Seasonal tip
Snowbird traffic runs south in late fall and back north in spring, so this southbound route is busiest from October through December. One to two weeks of notice is usually enough at other times of year; in peak snowbird weeks, three weeks leaves more room to find a truck for your dates.
Route overview
Cincinnati to Tampa is about 910 miles, heading south on I-75 South. The published transit of 3 to 5 days after pickup works out to roughly 180 to 300 miles a day, slower than driving it yourself because the truck stops for other vehicles and federal rules cap the driver at 11 hours behind the wheel per shift.
The published range for a standard sedan on an open carrier is $750 to $1,000, about 82 cents to $1.10 a mile.
Once a truck is assigned you get the driver’s contact details, and drivers usually call ahead on the day of pickup and again before delivery.
Most regional moves go on open carriers. Enclosed transport is quoted on request for high-value vehicles.

Every partner is licensed and insured. Before the Cincinnati pickup, ask for the carrier's MC or USDOT number to check on FMCSA SAFER and for its cargo insurance certificate; the Bill of Lading guide explains the inspection you sign at both ends, and the disclaimer sets out who is responsible for what.
