Auto Transport Rates Jump

By Staff Writer April 10, 2025

Super Dispatch, an automotive transportation management platform, released its Super Moves: State of Auto Transport Report. The findings offer an in-depth analysis of the key industry trends that matter to shippers, carriers and brokers.

Key findings from the Super Moves report include:

  • Transport rates jumped 20% year-over-year, reaching an average of $3.49 per mile, even as average mileage per order rose just 3%, signaling added pressures on pricing.
  • SUVs led the pack in 2024, making up 46% of all transported vehicles and far surpassing the number of sedans (29%) and trucks (17%) moved last year.
  • Bulk shipping improved efficiencies and lowered costs, with six-vehicle shipments lowering per-mile expenses by 26% compared to single-vehicle transports.
  • Natural disasters caused temporary slowdowns, but industry resilience saw demand rebound within 7 days as carriers cleared backlogs and resumed operations.
  • Carrier satisfaction remained high at 96%, driven by strong communication, on-time delivery and overall reliability across the Super Dispatch platform.

Backed by data from nearly 15,000 carriers and over 50,000 individual drivers who moved vehicles via Super Dispatch in 2024, the report explores key shifts in vehicle types moved, transport methods, pricing trends and seasonal fluctuations. It also provides nationwide coverage and regional lane-specific breakdowns to equip shippers, carriers and brokers with the insights needed to navigate the industry challenges of today and plan for the road ahead.

“With millions of vehicles being moved on the Super Dispatch platform each year, we see industry-shaping trends unfold in real-time — and are excited to share what we’ve found,” said Matt Bradley, CEO of Super Dispatch. “In sharing our insights, we’re providing customers with the latest information to help them stay ahead of challenges, streamline their operations and find new opportunities to move vehicles faster, smarter and easier than ever before.”
