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's Tulsa page says to leave I-44 at West 51st, then follow the local streets to the branch. This note stops there and does not paste a yard directory. The plan's Tulsa auction page names IAA only. The yard must release the vehicle before a carrier loads it. Office hours on that page are Monday through Friday. See auction shipping. A house pickup is a different address from the yard.
Lanes
Tulsa's city pairs in the plan are large-metro matches with no autocomplete signal. Census ACS 2024 migration shows the largest flow into Oklahoma from Texas, then California, and the largest outflow to Texas. Oklahoma City is a separate page, with its own IAA branch. Registration is on the Oklahoma page.
Winter pavement
ODOT says bridges and ramps are the first to freeze and tells drivers to check okroads.org before a trip. The same page says the state can see severe weather in any season, not only in January. A closure on I-44 changes the day a truck from the west or east can reach the yard. If the delivery street is tight, set a meeting point off the interstate.
