Shipping a car in Dallas

Dallas is one of the larger markets in Dallas County, Texas, with roughly 1,326,087 residents, the 3rd largest of the Texas cities we cover. In a city this size the harder part of a booking is usually access rather than finding a truck: a full-size car hauler runs about 75 feet and needs somewhere it can legally stop and turn. Confirm the loading point when you book rather than leaving it to the driver on the day.

Pickup coverage around Dallas is dense. Mesquite (10 mi), Garland (10 mi) and Irving (15 mi) all sit inside a short drive, and a route built across that cluster can usually take in several stops before joining I-10, I-35, and I-45. The limits here tend to be physical rather than logistical: narrow residential streets, low branches and gated entries are the common reasons a driver asks to meet at a nearby lot instead.

Dallas is itself an endpoint on a published corridor. Dallas to Atlanta runs 780 miles on a 2 to 4 day transit, typically $650 to $900 for a standard vehicle on an open trailer. Those figures are a firm reference for anything moving that direction.

Elsewhere in Dallas County we also collect in Cedar Hill, Coppell, DeSoto and Duncanville and 7 more. A booking that shares a truck with a neighbouring pickup is usually the cheaper option, so it is worth mentioning if you are moving more than one vehicle.

Before you book

Carrier checks and vehicle preparation are the same for a Dallas pickup as for any other, so they are covered once rather than on every city page. Before pickup, ask for the carrier's MC or USDOT number to look up on FMCSA SAFER and for its cargo insurance certificate. How to prepare your car for shipping covers the wash, fuel level and personal items, and the Bill of Lading guide explains the condition report you sign at both ends.
