Our team has been in the car shipping industry for a long time. We worked for some of the largest brokers and knew there was a better way to do things.

So we set out to create a company that would be different. We want to walk you through how the process works and we guarantee to match any price you hear from a competitor.

We’re a scrappy team that looks forward to earning your business.

Getting your car ready for the Los Angeles to Dallas route is simple but important. Start by removing all personal items from inside your vehicle – carriers aren’t responsible for belongings left behind. Take out toll passes, GPS devices, and any loose items that could shift during the 1,200+ mile journey.

Clean your car inside and out before pickup. This helps you spot any existing damage and makes the inspection process smoother. Document any scratches, dents, or issues with photos.

Make sure your gas tank is between 1/4 and 1/2 full – enough fuel for loading and unloading, but not so much that it adds unnecessary weight. Check that your battery is charged and your tires are properly inflated.

Have two working keys ready for the driver. Remove or secure any custom accessories like spoilers, bike racks, or loose trim that could be damaged by wind or other vehicles on the trailer.

Yes, your vehicle is fully insured during transport from Los Angeles to Dallas. At Sakaem Logistics, we require all carriers to carry minimum $1,000,000 liability insurance and $100,000 cargo insurance.

We verify each carrier’s insurance is active and valid before your LA to Dallas shipment begins. This coverage protects your vehicle against damage during loading, transport, and delivery. You’ll receive insurance documentation with your booking confirmation.

Pro tip: Take photos of your car before pickup in Los Angeles. This helps document your vehicle’s condition and makes any potential claims process smoother when you receive it in Dallas.

For shipping your car from Los Angeles to Dallas, we recommend booking at least 2-3 weeks in advance. This gives carriers enough time to plan efficient routes and group your vehicle with other shipments heading to Texas.

Here’s why early booking helps:

• Better pricing: Carriers can offer lower rates when they have time to fill their trucks
• More pickup options: You’ll have flexible scheduling instead of last-minute rushes
• Seasonal planning: Winter months and summer moving season get busy fast

That said, we understand life happens. If you need faster service, Sakaem Logistics can often arrange pickup within 3-7 days on the LA to Dallas route since it’s a popular corridor. Just keep in mind that rush orders typically cost 20-30% more.

Pro tip: Book as soon as you know your moving date. You can always adjust pickup times later, but securing your spot early saves money and stress.

We accept all forms of payment. We can arrange credit cards or arrange for you to pay the carrier directly through cash/certified check. We even accept payment via Cash/Zelle/Venmo.

Your shipment with SAKAEM includes up to 100 lbs of personal items or household goods stored in the trunk area or secured below the window line. If your shipment includes ocean transit (Hawaii shipments), your vehicle must be emptied of all items. SAKAEM and your assigned carrier are not responsible for personal items left inside your vehicle. See our Auto Transport Process Article for more details.

A designated (adult) must be present at pickup and delivery. This designated person plays an important role in the shipping process including documenting the state of the vehicle and signing the Bill of Lading, which acts as a receipt of the vehicle’s condition.

Open transport is the most common and budget-friendly option for shipping your car from Los Angeles to Dallas. Your vehicle travels on an open trailer alongside other cars, exposed to weather and road debris. This method costs significantly less and is perfectly safe for most everyday vehicles.

Enclosed transport protects your car inside a covered trailer, shielding it from weather, dust, and road debris during the 1,400-mile journey. This premium service typically costs 40-60% more than open transport but is worth it for luxury cars, classics, or vehicles with custom paint jobs.

Which should you choose? Most people shipping standard cars from LA to Dallas pick open transport to save money. Choose enclosed transport if your vehicle is worth over $50,000, has sentimental value, or features custom modifications you want to protect.

At Sakaem Logistics, we offer both options with transparent pricing – no hidden fees or monopoly markups that bigger brokers charge.

Yes, Sakaem Logistics offers door-to-door auto transport service from Los Angeles, CA to Dallas, TX. This means we’ll pick up your car from your home, office, or any address you choose in LA and deliver it directly to your specified location in Dallas.

Here’s how it works: When you book with us, simply provide your preferred pickup address in Los Angeles and delivery address in Dallas. Our assigned carrier will handle the rest. In most cases, the truck can reach your exact address. However, if your street has restrictions like low-hanging branches, narrow roads, or weight limits, don’t worry – we’ll arrange pickup and delivery at a safe, nearby location such as a shopping center or gas station.

This door-to-door service saves you time and hassle. You won’t need to drive to a terminal or depot. Instead, you can focus on your move while we handle getting your vehicle safely from LA to Dallas. It’s one of the reasons our customers choose Sakaem Logistics over the big brokers – we make car shipping simple and stress-free.

We transport sedans, SUVs, pickup trucks, electric vehicles, vans and motorcycles across all 48 continental states + Hawaii. Our services even provide shipment for golf carts, ATVs, or RVs. We can ship vehicles that don’t run so long as the vehicle can roll, brake, and steer, and that you can provide the carrier with a key to the vehicle. The only exception is boats, which we do not transport.
