Looking for a Vehicle Transport Company Between Texas to Michigan?

Ship a car from Texas to Michigan

Texas is a big, big place, and while it would mainly involve travel on the Interstates, there’s a lot of ground to cover between Texas and Michigan. That’s a drive that would be demanding even if you were in the comfort of your own family SUV, so you can imagine what it’d have to be like to complete that drive in a commercial transport truck that’s hauling vehicles for several customers. That’s when you need a reliable Texas car shipping company, because you can’t afford to let just anyone handle this job, especially when it’s your own vehicle that they’ll be transporting.

 

SGT is the company you’ve been looking for. We’re more than just a car shipping company in Texas; SGT Auto Transport has a nationwide presence, with over 26,000 professional transport drivers spread around the country for better territorial coverage and better, more efficient routing and dispatch. We’ve been in the auto logistics business for over a decade, with a track record that includes serving over 70,000 customers and delivering over 100,000 vehicles for them. We’ve spent that time investing in what works best to serve our customers’ expectations, with the latest innovations in logistics tech and the right set of systems to answer logistics needs. Our transport drivers are where the rubber meets the road (pun intended), and they’re all carefully handpicked for the right experience, the correct licensing, certifications, DOT permits and vehicle safety standards. More than anything else, though, everyone on the SGT Auto Transport team is devoted to serving customers and going the extra mile to get the job done for them.

 

In this blog, we’re going to talk about how the process works and bring it into sharper focus, and get a closer look at what drives shipping costs and helps determine rates from one week to the next. Let’s get in there for a closer look:

What Factors Affect the Cost to Ship a Car From Texas to Michigan?

Here are a few considerations that come to mind when it’s time to deliver a shipping quote:

Vehicle year/make/model: this is always going to be one of the first and most important aspects. It costs more to ship anything that’s bigger and heavier, and a 14 ft long RAM 1500 that weighs 5500 lbs is going to mean more space taken up on the transport trailer and more fuel burned, when compared to a 2500 lb Mini Cooper. 

Fuel costs: here’s another one that’s a big driver of shipping costs. We’re all at the mercy of prices at the pump, and if it costs more money to fill up a trucker’s diesel tank and get that truck down the road, those costs have to be recouped. The good news is that as fuel costs fluctuate downward, shipping rates will be adjusted downward along with them.

Labor costs: the shortage of qualified truck drivers has been plaguing the logistics business for a couple of decades now. It’s tougher for us here at SGT Auto Transport because we handpick the drivers we’ll contract with, and to attract and retain drivers of the caliber that we need, we offer premium pay. 

Inflation: just like fuel costs, inflation has been a problem worldwide since the Covid lockdowns, and the current state of flux in the global trade environment isn’t helping. If truckers have to pay more for basics like commercial truck tires, motor oil, maintenance items and other parts needed to keep a truck operating safely, those are costs that have to be passed on. 

Cost/mile: this is always the basis for any rate schedule, and all of the above factors go into determining a cost/mile structure. The good news is that for very long runs, cost/mile starts to go down, making cross country auto transport a great value.

How long does it take to Ship a Car from Texas to Michigan?

This is a tough question to answer, especially when considering the vast land area of Texas, so let’s narrow it down by just talking about auto transport from Laredo to Detroit. A routing guide shows that that would be a little over 1600 miles on the Interstates, and our guidelines for transport drivers say that a logistics run of 200 miles should be doable in a single day’s time. At the other extreme, a delivery that needs to cover 2000 miles should be manageable in an 8 to 9 day turnaround. With that in mind, we could estimate that auto transport from Laredo to Detroit should be doable in 7 to 8 days. 

 

Let’s keep in mind, though, that arrival times and timeframes are estimates. The most well-planned auto logistics timetable can be thrown off by things like bad weather, road conditions, detours, construction or jammed-up traffic, bumping up the planned ETA. You can be assured, though, that if anything disrupts your delivery and slows down your transport driver, the support team at SGT will let you know and will keep you updated on the new ETA as well as the driver’s progress. 

How much does car transport Texas to Michigan cost?

When calculating the cost of auto transport, car shipping companies in Texas to Michigan consider several things. The key factor is how far you want to ship your vehicle, closely followed by the type of vehicle you want to ship. The following factors also make a difference in the cost of car shipping services.

Preparing for Vehicle Pickup

You specify the time and date you prefer for pickup, and the driver will arrive curbside to load your car, strap it down for security and get it on its way. The driver will ask you to do a quick inspection of the car’s condition, and he will do the same for the Bill of Lading document. It’s a good idea to wash your car first, as it’s easier to spot scrapes, dings and other minor defects on a clean vehicle.

What to Expect When Your Car Arrives

We’ll give you an estimate on the time and date of your vehicle’s ETA at the destination, and the driver will give you a call when he’s a few hours away, giving you a heads-up. At this time, you and the driver will both do a post-trip inspection and you can sign the Bill of Lading to verify. In addition, if you requested discount shipping with partial upfront payment and balance due on arrival, you can pay the outstanding amount directly to the driver. Cash, cashier’s check or money order are accepted.

Useful Tips for Car Shipping from and to Michigan to Texas

Let us help make your move a pleasurable experience


 

Top 7 hints for transporting/moving to this state

Please remove any external parts like light bars, bike racks, rooftop cargo carriers, antennas

Please remove any toll transponders or tags, and disable any alarms 

Please be sure all four tires are completely inflated, your car’s battery is charged up, and the car’s headlights and taillights work 

Remember that the driver will need a copy of your car’s ignition key 

We prefer to  ship vehicles with a quarter tank of fuel or less. Fuel weighs about 6 lb per gallon, and less fuel means less curb weight and lower shipping costs. 

Please check carefully for any motor oil, coolant, transmission, brake or power steering fluid leaks – a transport driver might refuse to load a vehicle with fluid leaks.

If your car’s not in running order, please let us know ahead of time. We can and do ship vehicles that can’t start, run, steer and stop on their own power, but it requires special arrangements, extra equipment and extra time on the part of the transport driver. 

If your neighborhood has low-hanging branches or lots of congestion, it could be difficult or even against city ordinances to get an 80 ft 18 wheel transport truck to your curbside. If that’s the case, consider getting together with the driver at an easier spot such as an open parking lot.
