Waco is the shortest route on this list — about 90 miles and an hour and a half down I-35, close enough that customers sometimes ask whether it even counts as long-distance. It does, in our pricing: anything leaving the Dallas–Fort Worth area for good gets a binding quote instead of an hourly rate, because a one-way trip with a full truck doesn’t behave like a same-day local job.
Families move this direction for a lot of reasons — a Baylor connection, a first house that costs less than what’s available in the Best Southwest cities, a slower pace without giving up easy access back to Dallas for work.
Short drive or not, it’s still our truck and our crew for the entire trip. Nobody transfers your load to a second driver for the last 90 miles, and the price we quote in Dallas is the price you pay when the last box comes off in Waco.
Dallas → Waco — Estimated Cost
| Home Size | Estimated Flat Rate | Typical Transit |
|---|---|---|
| Studio / 1BR | $650 | Same day, usually within a few hours of loading |
| 2BR | $1,050 | Same day |
| 3BR+ | $1,650 | Same day, occasionally finishing early evening |
Treat these numbers as a starting budget — the binding figure gets locked once someone from our office has walked through your home size and the access at both ends with you.
Moving Dallas to Waco?
One employee crew — usually Ariana or Garrett on this stretch — handles both ends of the haul, from loading at our Westmoreland Road yard to carrying it in at the other end
The same people who load the truck in Dallas ride the whole route and unload it themselves in Waco — nobody hands your things off to a different crew partway, there’s no reweigh at a scale, and there’s no broker splitting the job between two outfits. Between them, Ariana and Garrett have covered enough of these runs that a same-day local job and a multi-state haul both get the same treatment.
