We are a licensed carrier, not a broker, so the crew that wraps your dresser in Austin works for the company that sets it down in Plano. The owners who started the business still run it, which keeps answers quick and decisions local. Our crews drive Texas lanes every week from six hubs across the state. See how our statewide long haul service works before you book.

Road Notes
Austin to Plano Route Plan: Two Interstates and a Freeway
Your truck leaves Austin on I-35, signed here as Purple Heart Trail, and rolls north past Temple to the Jack Kultgen Expressway in Waco. Above Waco the interstate splits, and we stay on I-35E through Waxahachie and Lancaster into Dallas. From there the load climbs US 75, North Central Expressway, to Plano. The 2025 Texas 100 list ranks the US 75 piece between LBJ Freeway and Northwest Highway 16th statewide for all traffic. Drivers top off fuel before Waco and aim to clear that piece ahead of the evening jam.
Load day in Austin can land on your trash day. The city asks residents to set carts five feet apart and keep them out of bike lanes and off sidewalks. Tell us your collection day, and we will park where carts and ramp both fit. At the north end, Plano’s zoning code describes a standard alley as a paved lane ten feet wide. Our crew checks whether your new garage opens to an alley or the street before the truck turns in.
Before load day, our Central Texas moving team in Austin reviews your video walkthrough room by room. We size the crew to your heaviest pieces, pick curb or alley unloading for the Plano house, and note stairs at both homes. One coordinator keeps the schedule, so a single person answers your calls from packing day until the last box comes off.
Before the Truck Rolls North
- Break Austin boxes into two-foot squares
- Return Wells Branch library loans early
- Book Plano water service before arrival
- Measure Plano rooms before choosing furniture
- Check HOA covenants for truck parking
- Watch NWS Fort Worth spring storm alerts
- Schedule Austin utility shutoff after loading
- Label every box by Plano room
Share this list with whoever meets the truck in Plano.

Austin or Plano: What Shifts When You Arrive
These figures come from the U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey, so both cities are measured the same way.
| Measure | Austin, TX | Plano, TX |
|---|---|---|
| Population | 979,539 | 290,594 |
| Median household income | $93,658 | $112,253 |
| Median home value | $555,300 | $465,900 |
| Average commute | 23.7 min | 25.4 min |
| Median age | 34.7 | 39.6 |
| State income tax | None | None |

Plano skews older than Austin and earns more per household, yet homes there often cost less. For a downsizing buyer, that gap can mean a newer, single-story house without draining savings. Commutes in Plano run a little longer, which matters less for retirees and more for a working spouse headed to a Legacy office. Renting for a few months first lets you test grocery runs and doctor drives before you buy.
Property tax is the bill the table leaves out. The City of Plano gives owners 65 and older an exemption of 20% or $40,000 and freezes city taxes on the home. A new freeze starts if you move. Applications are taken year round. Read the details on the City of Plano senior services portal soon after closing.
Plano Realities to Plan For
- New Plano water customers 65 and older may have the $100 deposit waived
- DART offers reduced fares to riders 65 and older
- Plain-O Helpers does free minor home repairs for residents 60 and up
- Plano Community Home offers affordable units for low-income seniors 62+
Route Cost
How Much Does Moving from Austin to Plano Cost?
Three things drive this price: the pounds you ship, the crew needed to lift them, and how many trucks the load fills. Stairs, long carries at the Plano end and packing add time. After the walkthrough we write a not-to-exceed figure, so your final bill can come in lower but never climbs past it.
| Home size | Est. weight | Crew | Typical range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio or 1 bedroom | 1,500 to 3,500 lbs | 2 movers, 1 truck | $1,450 to $1,650 |
| 2 to 3 bedrooms | 4,000 to 8,000 lbs | 3 movers, 1 truck | $1,650 to $1,850 |
| 4+ bedrooms | 9,000 to 13,000 lbs | 4 movers, 2 trucks | $1,850 to $2,350 |
Each range covers the crew, the truck, fuel, any tolls and the whole run up I-35 and I-35E to your Plano door. Balances paid by card carry a 2.5% fee.

Leaving Austin: Shed Pounds Early
Every pound rides on the price, so sort before the walkthrough, not after it. Austin's curbside program picks up extra recycling set beside your blue cart in a reusable bin or a box no bigger than the cart. Use that to clear old paper files and packaging in the weeks before load day. Downsizing parents can mark keep, gift and sell items with colored tape so our crew loads only the keep pile.
Settling into Plano: Trailer Rules
Bringing a trailer or a long RV to Plano? Plano's zoning code calls any trailer a special vehicle. It may not sit on the parking spaces the code requires, and no part of it may hang over a public easement or right-of-way. Keeping one longer than 22 feet in a front yard needs a city permit and a lot plan. Tell us early, and we will leave the driveway open for it.
Moving a Parent Closer to Plano Family
Moving a parent into a smaller Plano home near family? The city runs the Sam Johnson Recreation Center for Adults 50+, where residents 50 and older can join for $15 a year. City recreation programs list more than 500 classes for that age group. We help by moving only the pieces that fit the new rooms, and we set up the bed and favorite chair before anything else.
Spring Hail and Summer Heat Up North
NWS Fort Worth says large hail, damaging winds, flooding and tornadoes strike the Dallas and Fort Worth area nearly every year, with storms peaking in spring. In July and August, afternoons often reach 100 degrees and some nights never drop below 80. We pad and shrink-wrap furniture, close the truck box between carries, and load electronics away from the rear doors.

Austin Team
Your Plano Move Is Planned by Our Austin Crew
Our Austin team reviews your walkthrough video and picks the truck size and crew count. We time departure so the load gets through Dallas before the US 75 backup near LBJ Freeway. Our Google profile is a service-area listing covering Austin and nearby towns, so estimates happen at your home or on a video call rather than at an office. Call (512) 595-3003 Monday to Saturday, 7:30 AM to 7:30 PM. We are closed Sunday. While your goods travel north, your coordinator texts updates and passes the crew's arrival time to whoever holds the Plano keys. If plans change on the road, that same person calls you first.
