The Pacific Northwest (PNW)—with key hubs like Seattle, Portland, Spokane, and Boise—presents unique challenges and opportunities for vehicle logistics.

Spotlight on the Pacific Northwest

The Pacific Northwest is one of the most dynamic yet challenging regions for auto transport.

• Seattle, WA: A major hub for dealerships, auctions, and private relocations. Routes often extend to California, Texas, and the East Coast.
• Portland, OR: Known for active dealer networks and frequent cross-border shipments into California and the Midwest.
• Spokane, WA & Boise, ID: Strategic locations serving customers across rural and mountainous terrain, requiring specialized routing.

Seasonal demand is another critical factor. Many customers in the PNW ship vehicles south during the winter months or relocate inventory to warmer markets. DN’s team is experienced in navigating seasonal spikes while keeping vehicles secure, compliant, and on schedule.
