The company that quotes your Abilene move is the company whose crew drives it, because Evolution is a licensed carrier and not a broker. Nobody resells your job to a stranger with a rented truck. Pads, shrink wrap and furniture disassembly come at no extra charge. Coverage runs from free released value up to Worry Free upgrades for pricier pieces.

The Drive West
Dallas to Abilene Road Notes
Your truck leaves downtown on I-30 West and merges onto I-20 West past Fort Worth. From there the interstate rolls through Weatherford, Eastland and Cisco, and no toll road sits on the path. Drivers top off fuel on the open western stretch and reach Abilene at exit 292A onto Hwy 80. We set the start time around your elevator booking or curb space, so loading begins the moment the crew reaches your door.
Loading in Highland Park? Several blocks on streets like Gillon, Euclid and Armstrong are daytime permit parking zones, enforced from 5 AM to 6 PM. The town rule still lets a moving truck stay past the usual two-hour limit while it loads household goods. At the Abilene end, families bound for Dyess Family Homes or Quail Hollow need a Military Housing Office referral before a unit is offered. We match your unload date to that referral.
Your walkthrough tells us the stairs, elevators and curb space we will face at each address. We size the crew to that list, pick a truck that fits the street, and write a parking plan for the Dallas curb and the Abilene driveway. One coordinator keeps the dates straight and answers your texts. See how our Dallas moving team works.
Your Abilene Prep List
- Request your Military Housing Office referral
- Ask Highland Park about permit blocks
- Book Arts District freight elevator time

Most families finish this list in the two weeks before the truck rolls.

What Does a Dallas to Abilene Move Cost?
Your price starts with the pounds you ship west, then adds crew size, truck count and any stairs or long carries at either address. Packing and storage go on the same sheet. The figure you sign works as a ceiling: the final bill can land under it, never over it, unless you add items.
| Size of home | Typical weight | Crew and trucks | Price range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio or 1 bedroom | 1,500 to 3,500 lbs | 2 movers, 1 truck | $1,300 to $1,500 |
| 2 to 3 bedrooms | 4,000 to 8,000 lbs | 3 movers, 1 truck | $1,500 to $1,700 |
| 4+ bedrooms | 9,000 to 13,000 lbs | 4 movers, 2 trucks | $1,700 to $2,200 |
Each range covers the crew, the truck, fuel and the full drive to Abilene, with any tolls built in. Balances paid by card carry a 2.5% fee.

City Snapshot
Dallas vs. Abilene: What Changes for You
The table draws on the U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey, so both cities are measured the same way.
| Measure | Dallas, TX | Abilene, TX |
|---|---|---|
| Population | 1,307,930 | 128,053 |
| Median household income | $70,518 | $62,648 |
| Median home value | $320,700 | $183,700 |
| Average commute | 25.7 min | 15.6 min |

| State income tax | None | None |

Abilene is a far smaller city with lower home values and shorter commutes than Dallas. For a buyer, the same budget often stretches to a bigger yard or an extra bedroom. Quicker drives to work also put a base or campus job close to most neighborhoods. Renting for a season first lets you learn which side of town suits your routine before you buy.
Property tax is the cost the table leaves out. The City of Abilene’s 2026 tax notice lists a no-new-revenue rate of $0.7196 per $100 of value, and county and school levies stack on top of it. Read the city’s 2026 rate notice before you set a budget.
Changes to Plan for in Abilene
- Every newly assigned Dyess Airman attends Jump Start orientation
- Each privatized base housing partner keeps its own application
- Card payments on city utility bills carry a 3% online fee
- Abilene Christian University and McMurry University both sit in town
Leaving Dallas: Arts District Towers
Condo owners in the Arts District, such as residents of the 28-story HALL Arts Residences, often carry more decor than closet space. Every pound rides into the price on this route, so sell or donate spare easels, bar carts and guest beds before your walkthrough. A lighter list can drop you into a smaller crew tier and shorten the loading window. Pack framed art last so it rides near the truck door.
Settling into Abilene: Utilities
The City of Abilene bills water, sewer and trash on one account through its Customer Service Center at 4595 South 1st Street. The application asks for a copy of your driver's license or ID, so keep it in your bag, not a box. Send us gate codes, alley access and where the truck can park, and your crew will plan the approach before it leaves Dallas.
Reporting to Dyess on Orders
Dyess Air Force Base hosts the 7th Bomb Wing and the 317th Airlift Wing. Visit the Military Housing Office for counseling before you sign any lease off base. The final housing step is a Welcome Center visit for an updated referral. Send us your report date and housing status, and we can deliver straight to the new address or hold your goods in storage.
Big Country Heat and Ice
Abilene hit 104 degrees on July 2, 2024, according to the National Weather Service office in San Angelo. In February 2021 the city sat at or below freezing for 252 straight hours while ice glazed area roads. Summer crews load at first light and wrap electronics and vinyl in extra pads. Winter dates get a road check the day before, and we shift the date if I-20 ices over.
