How long does it take to ship a car from Arkansas to Texas?
Shipping a car from Arkansas to Texas is about 560 miles and takes 2–3 days on the road, with most carriers running I-40. A shorter leg such as Little Rock to Houston, about 470 miles, runs 1–2 days. The clock starts when a carrier collects the car, not when you book. On this route the busy season lengthens the wait for a truck rather than the drive.
