A carrier, not a broker

Most of what comes back from a search for movers in Dallas is a broker: it sells your move to a carrier you have never spoken to, and the price moves once somebody finally sees your things. We hold the authority, so there is one company on the paperwork and it is the one with the truck.

USDOT 3795167

Active for household goods. Check it in the federal register before you pay anybody — ours or theirs.

One company, start to finish

From pickup to delivery, one company is responsible for your move: ours. See how a move actually runs on our how-it-works page.

A range, not an estimate

Under 49 CFR 375 an estimate is a written document made after a survey, and it binds us. Nothing here has seen your things.

What moves the price out of Dallas

How much you own, not how far you go

Volume is the bigger lever by a wide margin. A shipment twice the size costs roughly twice as much; twice the distance adds a fraction of that, because the truck is making the trip anyway with other people's furniture.

Getting the truck to the door

Stairs, an elevator that fits a sofa, how close a full-size truck can park, and whether the street needs a smaller shuttle truck. These are the questions we ask about Dallas before quoting, and they are where a surprise charge usually comes from.

The month you pick

October to April is the quiet half of the year. June and July are the peak, and the same shipment can cost 15 to 20% more. Mid-month beats the first and last few days.

How delivery actually works

A household move doesn't travel like a package. A long-distance trailer carries several shipments and plans its route around all of them, so you get a delivery window rather than a single date. On a long haul that's usually one to three weeks from pickup.

Federal rules require the mover to put that window in writing and to tell you if it's going to be missed. Ask for it before you book. If a company won't put it on paper, take note.

Be careful with a guaranteed date offered casually over the phone. If it isn't in the paperwork, it isn't a promise.

Why this is a range and not a quote

The size of a home doesn't tell you how much is in it. Two families in identical apartments can own three times as much as each other, and a website can't see which one you are. So the number here is a range, and it's wide on purpose: home size alone gives about ±30%, and a room-by-room list of what's coming narrows it to about ±15%.

Under federal rules, an estimate is a written document the mover prepares after seeing what you're moving, and it holds the mover to a number. On a binding estimate, you pay that number. On a non-binding one, the mover can require at most 110% of it at delivery. A number from a website doesn't count as an estimate, which is why we don't call it one.

The written estimate comes after a survey. A short video walk-through on your phone is enough; the FMCSA accepts it instead of an in-home visit.

Settle these before you pay anyone

Get the estimate in writing and check which kind it is. A binding estimate is the price you pay. A non-binding one can go up, but at delivery the mover can require no more than 110% of it. Some movers also offer a not-to-exceed price, which can only come in lower.

Ask what happens if you add things after the estimate. Under 49 CFR 375.403, before loading, the mover has to confirm the original estimate, give you a new signed one, or agree in writing to treat it as non-binding. If they start loading without doing one of those, the original estimate stands, and they can only charge extra for services you specifically asked for.

Ask what your valuation coverage is. The legal minimum is 60 cents per pound per item, which for a 50-pound TV comes to $30. Full value protection costs extra, and it's worth understanding before the move, not after.

Ask for the delivery window, the deposit and the cancellation terms in one written document, not three answers over the phone.

How a low price turns into a big bill

Moving out of Dallas

How much do long distance movers cost in Dallas, TX?
An interstate move out of Dallas, TX starts around $2,407 for a studio and can pass $10,000 for a large home going coast to coast. Volume moves the price far more than distance does — a shipment twice the size costs roughly twice as much, while twice the miles adds a fraction of that.
Are you a carrier or a broker?
A carrier. We hold our own operating authority — USDOT 3795167, MC-1363846 — and you can check it in the FMCSA register before you pay anybody. A broker sells your move to a carrier you have not met, takes a deposit and is not the company that shows up. We are the company on the paperwork and the company that moves you.
How long does an interstate move from Dallas, TX take?
It depends on the distance. Dallas, TX to Boston, MA is 1,859 miles and usually 5 to 12 days from pickup to delivery. Long-distance trucks carry more than one shipment, so delivery is a window rather than a date — ask for that window in writing before you book.
When is the cheapest time to move out of Dallas, TX?
Between October and April. Demand peaks in June and July, when the same shipment can cost 15 to 20% more than in winter. Mid-month is usually easier to book than the first or last few days.
What can go wrong with the price?
The usual story is an estimate given without anybody seeing the shipment, which grows on delivery day. Federal rules require the estimate in writing. A binding one is the price you pay; with a non-binding one, the most a mover can require at delivery is 110% of it. The number on this page is a range, not an estimate: nothing has seen your belongings yet.
