How soon do I register a car after moving to Texas?

New Texas residents generally have 30 days to register their vehicle, after passing a state inspection where required. Check the Texas DMV for current rules.

How can I check that a car shipping company is legitimate?

Look up its USDOT or MC number in the FMCSA database to confirm active authority and insurance, read recent reviews, and be wary of anyone asking for a large deposit before a carrier is assigned.

Are brokers and carriers listed together?

Yes. Each listing shows whether the company is a broker, a carrier or a marketplace. A broker arranges your shipment with a carrier; a carrier owns the trucks that move your car.

Frequently asked questions

How soon do I register a car after moving to Texas?
New Texas residents generally have 30 days to register their vehicle, after passing a state inspection where required. Check the Texas DMV for current rules.
How are these companies ordered?
Ordered by each company's Trustpilot rating, adjusted for how many reviews it has and how recent they are, so a high rating from a handful of reviews — or from a big but dormant review history — doesn't outrank a similar rating a company is actively earning. Companies without a usable rating follow, A to Z. Haulwide doesn't host reviews yet, and no company can pay for a higher position.
Company ranking methodology

How can I check that a car shipping company is legitimate?
Look up its USDOT or MC number in the FMCSA database to confirm active authority and insurance, read recent reviews, and be wary of anyone asking for a large deposit before a carrier is assigned.
