CARRIER CORRIDORS SERVING ALLENTOWN
Key Takeaways
Typical cost: Open carrier pricing runs $900-$1,450 to Miami, $900-$1,400 to Tampa, $200-$300 to New York, and $700-$1,100 to Chicago. Enclosed transport typically costs 40 to 60 percent more than open.
Transit time: Expect 1-3 days to New York, 2-4 days to Chicago, 3-5 days to Florida, and 4-8 days to Phoenix.
Seasonality: Allentown is a snowbird origin market, so outbound peaks October through December toward Florida and Arizona and returns March through May. Fall bookings typically carry a $150-$300 seasonal swing.
Savings tip: Booking your fall snowbird shipment 2-3 weeks ahead and meeting the driver near the I-78 and US-22 junction keeps you at the low end of the span.
Process: A coordinator assigns an insured carrier with $2M cargo insurance, you pay nothing until a driver is assigned, and GPS tracking follows your car across all 48 contiguous states.

Pickup and Delivery Logistics in Allentown
Allentown’s shipping calendar runs counter to the Sun Belt: this is an origin market. From October through December, Lehigh Valley snowbirds load cars toward Miami, Tampa, and Phoenix, and the same carriers bring them back March through May. That rhythm means outbound fall space books up first, and early planners capture the low end of the $200-$1,650 span.
Center city Allentown and the older rowhome blocks of Allentown, Bethlehem, and Easton have tight streets and parked cars on both curbs, so a full-size car hauler stages at a nearby wide street or a commercial lot along Airport Road, Union Boulevard, or the retail corridors by the I-78 and US-22 junction.
Door to door service is easy in the newer suburbs. Macungie, Whitehall, Emmaus, and Forks Township have wide residential streets and cul de sacs with room to load. Outlying Lehigh Valley towns can add 1-2 days to the pickup window.
