Route overview

Salt Lake City to Los Angeles is about 700 miles, heading southwest on I-15 South. The published transit of 2 to 4 days after pickup works out to roughly 180 to 350 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 $650 to $900, about 93 cents to $1.29 a mile.

If your street in Salt Lake City or Los Angeles 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.

Most regional moves go on open carriers. Enclosed transport is quoted on request for high-value vehicles.
