Car Shipping in Iowa
Iowa's I-80 corridor running through Des Moines is one of the most heavily traveled freight routes in America, keeping auto transport rates affordable.
Iowa Auto Transport Overview
Iowa is centrally located in the Midwest with I-80 crossing the state east-west through Des Moines and I-35 running north-south from Minneapolis to Kansas City. This creates a strong carrier flow through the state. The Quad Cities area (Davenport, Bettendorf) on the Mississippi River and Cedar Rapids both benefit from I-80 traffic. State Wide Auto Transport (SWA) provides reliable and affordable auto transport across Iowa, from Sioux City to Burlington.
