About Car Hauler Trucking

Car haulers transport 8-10 vehicles per load between dealerships, auctions, ports, and manufacturers. Rates are per-vehicle rather than per-mile, with premium pricing for enclosed transport and long-distance moves.

Car Hauler Market in the South Central

The South Central region is the epicenter of American flatbed freight, driven by the oil and gas industry in the Permian Basin, steel pipe manufacturing in Houston, and massive construction across Texas. Oilfield equipment moves between Midland-Odessa and Houston create some of the highest-paying flatbed lanes in the nation. The region's year-round construction season means flatbed demand rarely dips.
