2 J’s Auto Transport is a federally licensed auto transport broker with 13+ years of experience, providing reliable and affordable vehicle shipping across Pennsylvania and nationwide. Whether you’re relocating to Philadelphia, shipping a vehicle from Pittsburgh, or moving a car to or from Harrisburg, Allentown, or Erie, we coordinate the process from quote to delivery.

Pennsylvania’s position in the Northeast corridor makes it one of the best-connected states for auto transport. The Pennsylvania Turnpike (I-76/I-276) runs east-west across the state connecting Pittsburgh to Philadelphia. I-95 runs along the eastern edge through Philadelphia, I-80 crosses the northern tier, and I-81 serves the central and northeastern regions. These major interstates carry heavy carrier traffic, which keeps pricing competitive and availability strong for most PA routes.

We’re a federally licensed auto transport broker (MC# 799000, USDOT# 02349019), bonded by the FMCSA and operating under USDOT regulations. Every carrier we dispatch carries active cargo insurance, which we verify before each job. We specialize in open carrier shipping, enclosed auto transport, classic and luxury car shipping, motorcycle transport, heavy haul, and RV/fifth wheel transport, matching your shipment with the right truck, on the right route, at the right time.

If you’re shipping your car for the first time to or from Pennsylvania, here’s a complete guide on how to transport a car to walk you through the process.

Shipping From Pennsylvania: What You Should Know

Road Network & Carrier Routes

Pennsylvania’s interstate system is one of the densest in the country, making it an excellent state for auto transport logistics. The Pennsylvania Turnpike (I-76 west of Philly, I-276 through the suburbs) is the primary east-west corridor connecting Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. I-80 provides a second east-west route across the northern tier. I-95 runs north-south along the Delaware River through Philadelphia, connecting to New Jersey and Delaware. I-81 serves the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre corridor and links to Harrisburg.

For carriers, Pennsylvania is a high-traffic state, the I-95 Northeast Corridor alone is one of the busiest freight lanes in the country. This means strong carrier availability and competitive pricing for most routes, particularly in the Philadelphia metro, Pittsburgh metro, and along the Turnpike corridor.

Common Pickup & Delivery Areas

Philadelphia metro: (including Camden NJ side, King of Prussia, Bucks/Montgomery/Delaware Counties) The highest-volume area in PA. Excellent carrier availability. Downtown Philly pickups may require a nearby open lot or wide street due to narrow row-house blocks and parking restrictions.

Pittsburgh metro: (including Cranberry Township, Ross, Robinson, Monroeville) Strong carrier traffic on I-76 and I-79. Hilly terrain downtown means some carriers prefer suburban meeting points.

Allentown/Bethlehem/Easton (Lehigh Valley): Growing metro with good I-78 access. Solid carrier availability for Northeast Corridor routes.

Harrisburg/Lancaster/York: Central PA hub. Strong access via I-76, I-83, and I-81. State capital area with consistent transport demand.

Scranton/Wilkes-Barre: Northeastern PA, served by I-81 and I-380. Good carrier access for north-south routes. East-west routes may take slightly longer.

Erie: Northwestern PA’s largest city. Connected via I-90 and I-79. More limited carrier frequency than the southern metros; allow 24-48 hours additional lead time.

State College / Penn State: Central PA college town. Seasonal spikes in May and August. Located off I-80 and US-322; not directly on a major interstate, so pickups may require a nearby meeting point.

Typical Shipping Costs From Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania’s Northeast position means short, affordable routes to neighboring states and moderate pricing for cross-country. Typical ranges for open transport of a standard sedan:

Pennsylvania → New York (NYC): $300–$500
Pennsylvania → New Jersey: $250–$400
Pennsylvania → Florida (Miami/Orlando): $750–$1,050
Pennsylvania → Ohio (Columbus/Cleveland): $400–$600
Pennsylvania → Illinois (Chicago): $600–$850
Pennsylvania → Texas (Dallas/Houston): $850–$1,150
Pennsylvania → California (Los Angeles): $1,100–$1,500
Pennsylvania → Georgia (Atlanta): $550–$800

Enclosed transport typically runs 30–40% higher. Exact pricing depends on vehicle size, route demand, season, and whether the vehicle is operable.

Pennsylvania-Specific Transport Considerations

The Pennsylvania Turnpike has toll costs that carriers factor into their quotes. Routes using the full length of the Turnpike (Pittsburgh to Philadelphia, ~300 miles) carry meaningful toll expenses, which is one reason PA-to-PA intrastate quotes can sometimes be higher per-mile than the distance alone would suggest.

Winter weather (December–March) affects the northern tier and mountain regions significantly. The I-80 corridor through the Poconos and the I-76 Turnpike through the Alleghenies can see snow and ice that temporarily slow carrier schedules. Build in 1-2 extra days of flexibility for winter shipments.

Philadelphia’s street layout in older neighborhoods (row houses, narrow one-way streets, low-clearance underpasses) can make carrier access difficult for full-size car haulers. If your pickup is in Center City, South Philly, or Kensington, the carrier may request a nearby meeting point on a wider commercial street or parking lot.

Pittsburgh’s hilly terrain and bridge infrastructure create similar challenges. The city has more bridges than any other U.S. city, and some residential streets on steep hillsides are inaccessible to large carriers. Suburban meeting points in Cranberry, Robinson, or Monroeville are common alternatives.

Penn State (State College), Temple, UPenn, Drexel, Pitt, and other Pennsylvania universities drive seasonal auto transport demand spikes in May and August. Book 2-3 weeks ahead during semester transitions.

Pennsylvania requires new residents to title and register a vehicle within 20 days of establishing residency, and vehicles must pass a state safety inspection within 10 days after registration at a PennDOT-certified station. Emissions testing also applies in 25 counties across the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh regions.

 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 !

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.

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.

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.
