What can slow a shipment from Oklahoma City
- Three interstates, three directionsI-40 runs coast to coast, I-35 runs from Mexico to Minnesota and I-44 cuts northeast toward Tulsa and St Louis. All three pass through here, which gives Oklahoma City an unusual range of direct corridors for a metro of its size and keeps quotes competitive.
- Spring, not winter, is the disrupted seasonSevere thunderstorms and tornado warnings through April and May stop pickups for hours or a day at a time, and hail is a genuine risk to a car on an open deck. If your move falls in that window, either build in slack or price the enclosed option properly.
- Among the easiest cities to load inThe metro is flat, laid out on a grid, and has space almost everywhere. Full door-to-door pickup works here more reliably than in most of the cities on this site, which is worth knowing if access has been a headache for you elsewhere.
Truck drivers may drive up to 11 hours after 10 consecutive hours off duty, which is why long routes are measured in days, not hours. Source: FMCSA hours of service
