Route Overview
Colorado to Texas is a popular auto transport route connecting the Front Range metro areas of Denver, Colorado Springs, and Fort Collins to major Texas cities including Dallas, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio. Carriers typically take I-25 south from Denver through Colorado Springs and into New Mexico, then connect with I-40 to Amarillo or continue on I-25 to Albuquerque before heading east on I-40. An alternate routing via I-76 and I-70 may serve eastern Colorado pickups. This corridor sees steady demand from relocations, military moves between Colorado bases and Fort Cavazos, and seasonal moves related to ski towns and lifestyle changes.
