As of 2026-11-09. RideShipper estimate, updated 2026-11-09, based on 3,588 prices that customers reported paying in MoveAdvisor reviews, adjusted for U.S. diesel at $6.13 a gallon for that week (U.S. Energy Information Administration). In testing, the typical difference between an estimate and a reported price was about 20% of the estimate. This is an estimate, not a quote: the carrier sets the price. No pickup date was supplied, so this estimate uses November 2026. There is no seasonal direction adjustment for this route and month.
IAA lists a Fort Wayne branch at 4300 Oxford Street, Fort Wayne, IN 46806, and labels it a public auction. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern. No Copart, Manheim, or OPENLANE yard was confirmed. The truck cannot load a car the yard has not released. Start at the Fort Wayne auction area and shipping a car from an auction.
Illinois leads the inflow
According to Census migration data, ACS 2024 estimates that 25,727 people now in Indiana had lived in Illinois a year earlier (margin of error 3,764). Ohio was 11,600 (margin of error 2,893) and Kentucky 10,166 (margin of error 2,125). These are people, not booked trucks. The plan's city-route file includes Fort Wayne to Jacksonville, marked snowbird, and Fort Wayne to Boston. Illinois to Indiana is the largest state inflow. Registration is on the Indiana page.
Not an Indianapolis campus
Indiana University-Indianapolis and Ivy Tech are filed under Indianapolis. Ivy Tech's Fall 2024 enrollment of 110,710 is the parent institution, not a Fort Wayne lot. The Fort Wayne job this note can confirm is the IAA branch on Oxford Street. Office hours there run Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern.
