Route overview
San Jose to Phoenix is about 710 miles, heading southeast on I-5 and I-10. The published transit of 2 to 4 days after pickup works out to roughly 180 to 360 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 92 cents to $1.27 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 San Jose 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.
