Car hauling in Houston, TX.
Houston runs on the same scheduled Texas lane as Dallas, dropping south on I-45. Westbound it takes auction units to exporters' loading warehouses in the Houston area and dealer units to Texas stores; eastbound it brings Texas wholesale units back to the Carolinas.

Straight answers
Is Houston the same lane as Dallas?
Same schedule, longer leg. The truck runs I-20 west and then drops down I-45, so Houston capacity moves three to four times a week like Dallas does.
How long is Spartanburg to Houston?
About nine hundred and ninety miles and fourteen and a half hours of driving. Pickup to delivery is normally two to three days.
Can you deliver auction cars to an exporter's warehouse in Houston?
Yes. Auction units ride the Texas schedule to exporters' loading warehouses and consolidation yards in the Houston area. We do not deliver into port terminals. The exporter or forwarder handles the title and the CBP filing; our job ends at the warehouse. See Houston export delivery.
Do you serve Galveston, Baytown, Pasadena and Katy?
All on the same run.
