In our recent delivery process, we delivered a 2023 Cadillac CT5 from Houston, TX to Celina, TX using the Open Trailer Delivery service. It was a delivery over 283 miles at a cost of $725.00 which means that each mile is priced at $2.56.
The CT5 came to us operable, which means that it started, operated and ran on its own power. This made this delivery process a simple one.
The Route
The 283-mile route from Houston to Celina runs north through the heart of Texas. Carriers usually leave Houston on I-45 north, running through Huntsville and Corsicana before reaching the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
From there the route keeps going north through Dallas on the Dallas North Tollway or US-75, connecting to US-380 west into Celina, a fast-growing community in Collin County north of the metro area.
What a Regional Rate Looks Like for This Distance
With 283 miles, this is a relatively short freight within the region, with higher per mile costs compared to a longer freight route. The $2.56 per mile cost is an indicator of this trend because the cost of transporting goods will not decrease based on the number of miles.
The route from Houston to Dallas is one of the busiest routes in Texas, ensuring adequate carrier availability for the transport.
Open Transport
The 2023 Cadillac CT5 is a sedan that has regular ground clearance for its size, meaning that it will load into a multi-car open transporter the same way as any other regularly driven vehicle, without the use of ramps or special equipment. The fact that the car was received in drivable condition means that the driver simply drove the car up the ramps during pick-up.
Open transportation is also the only way to keep costs down, considering the type of shipment.
