You deal with the same company that drives your goods north, because Evolution is a licensed carrier, not a broker. Nobody hands your load to an outside hauler halfway to Dallas. Want a firm arrival day? Choose a dedicated truck and your delivery date is set. Prefer to save? A shared truck works within a delivery window. Compare both on our Austin long distance moving page.

Route Plan
Austin to Dallas Road Notes
Your truck leaves Austin on I-35 north, rolls past Round Rock and straight through Waco, then reaches Hillsboro, where the interstate splits in two. Dallas loads take the I-35E branch past Waxahachie. The worst crawl waits near the finish. The I-35E stretch between US 67 and I-30, just south of downtown Dallas, landed on the 2025 Texas 100 most congested list. Our drivers time departures to clear it before the afternoon jam forms. Fuel goes in before we leave Austin, so the run north needs only one short break.
Up in north Austin, the tolled MoPac Express Lanes bar trucks and trailers. A pickup in North Burnet or Round Rock reaches I-35 on regular lanes. Pick a start time with that in mind. At the Dallas end, we confirm curb space with you before the truck arrives. The truck sits at your curb only while the crew works, so open a clear path from the street to your door.
Before load day, a coordinator studies your walkthrough, counts the bulky pieces and sizes the crew so the truck is packed before the midday heat. We check curb space at both addresses and log gate codes, elevator slots and dock times. You can also see how our Austin area moving crews handle jobs closer to home.
Before You Head North
- Get withdrawal papers from Round Rock ISD
- Reserve the elevator at your North Burnet apartment
- Keep car trailers off MoPac Express Lanes
- Clear Dallas curb space before the truck
- Box candles and vinyl records before July
- Watch NWS Fort Worth alerts in winter
- Send us your Elm Thicket street notes
- Label every box by Dallas room name
Send these notes when you book and we fold them into your move plan.

What Does Moving from Austin to Dallas Cost?
Your price starts with weight, since a heavier load needs more movers and sometimes a second truck. Then we weigh access on each end: stairs, elevator bookings, long walks from the curb and any packing you hand us. The figure we write down works as a ceiling, so your bill can land lower but never higher for the same inventory.
| Your home | Approx. load | Team | Typical cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio or 1 bedroom | 1,500 to 3,500 lbs | 2 movers, 1 truck | $1,350 to $1,550 |
| 2 to 3 bedrooms | 4,000 to 8,000 lbs | 3 movers, 1 truck | $1,550 to $1,750 |
| 4+ bedrooms | 9,000 to 13,000 lbs | 4 movers, 2 trucks | $1,750 to $2,250 |
Each range covers your crew, the truck, fuel, any tolls and the full drive up I-35 and I-35E. Balances paid by card carry a 2.5% fee.

Austin and Dallas Side by Side: What the Gaps Mean
Figures in this chart come from the U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey five-year estimates for both cities.

|---|---|---|
| Population | 979,539 | 1,307,930 |
| Median household income | $93,658 | $70,518 |
| Median home value | $555,300 | $320,700 |
| Average commute | 23.7 min | 25.7 min |
| Median age | 34.7 | 33.4 |
| State income tax | None | None |

Dallas homes tend to cost less, so a budget that bought a north Austin condo may cover a larger house with spare rooms. That can mean shipping everything you own and still buying a few pieces after you arrive. Household incomes run lower and drives to work run a touch longer, so living near your hospital or office pays off. Lease close to work at first, then shop for a house once you know the traffic.
One cost this chart leaves out is property tax. The City of Dallas homestead exemption for owners who are 65 or older, or disabled, stands at $175,000 and has applied since tax year 2025. That trims the city portion of the bill for parents who downsize into a Dallas home. Read the City of Dallas exemption review before you close.
Dallas Realities to Plan Around
- Riders 65 and older get reduced DART fares with a DART-issued photo ID
- A Children's Health campus is planned at Harry Hines Boulevard and Mockingbird Lane
- That campus will replace Children's Medical Center Dallas with 552 beds
- Elm Thicket-Northpark has been a city Neighborhood Plus target area since 2016
Leaving Austin: Domain Area Apartments
The city plans North Burnet/Gateway, the area bounded by Walnut Creek, Metric Boulevard, US 183, Braker Lane and MoPac, as a denser mixed-use area near commuter rail. If your building has a loading dock or freight elevator, book it with your leasing office early. Since your price follows weight, sell or donate patio sets, spare desks and old shelving before the walkthrough. Fewer pounds can mean a smaller crew and a lower written figure.
Settling into Elm Thicket, Dallas
Elm Thicket-Northpark sits just east of Love Field, framed by Mockingbird Lane, Lovers Lane, Inwood Road and Lemmon Avenue, a short hop from the hospitals along Harry Hines. Before the drive, tell us if your new place has a driveway, which side of the street stays open, and whether low branches hang over the curb. Those details decide where the truck stops and how far the crew carries each piece.
Nurses and Residents Bound for Dallas
The Southwestern Medical District, bordered by Mockingbird Lane, Medical District Drive, Stemmons Freeway and Maple Avenue, is a 387-acre complex with a workforce of more than 24,000. Hospital start dates rarely bend, and a missed orientation is hard to fix. Share your orientation date and badge pickup day, and we set the load so your bed, scrubs and kitchen land before your first shift.
Waco Heat and North Texas Ice
NWS Fort Worth puts the average first 100 degree day in Waco on July 4 and the last on August 30, and the truck rolls right through Waco. Winter brings a different risk: the January 2026 storm spread sleet, snow and freezing rain across North and Central Texas. We pad and shrink-wrap every piece, load heat-sensitive items last in summer, and call you about a safer date if roads ice over.

Your Dallas Move Starts with Our Austin Crew
Our Austin team reviews your walkthrough video and picks the truck size and crew. Then it sets a departure that brings the truck into south Dallas before the I-35E slowdown near US 67 builds. The Austin Google profile is a service-area listing that covers Austin and nearby towns, so we come to your door instead of asking you to visit a storefront. Call (512) 595-3003 Monday to Saturday, 7:30 AM to 7:30 PM; we are closed Sunday. Once the truck rolls out, your coordinator texts updates from the road and confirms the arrival window with you and the crew lead in Dallas.
