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
  • Plan around the SMU fall start
  • Open Abilene water and trash service
  • Get MHO counseling before any lease
  • Pack fans for July heat in Abilene
  • Label boxes for each Abilene room

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

Route Pricing

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.

    What Dallas Customers Say About Our Crews

    Valerie De La Garza 5 years ago
    From the initial contact through my moving process, this company was professional, thorough, gave me a updated quotes as my needs changed, answered all my questions, and sent informational emails offering advice and tips for planning my move. Armando and Malcolm showed up on time and prepared, assisted with moving furniture and boxes out of a storage facility, then on to a residence where I'd been staying, and hauled all of it up 2 flights of stairs to my new apartment. …

    I cannot tell you how professional, efficient, and polite Joshua, Andrew, and Ethan were. They helped my move a 3 bedroom house from a storage unit from a second floor to a three bedroom townhouse. No damages to my furniture to the home help me and put together my table. Help me move some things around that. I incorrectly told them where it should’ve gone in the home. Just overall a total blessing would definitely use the service again. …

    This morning, Bryce and Isaiah from Evolution Moving met my daughter and I at her storage warehouse - and moved her into her new apartment. They are the third movers we’ve used in as many years - and the only ones we will call again! In short, they were fantastic!! They arrived on time in a clearly marked large truck. They are polite, efficient, careful and professional … and simply nice to be around! …

    Joshua, Xavier and Raymond did an AMAZING job with our move. We were moving my grandparents to a slightly smaller house to downsize, and the three of them were very efficient, polite and professional. They wrapped the big furniture and handled everything with extreme care. It went by very quickly (10am-6pm) and we could not be happier with them and their efforts. They are freaking awesome!!

    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
    Median age 33.4 32.8
    State income tax None None

    Source: U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024 5-year estimates, retrieved through Data USA.

    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.

    FAQ

    Dallas to Abilene Moving Questions

    How much do Dallas to Abilene movers cost?
    A studio or one-bedroom costs $1,300 to $1,500 on this route. A two- or three-bedroom home runs $1,500 to $1,700, and homes with four or more bedrooms run $1,700 to $2,200. Your walkthrough sets the exact figure. For a quick ballpark first, try our long distance cost calculator.
    How long does the drive from Dallas to Abilene take?
    The trip covers 181 miles and takes about 2.7 hours of driving, so most loads arrive in 1 day. A dedicated truck brings your goods on a set date. A shared truck delivers within a window, which can save money if your timing is flexible.
    What deposit do you need to book?
    We collect $500 per truck to hold your date. Homes with four or more bedrooms usually need 2 trucks, so plan on two deposits. To spread out the balance, Wisetack financing offers 0% APR options with a soft credit pull and no fees.
    Can you time my move to Dyess PCS orders?
    Yes. Send us your orders and your housing status as soon as you have them. If your Dyess Family Homes or Quail Hollow unit is not ready on arrival, we can hold your goods in storage and deliver once it opens. Check your PCS entitlements with the base before you book a private mover.
    Do you move students and faculty to ACU or McMurry?
    We do. A dorm load often fits the studio tier, while faculty homes follow the usual size tiers. Abilene Christian University sits at 1600 Campus Court. University Park families often work around the SMU calendar, where fall classes start August 24, 2026, and May Commencement falls on May 15, 2027.
    Who regulates a move that stays inside Texas?
    The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles does. Moves that start and end in Texas fall under the state's household goods carrier rules, not federal interstate rules. Evolution holds that state authority, and you can check any mover's status on the TxDMV website before you sign anything.
    Will an Arts District high-rise move cost more?
    Only if access adds time. Elevator reservations, long hallways and a distant loading dock can add crew hours, and the walkthrough captures them up front. Museum Tower on North Olive Street staffs a concierge around the clock, so book your elevator slot early and send us the building rules.
    Do your movers take apart and rebuild furniture?
    Yes, at no extra charge. Crews take apart bed frames, tables and desks in Dallas, bag and label the hardware, and rebuild each piece in Abilene. Day-use wardrobe boxes keep hanging clothes on their hangers for the ride. Tell us about cribs, bunk beds or adjustable bases during the walkthrough so the right tools come along.
    How should I get ready for unload day in Abilene?
    Start with our printable moving checklist, then confirm your keys, garage code and parking spot at the new address. Walk the rooms once so you can tell the crew where big pieces go. Keep medicines, documents and phone chargers with you in the car.
