Same-region moves. Often picked up and delivered inside 48 hours.
Coverage
All 48 states,
All 48 states,
door to door.
We run the lower 48 and quote Alaska, Hawaii and cross-border separately. Below are the transit times we actually see on the road, not the ones that look best on a website.
What door-to-door means
As close to your door
As close to your door
as the truck can legally get.
A nine-car trailer is 75 feet long. It does not fit down every residential street, and in some towns it is not allowed to. When that happens the driver meets you a few minutes away in a supermarket or shopping-centre lot — agreed with you in advance, never sprung on you on the day.
✓Pick-up and delivery addresses agreed before dispatch
✓Driver calls ahead, usually the evening before
✓Terminal-to-terminal available where it works out cheaper
✓Someone over 18 must be there to sign at both ends
Transit times
How long it actually takes.
2 – 4 days
500 – 1,000 miles
One long driving day plus stops. Texas to Colorado, Georgia to Ohio.
3 – 5 days
1,000 – 1,500 miles
Two to three driving days with the mandatory rest breaks in between.
4 – 6 days
1,500 – 2,000 miles
Cross-country but not coast to coast. Florida to Chicago, Texas to Seattle.
5 – 8 days
2,000 – 2,500 miles
Coast to coast. The trailer fills along the way, which is what keeps the price down.
7 – 10 days
Over 2,500 miles
Long haul with route planning. Alaska and Hawaii are quoted separately.
Transit starts the day the vehicle is collected, not the day you book. Pick-up windows are normally one to five days from booking, shorter on busy lanes and longer out of rural areas. Winter weather in the mountain states adds days that no carrier can promise away.
Open carrier
The default, and usually the right one
Nine or ten vehicles on one trailer, the same way new cars reach dealerships. Cheapest per mile, most trucks on the road, so pick-up windows are shortest. Your vehicle is exposed to weather and road dust — the same as driving it there yourself.
Enclosed
For anything you would not park outside
Two to six vehicles in a closed trailer, often with a lift gate for low clearance. Typically 40–60% more than open, and fewer trucks, so book further ahead. Worth it for classics, exotics, fresh paint and anything with a value you would hate to argue about.
Your route
Two cities and a date.
That is all we need to price it. Flexible dates usually save money.
