Route overview
Tucson to Houston is about 1,055 miles, heading east on I-10 East. The published transit of 3 to 5 days after pickup works out to roughly 210 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 $750 to $1,000, about 71 cents to 95 cents a mile.
Someone aged 18 or over needs to be at each end to hand over or receive the keys and sign the inspection report. If you cannot be there yourself, name a friend, relative or colleague when you book.
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 3 to 5 days exposed to weather and road grit.

Every partner is licensed and insured. Before the Tucson 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.
