Route overview
El Paso to Houston is about 745 miles, heading east on I-10 East. The published transit of 2 to 4 days after pickup works out to roughly 190 to 370 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 $600 to $850, about 81 cents to $1.14 a mile.
Leave about a quarter tank of fuel and take out toll transponders and parking passes, so the vehicle does not register tolls while it rides on the trailer.
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 El Paso 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.
