Texas is the second-largest state economy in the country and one of the most consistent two-way auto transport markets with Florida. Houston, Dallas–Fort Worth, San Antonio and Austin all support constant year-round volume, and the whole corridor rides I-10 and I-20.
Primary highways: I-10, I-20, I-45, I-35, I-12, US-59 / I-69
Seasonal behaviour on this corridor
The least seasonal of the long-haul corridors — Texas volume is driven by jobs and relocation rather than the snowbird calendar. Hurricane season can disrupt the Gulf Coast leg between June and November.
Transit and cost profile
Three to five days to the eastern Texas metros, four to six to West Texas. I-10 is a heavily used freight corridor with dependable capacity.
Competitive to the major metros. West Texas and the Panhandle cost more per mile because there is less backhaul.
How this corridor actually runs
- Dallas–Fort Worth and Houston are large enough to have carriers dedicated to Florida lanes.
- Austin and San Antonio pick up on the same I-10 / I-35 swing.
- New Orleans, Baton Rouge and the Mississippi Gulf Coast are natural mid-route stops on this corridor.
What affects the cost
We do not publish fixed prices, because an honest price depends on the vehicle and the specific move. These are the inputs that actually change what a carrier charges:
- Vehicle type, size and weight — a dually pickup or large SUV takes more space than a sedan
- Whether the vehicle runs, steers and brakes
- Open or enclosed transport
- How accessible the pickup and delivery locations are for a full-size carrier
- Time of year — snowbird season tightens capacity in both directions
- Carrier availability and current demand on the lane
- How flexible your pickup window is
- Distance and how far the endpoints sit from the main interstate corridor
Open, enclosed and door-to-door
Open transport
Your vehicle travels on a multi-car carrier, secured individually and exposed to the weather the same way it would be if driven. It is the most available and most economical option, and it is what most customers use. More about open transport.
Enclosed transport
A covered trailer, usually with soft straps and often a liftgate. It suits classic, collector, exotic, luxury and low-clearance vehicles, and anyone who wants to avoid road spray and winter salt. More about enclosed transport.
Door-to-door
The carrier comes to you rather than to a terminal. Where a 75-foot rig cannot legally or safely reach an address, the driver arranges a nearby meeting point — standard practice in dense cities and restricted communities. How door-to-door works.
