Route overview
The truck works out of the Northeast and down through the Southeast, then crosses Alabama and Mississippi on I-59 and finishes on I-10 into Houston.
Houston sits on the Gulf, so storm season is the one to watch at the delivery end. When a tropical system is in the forecast, roads can close and the drop-off waits a few days; a loose delivery date saves frustration then.
If the car lives in a city garage, ask the garage to have it out and ready at the start of the pickup window. A driver with eight other cars on the truck works to a tight schedule, and a long wait at one stop pushes back every delivery after it.
