Evolution holds its own household goods carrier license and is not a broker. The company that tours your home also drives it north. Our movers are full-time employees who finish a two-week training program before they lead a job. Free released value coverage comes standard, and Worry Free upgrades add more protection if you want it. See how our long haul crews out of Austin plan each trip.

Road Notes
Austin to Arlington Route Plan
Your truck leaves Austin on I-35 north and holds it through Georgetown, then Waco on the Jack Kultgen Expressway near the halfway mark, then Hillsboro. There the driver bears onto I-35W toward Fort Worth and swings east on I-20. That final leg crosses TxDOT’s Southeast Connector, a project that widens I-20 between I-820 and US 287. Lane shifts in that zone can stall a loaded box truck, so we set departures to hit it outside the evening crush. Fuel goes in near Waco, so nobody stops inside the work zone.
Loading near the Georgetown square takes some care. The city has stepped up enforcement of its three-hour parking downtown, so we stage early and keep the curb visit short. At the Arlington end, city code says any vehicle or trailer parked in a front yard must sit on concrete or asphalt, and corner lots face tighter standards. Our truck never rolls onto your grass. It waits on the street or your driveway, and the crew carries goods in over floor runners.
Before load day, our planners study your walkthrough video, count the heavy pieces and size the crew to the weight. They note where the truck can stop at both addresses and flag any gate code or HOA call you need to make. One coordinator owns the plan and answers your texts. Read how our moving team serving Austin and nearby towns works.
Before the Truck Rolls
- Park your car in Georgetown's new garage
- Use MoveOutATX stations for unwanted dorm items
- Take doors off appliances for bulk pickup
- Check I-20 Southeast Connector alerts before leaving
- Apply for Handitran three weeks early
- Pick your Arlington trash cart size
- Start Arlington power and internet service
- Label boxes for each Arlington room
Every step above trims the weight we haul or the minutes we spend at the curb.

Start My Quote Call (512) 595-3003Leaving Austin: Shed Bulk Items First
Every pound you ship north adds to the bill, so cut big pieces before the walkthrough. Austin Resource Recovery picks up old furniture and appliances only by appointment. Crews skip piles left in alleys or stuffed into bags, and they refuse mirrors and cardboard boxes. A booked date cannot be moved, only canceled and rebooked. Set your pile at the street, and our estimate shrinks with it.
Settling into Arlington Curb Rules
Unpacking leaves a mountain of boxes. In Arlington, cardboard goes in the green recycling cart, and anything at the curb must be out by 7:00 a.m. on your pickup day. The city hauls bulk waste up to two cubic yards a week, about the size of a washer and dryer. Ask your crew lead to break boxes down, and we will leave them flat beside the cart.
GM Transfers to Arlington Assembly
Arlington Assembly is the GM plant that builds full-size SUVs such as the Tahoe, Suburban, Yukon and Escalade. It covers 250 acres and employs more than 5,000 people. If GM or another employer is relocating you, send HR our written price early so approval clears before your start date. We can load on a Saturday and have beds built for a Monday shift.
May Storms at the DFW End
NWS Fort Worth records show May brings the most thunderstorm days of the year at DFW, while January brings the most freezing nights. Either can hit the last hour of your drive. We shrink-wrap upholstered pieces, pad every dresser and keep mattresses in sealed bags. If ice shows up in the forecast, your coordinator calls the day before to talk through a later start.
Pricing
What Does Moving from Austin to Arlington Cost?
Your price starts with the weight on the truck, because most of the bill tracks pounds hauled north. Crew size, truck count, stairs, long carries and extras like packing shape the rest. After the walkthrough you get a ceiling in writing, and the final total cannot climb past it unless you add items.
| Your home | Approx. load | Team | Typical cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio or 1 bedroom | 1,500 to 3,500 lbs | 2 movers, 1 truck | $1,400 to $1,600 |
| 2 to 3 bedrooms | 4,000 to 8,000 lbs | 3 movers, 1 truck | $1,600 to $1,800 |
| 4+ bedrooms | 9,000 to 13,000 lbs | 4 movers, 2 trucks | $1,800 to $2,300 |
Quoted ranges include your movers, the truck, fuel, any tolls and the whole drive to your new Arlington address. Paying the balance by card adds a 2.5% fee.

Arlington homes sell for far less than Austin homes, so the same budget often buys an extra bedroom or a bigger yard. Household incomes run lower too, which keeps many local services priced for working families. Commutes stretch a little longer, so test your drive to work at rush hour before you sign. If you are trading up in space, sketch a room plan so nothing rides north without a spot.
One cost the table skips is trash service. Arlington charges homes a set monthly rate for curbside trash and recycling, listed at $20.98 on the city’s garbage rates and fees page. Bulky waste past the weekly allowance costs $20.86 per cubic yard, so sell or donate extras before the truck leaves Austin.
What Changes After You Arrive
- Five school districts serve Arlington, so check which one covers your street
- The South Cooper Street plan spans UTA Boulevard to Bardin Road
- Downtown follows form-based zoning rules that took effect June 1, 2026
