The 600 mile cutoff for cheap car shipping shocked me

Everyone says distance is the biggest cost factor when shipping a car. I read a breakdown from a dispatcher in Ohio and the real number surprised me: under 600 miles, the pickup and drop-off fees run about 70 percent of the total bill. That means moving a car from Dallas to Austin can cost almost the same as Dallas to Denver once you add it up. So for short hauls, are terminal-to-terminal yards actually worth the hassle over door-to-door?
