You talk to us. We find and vet the carrier. We stay in contact with you, the driver and everybody else involved, around the clock, so you don’t have to chase anyone.

Two ZIPs, one estimate
Tell us where it is and where it’s going. Your estimate lands in your inbox within minutes, based on what carriers are being paid on routes like yours right now.

Like it? Book it
A small deposit gets us on the road, figuratively and literally. Then give us a few more details, and we find you a driver, vet them, and set up the rendezvous.

- D
Hand-off
Check the car against the pickup report before you sign. We keep everyone in the loop along the way, sender and receiver, and we’re your one point of contact if anything changes.
First time shipping a car? and . Five minutes now makes pickup day a lot easier.
Small on purpose
We’re a small operation on purpose. No call center, no ad budget the size of a stadium. Less overhead means we can price close to what carriers actually get paid, and still give every shipment real attention.
One person, start to finish
One person on your shipment from estimate to keys-in-hand. We relay your plan to the driver, prepare both ends for the handoff, and pick up the phone when you call.

Pick the trailer for the car, not the other way around.
Most cars ride open. Some owners would rather they didn’t. Here’s the difference, plus the other choices that move the price.
Enclosed carrier
A covered trailer, often with a liftgate or long ramps for low cars. Popular for classics, collector and high-value cars.
- Shielded from weather and debris
- Usually costs more
- Fewer trucks, so plan a little further ahead

The stuff nobody tells you until pickup day.
A little preparation makes it smooth for everyone.
Rather talk it through?
Call or text (713) 570-6663 and we’ll walk you through it.
01 Make sure the deal is done
If the car is changing hands, wrap up the paperwork first: payment cleared, title and bill of sale sorted, any auction or dealer release in hand. A car that’s ready to go means no hiccups when the truck shows up.
02 Drivers don’t love extra stuff in the car
It adds weight, it isn’t covered by insurance, it’s a safety liability, and some drivers will refuse the car or charge extra. You can leave a few things in. Just keep them below the window line or out of sight.
03 Meet where the truck fits
A loaded car carrier is about 75 feet long and can’t turn down most neighborhood streets. The driver may meet you nearby instead, somewhere with more space and better safety. We’ll work out the best plan with you and the driver.
04 You might have to sort out a ride
If the meeting spot isn’t home, you may need a ride there or back. Tell us your plan and we’ll pass it on, so everyone shows up expecting the same thing.
05 Dates and times are moving targets
We plan for the best and stay flexible. We’ll work around your needs and find a driver whose timing works with yours.
06 Hand-off day
Walk around the car with the driver and compare it with the pickup report before you sign. Snap a few photos. If anything looks new, note it on the paperwork and call us. We’ll take it from there.
Before pickup
- Remove personal items and toll tags
- Paperwork and payment wrapped up
- Photos of every side
- Keys ready, plus any gate or release paperwork
- Tell us where and how you plan to meet

Questions, answered plainly.
Some answers depend on the carrier and your booking. Where that’s true, we say so.
How do you work out my estimate?
From what carriers are actually being paid on routes like yours, based on recent prices from the national load board carriers use. It’s adjusted for distance, open or enclosed, whether the car runs, and vehicle size. It’s an estimate, not a booking. The final price is confirmed when a carrier accepts your car.
Why is it a range?
Carrier prices move with season, fuel and how busy your route is that week. The range is where we expect to land. If it moves before you book, we’ll tell you before anything is confirmed.
Do you own the trucks?
No. We arrange your shipment with independent carriers that hold active federal authority, and we check their insurance before they touch your car. You’ll know who the carrier is before pickup.
Is my car insured?
Carriers must carry cargo insurance, and we verify the assigned carrier’s certificate. Limits and deductibles vary, so we confirm them with you before booking. Personal items left in the car aren’t covered.
When do I pay?
Nothing until you like your estimate and book. A small deposit gets us on the road. The rest is due as spelled out in your booking confirmation — usually paid to the driver at delivery. We never take payment through this website. You’ll get a secure link or invoice.
Is the deposit refundable?
Your deposit is fully refundable until you confirm a carrier. The full terms are in your booking confirmation.
What if I need to cancel?
The cancellation terms come with your booking confirmation. Cancelling before a carrier is dispatched is the simplest.
How long does it take?
It depends on the distance and the driver’s route. We give you a pickup window and an expected delivery window, and keep you posted in between.
Can I track my car?
We update you at key points and you can always call us. Live GPS depends on the carrier and isn’t always available.
Where do you ship?
We’re launching with a focus on shipments starting or ending in Texas. We can review requests for other routes — every quote depends on finding a qualified carrier for that specific route and date.
I ship a lot of cars. Can we set something up?
Yes, whether it’s two a month or twenty. Open an account and you’ll get one contact who knows your lanes, plus simple invoicing.
Something unusual: lifted, lowered, auction pickup?
Mention it when we call, or use the detailed request form so we match the right equipment.

Always a person. Always on your side of the deal.
Your Dispatch Guy exists because shipping a car shouldn’t mean shouting into a call center while your car sits on a truck somewhere in Arkansas.
I started Your Dispatch Guy with a simple rule: there’s a real person on every shipment, from the first estimate to the moment the keys are handed to the receiver. That person knows your car, your dates and your plan, and they pick up when you call.
We’re small, and we like it that way. Lean is how we keep prices competitive. Small is how we keep it personal: a direct line, straight answers, and updates before you have to ask.
Moving one car or forty, the job is the same. Find a carrier we trust, set everyone up for an easy handoff, and stay in the middle until it’s done.
Your Dispatch Guy is operated by ANSAR LOGISTICS LLC (MC-98072189 · USDOT 9655722), an auto transport broker working with independent, licensed and insured carriers.
