The city hosts. Solo dry-van transit is realistic on this roughly 333-mile move, with a same-day or overnight window depending on appointment times; the run is primarily along the I-40/I-69/I-70 network and does not involve mountain passes or border crossings.

This corridor is usually steadier than true produce or holiday-only lanes, but volumes can tighten around retail peak periods in late summer through Q4 as Midwest/DC distribution freight accelerates. It is a relatively competitive Mid-South-to-Indiana lane because both ends sit near major distribution markets, so loaded dry-van and LTL pricing is often driven more by pickup/delivery timing and empty-mile positioning than by distance alone.
