Route overview
Kansas City to Phoenix is about 1,235 miles, heading west on I-40 West. The published transit of 4 to 6 days after pickup works out to roughly 210 to 310 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 $850 to $1,150, about 69 cents to 93 cents a mile.
If your street in Kansas City or Phoenix is too narrow, too steep or too tree-lined for a full-size carrier, the driver will arrange to meet at a nearby open lot instead.
Open transport suits most vehicles on a route this long. Enclosed trailers cost more and earn it for classic, luxury and low-clearance cars, which would otherwise ride 4 to 6 days exposed to weather and road grit.
