita → Arkansas City → Oklahoma border. The main corridor for Kansas City-to-Wichita and Kansas-to-Texas shipments. High carrier traffic year-round.

I-135 (Wichita-to-Salina connector): Runs north from Wichita to Salina, where it merges with I-70. Keeps Wichita well-connected to the national east-west corridor.

I-470 (Topeka bypass): Southern Topeka loop connecting I-70 east and west of the city.

Western Kansas (US-83, US-283, US-54): West of Salina and Hays, the interstate system thins out considerably. US-83 runs north-south through the western third of the state (Colby to Liberal). US-54 runs east-west through Wichita to Liberal and into New Mexico. US-283 runs north-south through southwest Kansas. Carrier density in this zone is significantly lower than eastern Kansas, build in extra lead time for western Kansas pickups.

Pickup and Delivery by Area

Kansas City Metro, Kansas Side (Overland Park, Olathe, Lenexa, Shawnee, Leawood, Prairie Village): The Kansas side of the Kansas City metro is one of the highest-growth suburban markets in the Midwest. I-35 and I-70 access. Johnson County (Overland Park, Olathe, Lenexa) is one of the wealthiest counties in the region and generates strong corporate relocation demand. Carrier availability is excellent given the metro’s position at the junction of two major interstates.

Wichita: (including Derby, Andover, Haysville, Maize, Park City) Kansas’s largest city and one of the most important aviation and aerospace manufacturing centers in the world. Boeing, Spirit AeroSystems, Cessna/Textron Aviation, Beechcraft/Hawker, and Learjet all have major operations in Wichita. This drives significant corporate relocation demand, engineers, executives, and skilled workers relocating to and from the Pacific Northwest, Texas, and the Southeast. I-35 and I-135 access. Strong carrier availability.

Topeka: State capital. I-70 and I-470 access. Moderate carrier availability. Washburn University generates some seasonal vehicle shipping demand.

Lawrence: University of Kansas (KU). I-70 access, 35 miles east of Topeka. Strong seasonal shipping demand around August move-in and May graduation. Moderate carrier availability.

Manhattan / Junction City: Kansas State University (KSU) in Manhattan generates consistent university vehicle shipping demand. Fort Riley (one of the largest U.S. Army installations in the country, home to the 1st Infantry Division) is located between Manhattan and Junction City on I-70. Fort Riley generates steady PCS military vehicle shipping volume year-round. Good I-70 access.

Fort Leavenworth / Leavenworth: U.S. Army Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth. Generates consistent officer PCS relocation demand, often to and from major metro areas on the East and West coasts. US-73 and US-92 access north of Kansas City.

Salina I-70 and I-135 junction: the crossroads of Kansas’s two primary corridors. Significant trucking and logistics hub. Good carrier availability in both east-west and north-south directions.

Dodge City / Garden City / Liberal (Southwest Kansas): Agricultural and cattle processing hub. Limited carrier access, no direct interstate service. US-283, US-54, and US-56 access. Allow 48–72 hours additional lead time. Pickup meeting points at US highway junctions may be required.

Hays / Colby (Western Kansas): On I-70. These are the last well-served I-70 cities before the carrier network thins significantly. If your shipment is west of Hays on I-70, or off the interstate entirely in western Kansas, contact us before booking to discuss practical logistics.

Typical Shipping Cost Ranges from Kansas

Representative ranges for standard open transport from the Wichita area. Prices vary by origin (Kansas City metro vs. Wichita vs. western Kansas), season, and vehicle type.

Destination	Approx. Distance	Est. Cost

Dallas, TX	370 mi	$450–$650
Denver, CO	600 mi	$550–$750
St. Louis, MO	440 mi	$450–$650
Kansas City, MO	200 mi	$300–$450
Minneapolis, MN	690 mi	$600–$800
Chicago, IL	600 mi	$550–$750
Nashville, TN	750 mi	$650–$850
Atlanta, GA	1,000 mi	$750–$1,000
Phoenix, AZ	1,200 mi	$800–$1,050
Los Angeles, CA	1,550 mi	$900–$1,200
Houston, TX	650 mi	$600–$800
Miami, FL	1,600 mi	$950–$1,250
New York, NY	1,400 mi	$900–$1,150
Seattle, WA	1,900 mi	$1,000–$1,300

Enclosed transport runs approximately 30–40% higher.

Kansas-Specific Transport Considerations

Wichita aviation and aerospace sector
Wichita is known internationally as the Air Capital of the World. Boeing, Spirit AeroSystems, Cessna/Textron Aviation, Beechcraft/Hawker, and Learjet are all headquartered or have major manufacturing operations here. The result is a steady stream of corporate and engineering relocations, people moving to Wichita from Seattle, Dallas, Savannah, and Tucson, and moving out to those same cities when projects shift. If you’re relocating for an aviation sector job, you’re on a well-established corridor.

Fort Riley and Fort Leavenworth PCS moves
Fort Riley (near Junction City on I-70) is home to the 1st Infantry Division and one of the Army’s largest installations. Fort Leavenworth (north of Kansas City) hosts the Command and General Staff College. Both generate significant PCS vehicle shipping demand year-round, often to and from major East and West Coast metros, Europe-to-CONUS returns, and other large Army posts. We’re experienced with military relocation timelines and can coordinate accordingly.

University shipping (KU and KSU)
The University of Kansas (Lawrence) and Kansas State University (Manhattan) both generate predictable seasonal vehicle shipping demand around August move-in and May graduation. Lawrence is conveniently on I-70, making it one of the easier university pickups in the state. Manhattan is just off I-70 near Junction City, also accessible. Book 2–3 weeks ahead around academic transition windows.

Tornado Alley
Kansas is at the heart of Tornado Alley. The highest risk window is April through June, particularly in central and southern Kansas. Active severe weather can delay carriers on I-70 and I-35 and affect rural pickup scheduling. If you’re shipping in spring, build flexibility into your pickup window and we’ll monitor conditions on your route.

Western Kansas remoteness
West of Salina and Hays, carrier density drops significantly. The High Plains are vast, sparsely populated, and served by US highways rather than interstates. Communities like Dodge City, Liberal, Garden City, and Colby (at the end of I-70 in Kansas) may require extra lead time and occasionally a meeting point at a more accessible junction. If you’re in western Kansas, contact us before booking, we’ll give you an honest read on timing.

Severe heat
Kansas summers are hot. Western Kansas regularly hits 100°F+ in July and August, with low humidity and intense sun. While this doesn’t typically halt carrier operations, enclosed transport is worth considering for high-value vehicles to protect against heat exposure and UV.

Kansas vehicle regulations

Registration: New Kansas residents have 90 days to register their vehicle, one of the longest windows in the country.
Emissions testing: Kansas has no statewide emissions testing requirement.
Safety inspection: Kansas does not require periodic vehicle safety inspections.
Sales tax: Kansas charges 6.5% state sales tax on vehicle purchases. Local county and city taxes may apply on top, Wichita and Kansas City metro areas can push the effective rate higher.
Title: Out-of-state titles must be transferred to a Kansas title at your county treasurer’s office.

Popular Auto Transport Routes from Kansas

For inbound routes, Texas-to-Kansas and Florida-to-Kansas see the highest volume, driven by corporate relocations into the Wichita aerospace market and returning snowbirds.

Route	Approx. Distance	Typical Transit	Notes
Kansas → Texas (Dallas)	370 mi	2–3 days	Very high volume on I-35 south
Kansas → Florida	1,400 mi	4–6 days	Snowbird peak Oct–Dec outbound
Kansas → California	1,550 mi	5–7 days	I-70 to I-15/I-40
Kansas → Arizona	1,200 mi	4–6 days	Phoenix and Scottsdale popular destinations
Kansas → Missouri (Kansas City)	200 mi	1 day	High frequency, strong carrier availability
Kansas → Colorado (Denver)	600 mi	2–3 days	I-70 west corridor
Kansas → Oklahoma	160 mi	1–2 days	I-35 south, fast turnaround
Kansas → Illinois (Chicago)	600 mi	2–3 days	I-70 east
Kansas → Georgia (Atlanta)	1,000 mi	3–5 days	Growing corporate relocation route
Kansas → Nebraska (Omaha)	350 mi	1–2 days	I-29 or US-81 north
Kansas → Washington State	1,900 mi	6–8 days	Boeing/aerospace relocation route from Wichita
Kansas → New York	1,400 mi	4–6 days	East Coast corridor via I-70

Why Choose 2 J's Auto Transport for Kansas Shipments

2 J’s Auto Transport was founded in 2012 by John and Joyce with a straightforward goal: provide clear quotes, honest timelines, and direct support in an industry that’s often short on all three. For Kansas shipments, that means knowing the difference between a Wichita aerospace relocation on I-35 (high carrier availability, fast window) and a pickup from a farm in western Kansas near Liberal or Garden City (requires advance coordination and realistic timing). We handle Fort Riley and Fort Leavenworth PCS documentation, university pickup coordination for KU and KSU, and we’re upfront about tornado season weather windows that can affect spring shipping. Every carrier we dispatch carries active cargo insurance, which we verify before each job.

Every carrier we dispatch carries active cargo insurance, which we verify before each job.

I recently used 2 J’s Auto Transport to transport my car across the country, and I couldn’t be happier with the service! From the very beginning, the team was professional and responsive, answering all my questions and providing a detailed quote with no hidden fees.

The driver was friendly and handled everything with care. I highly recommend Joyce and John for anyone looking for reliable and efficient auto transport services.

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.

Frequently Ask Questions (FAQs)

Can I ship a car to or from Wichita?

Yes. Wichita is Kansas’s largest city and primary transport hub, with I-35 and I-135 access. Carrier availability is strong year-round, particularly on the I-35 corridor south toward Dallas and Oklahoma City and north toward Kansas City. If you’re relocating for work in the aviation or aerospace sector, you’re shipping on one of our well-traveled corridors.

Can you handle Fort Riley or Fort Leavenworth PCS moves?

Yes. We coordinate military PCS vehicle shipping from Fort Riley (near Junction City on I-70) and Fort Leavenworth (north of Kansas City) regularly. We’re familiar with military move documentation and can work with your PCS timeline. Contact us with your report date and we’ll work backward to confirm pickup windows.

Is my vehicle insured during transport?

Yes, your vehicle is insured during transport. All licensed auto transport carriers are required by law to carry liability and cargo insurance. However, coverage levels can vary by company, so it’s a good idea to ask for proof of insurance and review the policy details. For extra peace of mind, you can also check with your personal auto insurance provider to see if your vehicle is covered during shipping.

Can I ship a car to rural Kansas towns?

Yes. While major highways like I-70 and I-35 make access easier, carriers can also deliver to rural areas. In some cases, you may arrange a nearby meeting point if a large truck cannot access your street.

How does tornado season affect Kansas shipping?

The peak tornado risk window in Kansas is April through June, particularly in central and southern Kansas. Active severe weather can delay carriers on I-70 and I-35 and affect rural pickup scheduling. For spring shipments, we build flexibility into pickup windows and monitor weather on your specific route. Tornado activity rarely shuts down corridors for more than 24–48 hours.

Is 2 J's Auto Transport a carrier or a broker?

We’re a federally licensed auto transport broker (MC# 799000, USDOT# 02349019). We don’t own trucks or employ drivers, we dispatch from a vetted network of FMCSA-compliant carriers. Every carrier we use carries active cargo insurance, which we verify before each job.

Can I ship my car from Kansas to another state if I’m moving?

Yes, you can ship your car from Kansas to any other state. Auto transport carriers regularly provide nationwide service for moves, relocations, or college transport.

Do you offer auto transport service to all U.S. states and cities?

Yes, we provide auto shipping services across all 50 U.S. states and almost every U.S. city. Pricing may vary based on distance, shipping method, season, weather conditions, pickup and delivery locations, fuel costs, and whether the car is operable or not.

To make things even easier, we’ve also gathered some helpful tips and information that can guide you through the process and help you avoid common issues. Whether you’re shipping for the first time or you’ve done it before, this resource is here to make sure you’re prepared and confident whenever you’re ready to ship your vehicle.
