Why This Route Works So Well
Look, we've shipped cars from coast to coast, and the Phoenix to Dallas run is about as smooth as it gets. No mountain passes to worry about. No crazy weather patterns that shut down highways for days. Just clean interstate driving through relatively flat terrain.
The I-10 corridor through Arizona and New Mexico stays busy with commercial traffic, which means our carrier partners are already running this route regularly. That's huge for you because it means faster pickup times and more competitive pricing. We're not trying to convince a driver to make a special trip - they're already heading that way.
Here's something most brokers won't tell you: Dallas is a massive auto hub. We're talking about one of the largest car auction centers in the country, plus tons of dealership traffic. That means carriers know they'll find a profitable load heading out of Dallas, which keeps our pricing stable year-round. Win-win.
What to Expect During Transit
Your car leaves Phoenix and typically makes its first major stop in El Paso - that's about 430 miles and usually happens on day one. From El Paso, it's another 635 miles to Dallas, which carriers usually cover in 1-2 more days depending on their delivery schedule and any other vehicles on the truck.
Most of our customers see their vehicles delivered on day 3 or 4. Day 5 deliveries happen, but they're usually due to scheduling around other drops in the Dallas area or the occasional delay at our El Paso transfer point. We're tracking your shipment the whole time and we'll keep you posted if anything changes.
The actual route? I-10 East to I-20 East near Kent, Texas, then straight into Dallas. Some carriers take US-285 North through Carlsbad and Roswell if they've got pickups in that area, but the timing works out about the same. Either way, your car's riding on major highways the entire trip.
Peak Season vs Off-Season Shipping
Spring is absolutely crazy on this route. March through May, we're moving snowbirds' cars back north, college kids heading home, and the usual corporate relocations. Demand spikes hard, which means pricing goes up and pickup times stretch a bit. If you're flexible on timing, late February or early June will save you some cash.
Summer and fall? Pretty steady. Hot weather doesn't slow down the carriers much on this route since it's mostly desert anyway. Winter is actually our sweet spot - lower demand, better pricing, and carriers are happy for the work. Plus, you're avoiding any chance of snow delays since this route stays south of the snow belt.
Here's a pro tip: if you're shipping between November and February, you can often negotiate open carrier transport pricing that's 10-15% below our spring rates. The carriers need the freight, and we pass those savings on to you.
Phoenix and Dallas Pickup Areas
Phoenix pickup covers the entire Valley of the Sun - Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, Chandler, Glendale, Peoria, you name it. Our carriers can usually get within a few miles of your location for door-to-door delivery, though some gated communities and narrow streets require meeting at a nearby shopping center or main road.
Dallas delivery is even easier. The DFW metroplex has excellent highway access, and our carriers are familiar with the area. We deliver throughout Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington, Plano, Garland, Irving - basically anywhere in the metro area. Industrial areas and business districts? No problem. Residential neighborhoods? Usually fine, unless you're on a dead-end street that can't handle a car carrier.
One thing about Phoenix: if you're in North Scottsdale or way out in Ahwatukee, expect to meet the carrier at a main intersection. Those winding residential roads weren't designed for 75-foot car haulers. Same deal in Dallas - if you're in a subdivision with tight turns, we'll find a convenient meeting spot nearby.
Insurance and Documentation
Every vehicle we ship from Phoenix to Dallas is covered by our carriers' cargo insurance - up to $250,000 per vehicle. That's standard industry coverage, and it kicks in from the moment your car is loaded until it's delivered. You'll get a copy of the insurance certificate with your transport documents.
Documentation is straightforward: driver's license, vehicle registration, and insurance proof. If someone else is receiving the car in Dallas, they'll need to be listed on your transport order and have valid ID. No surprises, no last-minute paperwork headaches.
Here's what we recommend: take photos of your car before pickup, especially any existing scratches or dings. Our drivers do a condition report, but having your own photos gives you extra peace of mind. In 9+ years of shipping cars, we've had very few damage claims, but being prepared never hurts.
