Step 1 of 3 - Destination

Welcome to 2 J’s Auto Transport, a family-owned auto transport broker with 13+ years of experience moving vehicles in and out of New Mexico. We specialize in open carrier shipping, enclosed auto transport, RV transportation, heavy hauling, and shipping of operable and inoperable vehicles across all 50 states. New Mexico’s auto transport routes run along two major interstates: I-40 cuts east-west through Albuquerque along the old Route 66 corridor, and I-25 handles the north-south spine from Colorado through Albuquerque to El Paso.

Auto transport shouldn’t 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 New Mexico shipments, that often means coordinating pickups in remote desert communities far from the interstate, managing military vehicle transport for Kirtland AFB and White Sands Missile Range, and planning around the high-altitude weather that can affect mountain passes north of Santa Fe. We’ve been doing this since 2012, and our New Mexico experience shows up in the details.

We’re a federally licensed auto transport broker, bonded by the FMCSA and operating under USDOT regulations. Every carrier we dispatch in New Mexico carries FMCSA-required liability insurance, and as part of our carrier vetting standards, we require proof of cargo insurance as well, verified before booking. We understand New Mexico’s specific requirements: the state’s 30-day vehicle registration window for new residents, New Mexico’s motor vehicle excise tax of 4%, and the absence of statewide emissions testing in most areas outside of Bernalillo County. Whether your vehicle is in Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Roswell, or a small desert community, we handle the logistics correctly.

Across more than a decade of New Mexico auto transport work, we’ve 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’ve coordinated thousands of vehicle shipments in and out of New Mexico, from UNM and NMSU students moving home for the summer, to military families stationed at Kirtland AFB and White Sands, to Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta visitors shipping vehicles, to families relocating across the Southwest.

New Mexico Seasonal Shipping: Desert and Mountain Factors

Winter (December–February): New Mexico’s desert lowlands see mild winters, but mountain passes north of Santa Fe (including the Sangre de Cristo range) can experience significant snow and ice. I-25 north of Albuquerque may face delays during storms. Generally still a good shipping window for the southern and central parts of the state.
 
Spring (March–May): High desert wind season, New Mexico’s spring winds can create dust storms, particularly in the east (Roswell, Clovis, Hobbs area) and reduce visibility. Carriers may face brief delays during peak wind events.
 
Summer (June–August): Monsoon season begins in July. Afternoon thunderstorms are common statewide and can affect scheduling, though they’re typically brief. Heat in the southern desert can exceed 105°F.
 
Fall (September–November): The best shipping window for New Mexico, clear weather, mild temperatures, and minimal weather disruptions. October is Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta month, which drives significant visitor traffic and can affect metro Albuquerque pickup logistics.

New Mexico Vehicle Regulations

New Mexico has specific vehicle regulations that affect timing and cost. We’re not lawyers, confirm with the New Mexico MVD but here’s the overview.
 
  • Registration timeline: New residents have 30 days to register.
  • Motor vehicle excise tax: New Mexico charges 4% on vehicle purchases.
  • Emissions testing: Required only in Bernalillo County (Albuquerque metro). No statewide testing.
  • Plates during transport: Not required, we ship vehicles with no plates, expired plates, or out-of-state plates.

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.

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.
