Shipping a car out of Dallas: the main lanes
Distances from Dallas to the largest metros; measured routes are driving miles, the rest are estimated and marked ≈.
| From Dallas to | Distance | Truck drive time | Household move on this route |

Drive time assumes a loaded car hauler averaging about 55 mph with legal rest; a shared truck also stops for the other cars on the deck, so door-to-door takes longer than the drive.

Pickup in Dallas and checking the carrier
A loaded car hauler is about 75 feet long, so on narrow Dallas streets the driver may ask to meet at a wide lot; the 20 carriers based here will know which ones work. If the quote comes from a broker, ask which carrier's truck will come and open that USDOT number before pickup. Preparing the car and how car shipping is priced cover the rest.

Car shipping in Dallas: questions people ask
How many car shipping companies are there in Dallas, TX?
20 FMCSA-registered auto transporters are based in Dallas itself, and 40 more listed carriers work within 30 miles (Mesquite, Garland, Irving, Farmers Branch, Lancaster and nearby). All 60 hold active registrations with motor vehicles declared as cargo and a fleet on file. Brokers are registered separately and are not counted.
Who is the largest auto transporter near Dallas?
By reported fleet, Lap Auto Transport Inc in Carrollton, TX, with 17 trucks on its filing (USDOT 3040478). Fleet size is self-reported and describes capacity, not care; read the record behind the number before you book.
How much does it cost to ship a car from Dallas?
We publish no car-shipping price model, so this page prints no figures. The quote is set by the lane (Dallas to New York City, NY is 1,550 miles), open or enclosed transport, the car's size and whether it runs, the season and direction, and how flexible your pickup window is. The pricing guide linked below explains each factor.
Will a car hauler pick up at my door in Dallas?
Usually as close as a 75-foot rig can legally and physically get. On narrow residential streets, in HOAs that bar commercial trucks, or where overhead lines are low, the driver will ask to meet at a wide lot nearby. Agree the meeting point when you book, not when the truck is idling.
How have car haulers near Dallas done at roadside inspections?
19 of the 60 listed here were inspected in the past 24 months, 74 inspections in all. Vehicles were put out of service in 16 of 54 vehicle inspections (29.6%), against 32.4% for listed auto transporters nationally.
