Frequently Asked Questions

How is long distance moving pricing calculated?+
Long distance moving is priced based on the weight of your items and the distance traveled. Heavier and larger shipments cost more. You can get an estimated weight by doing a virtual inventory walkthrough with our team. We also charge separately for packing, insurance upgrades, and specialty items.
How long does a long distance move from Dallas take?+
Transit time depends on distance: Dallas to Houston or Austin is typically 1–2 days. Dallas to Denver or Phoenix is 2–4 days. Dallas to Chicago or East Coast is 3–5 days. Dallas to Los Angeles is 3–6 days. Delivery windows are given upfront. Shared truckload moves (consolidated) can take longer.
Do you provide insurance for long distance moves?+
Yes. Basic liability coverage is included at no charge — this covers items at 60 cents per pound. We recommend upgrading to full-value protection, which replaces lost or damaged items at their replacement value. Full-value protection is priced based on the declared value of your shipment.
Can you move my car along with my household items?+
Vehicle transport is separate from household goods moving. We can coordinate auto transport for you through a trusted DFW-based auto carrier. Most vehicles are transported via enclosed or open carrier. Transport takes 1–7 days depending on distance and route.
What is the best time to move long distance from Dallas?+
If you can choose, October through February is the best time for long distance moves from DFW. Prices are 20–30% lower, trucks are more available, and you avoid summer heat during loading. June, July, and August are peak season — more availability issues and higher prices.
Can I pack my own items for a long distance move?+
Yes. Self-packing is common for long distance moves and saves money. However, items you pack yourself are not covered by the mover's liability for breakage (they were packed by you). Professionally packed items are covered. For fragile or high-value items, professional packing is worth the cost.
