To your Houston warehouse, on a lane we already run.
Our Carolinas to Houston lane runs three to four times a week in both directions. Exporters in the Houston area buy at Southeast auctions and need those units at their loading warehouse, and those units ride a truck that is going to Houston anyway.
Illustrative photography — not Prime Trans equipment.Can I get Southeast auction cars to an export warehouse in Houston?
Yes. Prime Trans runs a scheduled Carolinas to Houston car-hauling lane three to four times a week in both directions, about 990 miles. It picks up auction units from Copart, IAA, Manheim and America's Auto Auction in the Carolinas and Georgia and delivers them to exporters' loading warehouses in the Houston area by appointment, never into a port terminal.
A scheduled lane, not a one-off.
| Distance | About 990 miles from our Spartanburg yard, roughly fourteen and a half hours of driving |
|---|---|

The lane itself, with its stops and schedule, is on Carolinas → Houston.

| America's Auto Auction Greenville | 2415 SC-101, Greer | about 13 mi |

America's Auto Auction also runs several sites in the Houston area. When a Houston exporter buys there, that is a local pickup at the far end of the lane.

Straight answers
How often do you run from the Carolinas to Houston?
Three to four times a week in both directions. That's a departure schedule, not a promise to go find a truck when you call.
How long does it take to get auction cars from Atlanta to Houston?
The Houston lane passes Atlanta on its first leg, so an Atlanta pickup reaches Houston in about two days from the departure it rides.
Do you deliver into the Port of Houston?
No. We deliver to exporters' loading warehouses in the Houston area, never into a port terminal.
