Georgia to Arkansas Auto Transport Challenges & Tips
Georgia to Arkansas is a two- to four-day trip through Alabama and Memphis. Atlanta traffic, the Memphis river crossing and spring storms cause most of the delays. Here's what to plan for.
Atlanta Traffic
Most trucks leaving Georgia start in or pass through Atlanta, where I-75, I-85 and I-20 meet. Traffic on the Downtown Connector and the I-285 loop is among the heaviest in the country, so drivers try to get through Atlanta before or after rush hour.
The Memphis River Crossing
Trucks on I-40 cross the Mississippi on the Hernando de Soto Bridge in Memphis. When inspectors found a crack in it in 2021, the bridge was shut for nearly three months. A crash on either Memphis bridge can still back traffic up for miles.
Spring Severe Weather
From March through May, severe storms and tornadoes are common across Alabama, Tennessee and Arkansas. Carriers pull over and wait out the worst of it, which can add a few hours or a day.
Tip: Pick a Spot Near the Highway
Many Ozark homes sit on winding rural roads where a 75-foot car carrier can't fit. A large parking lot near I-49 or the nearest main highway is often the easiest place to meet the driver.
Tip: Get Assessed Before You Register
Arkansas gives new residents 30 days to register. First have the car assessed by your county assessor. Then bring your Georgia title, an odometer statement, proof of Arkansas liability insurance, the assessment and proof your personal property taxes are paid to a state revenue office.
Tip: Prepare Your Vehicle Properly
Clean your car and remove personal items before pickup. Take date-stamped photos from every side, keep the gas tank at a quarter full or less, and check tire pressure. For a full checklist, read our article on Preparing Your Car for Transport.

Yes. Carriers with a winch can load and unload a car that doesn't run, as long as it rolls, steers and brakes. Expect to pay about $150 to $300 more than for a running car, and tell us the car doesn't run when you request quotes so you are matched with the right carrier.
