Dallas: Our Other Major Texas Lane

Dallas sits about 500 miles from New Orleans, reached by heading west on I-10 before picking up I-49 and I-20 into the metro. Despite the distance, most Dallas moves finish in a single day for our crew when we get an early start — figure around 8 hours of driving plus load and unload time. It’s a longer version of our Houston run, and just like that lane, one truck and one crew handle it from your front door in New Orleans to your new place in Dallas.

A Steady Student Corridor

Dallas-Fort Worth sends a large number of students to Tulane, Loyola, UNO, and Xavier, which makes this one of our most consistent college-move routes. We also handle plenty of standard household relocations for people moving to Dallas for work, so bookings aren’t limited to May and August — they just spike hardest during those months. If you need a piano moved as part of a Dallas relocation, our piano moving service is built into the same trip rather than scheduled separately.

How We Price This Route

Given the extra 150 miles compared to Houston, Dallas quotes run a bit higher for equivalent load sizes, but the same rule applies: what you’re moving matters more than the destination city. A studio apartment costs a fraction of a full house move regardless of which Texas city you’re headed to. Ask about packing services if you’d rather hand off the boxing entirely, especially useful for students packing up during a busy finals week.

Crew Chief Notes on the Long Texas Run

“Dallas and Houston get compared a lot, but Dallas adds real time to the day,” notes Jamal Broussard, who’s led long-distance and specialty jobs for our crew for seven years. “We start earlier on Dallas moves so we’re not unloading after dark, and if there’s a safe or anything oversized on the truck, that’s planned into the route ahead of time, not figured out at the curb.” Jamal personally checks the load plan on every Dallas job involving a safe or other heavy specialty item.

Peak Weeks to Plan Around

The two weeks after spring finals are the tightest on our Dallas calendar, with a second surge in early-to-mid August ahead of fall move-in. Office manager Desiree Landry recommends locking in your date through our quote form as soon as you know your move-out day, since Dallas slots during the May rush fill up fast. If your timeline doesn’t line up perfectly, ask about summer storage as a bridge, and see how past Dallas customers rated the crew in our reviews.
