What 579 Maintained Auto Transport Routes Show About Planning Coverage

This report analyzes Phoenix Auto Dispatch’s August 28, 2026 maintained route-planning snapshot. It uses the same 579 public directional route records published in the Phoenix dataset, then measures distance distribution, interstate coverage, reverse-direction maintenance, endpoint connectivity and state-pair coverage.

The analysis measures Phoenix’s maintained planning graph—not shipment demand. It does not represent completed shipments, market share, live carrier capacity, customer bookings or current pricing.

Snapshot findings

Five facts directly supported by the maintained route registry

579maintained directional routes analyzed
410 mimedian numeric planning distance
88.1%of maintained route directions are interstate
226unique endpoint cities represented
76city-pair corridors maintained in both directions
15.4%of maintained directions are 1,500+ planning miles
These figures are reproducible from the public CSV snapshot. Route inclusion is an editorial/planning decision and must not be interpreted as popularity, booking volume or carrier availability.

Distance profile of the maintained route graph

Distance strongly affects how a shipment is planned, but it is not a price. The table below groups the numeric planning distances already maintained in the route records.

Planning-distance bandRoutesShare of maintained routesDistribution
Under 500 miles31253.9%
500–999 miles11419.7%
1,000–1,499 miles6411.1%
1,500–1,999 miles284.8%
2,000+ miles6110.5%
No numeric distance00%

Across parseable route distances, the 25th percentile is approximately 250 miles, the median is 410 miles, and the 75th percentile is approximately 1,050 miles.

Interstate vs. intrastate planning coverage

Route typeMaintained directionsShare
Interstate51088.1%
Intrastate6911.9%

This classification describes endpoint geography only. It does not imply that one route type is more frequently booked.

Endpoint cities with the most maintained route connections

Connectivity is not demand. A city ranks higher here only when it appears as an origin or destination in more maintained Phoenix route directions.

State-pair coverage with the most maintained directions

This is a coverage table, not a market-volume ranking. It shows where Phoenix’s current planning graph contains more maintained route directions between state endpoints.

Distance extremes in the maintained snapshot

These are the shortest and longest numeric planning-distance records in this particular maintained snapshot. They are not live quotes or delivery promises.

How this analysis was produced

  • The source is the Phoenix Auto Dispatch maintained public route registry captured on August 28, 2026.
  • All 579 indexable directional route records are analyzed once.
  • Endpoint connectivity counts a route once for each endpoint city it connects.
  • State-pair coverage treats a state pair as unordered while directional routes remain separate records.
  • A bidirectional corridor exists only when both exact city-to-city directions are independently maintained.
  • Distance percentiles are calculated only from route records with a parseable numeric planning distance.
  • Interstate/intrastate classification compares the maintained origin and destination state abbreviations.

For customer planning, these aggregate findings do not replace shipment-specific route, access, timing, equipment or carrier information.

What this research does not prove

  • It does not measure completed shipments or customer demand.
  • It does not measure current carrier capacity or acceptance.
  • It does not establish market share.
  • It does not predict a current quote.
  • It does not turn transit-planning labels into guarantees.
  • It does not establish that a highly connected endpoint is a more popular shipping market.
