What Is Long Distance Moving? (And Why DFW Residents Need Specialists)

Long distance moving—also called interstate moving or cross-country moving—refers to relocations exceeding 100 miles or crossing state lines. Unlike local moves charged by the hour, long distance moves involve complex logistics, federal regulations, multi-day transportation, and significantly different pricing structures.

Why Dallas-Fort Worth Residents Choose Professional Long Distance Movers

Interstate Compliance & Licensing: Moving across state lines requires USDOT certification and compliance with federal motor carrier regulations. Our USDOT #3918729 and TxDMV #009567347C licensing ensures your interstate move is fully legal, protected, and compliant. We maintain active registration with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and carry the required insurance coverage mandating interstate movers. Unlicensed movers cannot legally transport your belongings across state lines, and using them puts you at risk for fraud, abandonment, and zero legal recourse.

Multi-Day Logistics Coordination: Long distance moves aren’t simple truck trips. They involve route planning, rest stop coordination, weather monitoring, delivery window management, and real-time tracking across hundreds or thousands of miles. Our dispatch center monitors every move 24/7, providing you with regular updates as your belongings travel from DFW to your destination. We coordinate driver schedules complying with federal Hours of Service regulations, ensuring your driver is always alert and rested.

Superior Protection During Extended Transport: Your belongings spend days (not hours) in transit. Professional long distance movers use climate-controlled trucks, strategic loading techniques, secure strapping systems, and premium packing materials that protect items from Dallas’ summer heat to Colorado’s winter cold. Items loaded improperly for long distance transport shift during travel, causing damage. Our crew uses professional tie-down systems, load bars, furniture pads, and strategic weight distribution preventing movement during the journey.

Comprehensive Insurance Coverage: Basic moving insurance ($0.60/lb) isn’t adequate for long distance moves. We offer full-value protection ensuring your belongings are covered for actual replacement value during the entire journey from DFW to your destination. Basic coverage pays $60 for a 100-pound dresser regardless of its actual value. Full-value protection covers the replacement cost—essential for furniture, electronics, and valuable items traveling 1,000+ miles.

Predictable Flat-Rate Pricing: Unlike hourly local moves, long distance relocations use flat-rate pricing based on distance, weight, and services. You know your total cost upfront—no surprise hourly charges if traffic delays occur. We provide binding estimates detailing every charge, so the price quoted is the price you pay (unless you add services or items not included in the original inventory).

Professional Packing for Long Hauls: Items surviving a 20-minute Dallas local move might not survive 1,500 miles to Seattle. Our professional packing techniques protect belongings through extended transport, multiple climate zones, and thousands of road miles. We use specialized techniques for long distance moves: double-boxing fragile items, custom crating for artwork and antiques, climate-appropriate materials, and systematic labeling ensuring items arrive in the same condition they left Dallas.

Storage Solutions Between Dates: Closing dates, lease endings, and job start dates rarely align perfectly. Our climate-controlled storage facilities bridge timing gaps, holding your belongings securely between your DFW move-out and destination move-in. We offer short-term and long-term storage in secure, monitored facilities throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth area, eliminating stress when timing doesn’t align perfectly.

What Makes Moving Company Guys – Dallas THE Long Distance Moving Authority in DFW

Comprehensive Federal Licensing & Insurance

USDOT #3918729: Our Department of Transportation number proves we’re federally authorized to transport household goods across state lines. You can verify our compliance, safety rating, and insurance coverage at fmcsa.dot.gov. Never hire a long distance mover without confirming their USDOT number—it’s the primary indicator of a legitimate, legal interstate moving company.

TxDMV #009567347C: Texas Department of Motor Vehicles licensing for intrastate moves ensures we comply with both federal and state regulations, providing you with maximum protection whether moving within Texas or across the country.

Full Insurance Coverage: We carry comprehensive liability coverage, cargo insurance, and worker’s compensation protecting you, your belongings, and our crew throughout your long distance move. Most moving scams involve unlicensed movers with zero insurance—when damage occurs or items disappear, you have no recourse.

Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration Compliance: We maintain active registration with FMCSA, undergo regular safety audits, comply with Hours of Service regulations for driver safety, maintain vehicle inspection records, and file required documentation for every interstate move.

Thousands of Successful Long Distance Moves: We’ve relocated Dallas-Fort Worth families and businesses to all 50 states, understanding the unique challenges of each destination—narrow Boston streets, Denver elevation, Seattle rain, Arizona heat, Florida humidity, Chicago winters, and New York City loading docks.

Route Planning Expertise: We plan optimal routes considering weather patterns, road construction, weigh station locations, rest stop timing, and delivery deadlines. Our experience prevents delays and ensures your belongings arrive on schedule.

Packing Techniques for Extended Transport: Items packed for a 2-hour Dallas local move won’t survive 20 hours to Seattle. We use specialized packing techniques—double-boxing fragile items, custom crating for valuable artwork and antiques, climate-appropriate materials, strategic load distribution, and professional tie-down systems preventing damage during extended transport.

Multi-Climate Experience: Dallas-Fort Worth items traveling to Minnesota in winter require different preparation than items going to Phoenix in summer. We understand climate-appropriate packing, preventing damage from temperature extremes, humidity changes, and weather exposure.

Three Strategic DFW Locations

Dallas Office: 3333 Lee Pkwy, Suite 600, Dallas, TX 75219 (Oak Lawn) – View on Google Maps

Garland Office: 2913 Big Oaks Drive, Garland, TX 75044 – Serving eastern Dallas County and Rockwall County

Plano Office: 5700 Tennyson Pkwy, Plano, TX 75024 – Serving Collin County and northern DFW suburbs

Multiple locations mean faster response times, convenient estimates, and expert knowledge of every DFW neighborhood, building access challenge, parking restriction, and local ordinance affecting your long distance move.

Professional Moving Crews (Not Day Labor)

Background-Checked Employees: Every crew member undergoes criminal background checks, drug testing, and extensive training. We never use day laborers or subcontractors—every person handling your belongings is a vetted Moving Company Guys – Dallas employee.

Specialized Long Distance Training: Long distance moving requires different skills than local moving. Our crews train specifically in strategic loading for multi-day transport, weight distribution, securing loads for highway travel, proper furniture disassembly/reassembly, and handling valuable items traveling thousands of miles.

Professional Appearance & Conduct: Our uniformed crews arrive on time, treat your belongings with care, communicate clearly throughout the process, and maintain professionalism representing our company and protecting your experience.

State-of-the-Art Moving Equipment

Modern, Climate-Controlled Trucks: Our interstate moving fleet consists of newer trucks equipped with air-ride suspension (reducing vibration and protecting fragile items), climate control systems, GPS tracking, and regular maintenance ensuring reliability across thousands of miles.

Professional Moving Tools: Specialized equipment including furniture dollies, appliance dollies, stair rollers, moving straps, ramps, load bars, tie-down systems, furniture pads (never moving blankets—pads provide superior protection), shrink wrap, and professional-grade packing materials.

Advanced Tracking Systems: Real-time GPS tracking lets you monitor your belongings’ location throughout the journey from Dallas-Fort Worth to your destination. We provide tracking links and regular updates ensuring you always know where your items are and when they’ll arrive.

Transparent Pricing & Binding Estimates

No Hidden Fees: Our written, binding estimates detail every charge—transportation cost, packing services, materials, insurance, special handling, storage if needed, and any additional services. The price quoted is the price you pay unless you add items or services not included in the original inventory.

Detailed Inventory Process: We create thorough inventories documenting every item’s condition before loading. This protects both you and us, ensuring accountability and proper insurance documentation if claims become necessary.

Multiple Payment Options: We accept cash, checks, credit cards, and can coordinate corporate billing for company-sponsored relocations. Final payment occurs upon delivery completion—never pay full amount before your belongings are unloaded.

Comprehensive Insurance Options

Basic Coverage (included): Federal regulations require minimum coverage of $0.60 per pound per item. This covers a 100-pound TV for $60 regardless of its actual value—inadequate for most electronics, furniture, and valuable items.

Full-Value Protection (recommended): Covers items at actual replacement value. If movers damage a $2,000 TV, full-value protection pays $2,000 (minus deductible) for replacement. Essential for long distance moves where belongings travel hundreds or thousands of miles.

High-Value Item Coverage: Additional coverage available for jewelry, artwork, antiques, pianos, gun safes, and other items exceeding standard coverage limits. We work with your homeowner’s insurance or arrange specialized coverage for valuable collections.

Climate-Controlled Storage Solutions

Timing Flexibility: Closing dates, lease endings, and job start dates rarely align perfectly. Our secure, climate-controlled storage facilities throughout DFW hold your belongings between move-out and delivery dates.

Short-Term & Long-Term Options: Store items for days, weeks, or months. Flexible storage contracts accommodate changing schedules, delayed home purchases, extended job training, or temporary housing situations.

Security Features: 24/7 video surveillance, individual unit locks, climate control preventing damage from Texas heat/humidity, pest control, and insurance coverage protecting stored items.

White-Glove & Specialty Services

Executive Relocation Services: Comprehensive concierge services for corporate executives and high-net-worth individuals—professional packing of entire homes, custom crating for artwork and antiques, vehicle shipping coordination, unpacking and home organization, debris removal, and priority scheduling.

Piano Moving: Specialized equipment and trained technicians for moving grand pianos, baby grands, uprights, and digital pianos across state lines. Custom crating, climate-controlled transport, and professional tuning coordination.

Antique & Fine Art Moving: Museum-quality packing using custom crates, climate-controlled transport, specialized handling, white-glove service, and coordination with art insurers.

Gun Safe Moving: Professional equipment and trained crews for moving gun safes weighing 500-2,000+ pounds safely across state lines without damaging safes, homes, or buildings.

Vehicle Shipping: Coordination with trusted auto transport partners for moving vehicles when driving them isn’t practical, ensuring your car arrives safely at your new destination.

The Long Distance Moving Process: What to Expect

Step 1: Free In-Home or Virtual Estimate

Detailed Inventory: We assess everything being moved—furniture, boxes, appliances, specialty items, and anything requiring special handling. Accurate inventories prevent surprises and ensure proper pricing.

Written Binding Estimate: We provide written, binding estimates detailing all charges. Unlike non-binding estimates (where final costs can increase dramatically), binding estimates guarantee your price.

Timeline Discussion: We discuss your preferred moving dates, delivery deadlines, and any flexibility. Peak season (May-September) requires earlier booking, while off-season offers more scheduling flexibility.

Answer All Questions: Estimates provide opportunities to ask about packing, insurance, payment, tracking, communication, and anything concerning you about your long distance move.

Step 2: Pre-Move Planning & Preparation

Packing Services or DIY: Choose full-service packing (we pack everything), partial packing (we pack fragile items, you pack clothing/books), or DIY packing (you pack everything). We provide guidance, packing materials, and tips for successful DIY packing.

Decluttering: Long distance moves charge by weight. Donate, sell, or discard items you don’t need, reducing moving costs significantly. We provide recommendations for Dallas-Fort Worth donation centers and disposal services.

Special Item Preparation: Electronics, appliances, safes, pianos, and valuable items require special preparation. We provide detailed instructions or offer professional preparation services.

Change of Address: Update addresses with USPS, banks, credit cards, insurance companies, IRS, voter registration, driver’s license, vehicle registration, and subscription services.

Step 3: Moving Day

Crew Arrival: Our uniformed, professional crew arrives within the scheduled window, introduces themselves, and explains the day’s process.

Final Walkthrough: We conduct final walkthroughs confirming nothing is missed, documenting pre-existing damage, and addressing last-minute questions.

Professional Loading: Crew members carefully load your belongings using proper techniques—heaviest items on bottom, weight distribution for safe transport, furniture pads on everything, strategic placement preventing shifting, and securing everything with straps and load bars.

Bill of Lading: The legal document listing your inventory, delivery address, charges, and liability coverage. Review it carefully and keep copies—it’s your proof of the moving contract.

Step 4: Transit & Communication

Regular Updates: We provide regular updates on your shipment’s location and estimated delivery timing. GPS tracking allows you to monitor progress.

Driver Communication: Direct communication with your driver for questions, schedule coordination, and delivery arrangements.

Safe Transport: Drivers follow federal Hours of Service regulations, ensuring they’re rested and alert. Route planning avoids unnecessary delays while prioritizing safe, careful transport.

Step 5: Delivery & Unloading

Delivery Window Communication: We coordinate delivery timing, confirming you or authorized representatives can receive the shipment.

Unloading & Placement: Crew members carefully unload your belongings, placing furniture and boxes in designated rooms per your direction.

Inspection: Check items as they’re unloaded, noting any damage on the delivery inventory. This protects your rights if filing insurance claims.

Final Payment: Payment upon delivery completion. We accept multiple payment methods and provide detailed receipts.

Post-Move Support: If issues arise or you have questions after delivery, our customer service team remains available to assist.


Long Distance Moving Tips: Dallas-Fort Worth Edition

8-12 Weeks Before Your Long Distance Move

Get Multiple Quotes: Contact 3-4 licensed long distance movers. Verify USDOT numbers at fmcsa.dot.gov. Beware of estimates significantly lower than others (red flag for scams or bait-and-switch). Check reviews on Google, Better Business Bureau, and moving review sites.

Research Your Destination: If moving from Dallas to Seattle, research neighborhoods, cost of living, climate differences, job markets, schools, transportation, and lifestyle changes before committing.

Create Moving Budget: Include moving costs, travel expenses (hotels, gas, flights), temporary housing, utility deposits, first/last month’s rent or mortgage, and emergency funds for unexpected expenses.

Declutter Ruthlessly: Long distance moves charge by weight. Donate, sell, or discard items you don’t need:

  • Dallas Furniture Bank (helping local families)
  • Goodwill North Texas (multiple locations)
  • Salvation Army (free pickup)
  • Facebook Marketplace
  • OfferUp, Craigslist
  • Nextdoor
  • Estate sales or garage sales

Notify Important Parties:

  • Employer (for tax/payroll address changes)
  • Children’s schools (request records transfer)
  • Healthcare providers (get referrals, medical records, prescriptions)
  • Insurance companies (auto, home, health, life)
  • Banks and credit cards
  • Investment and retirement accounts
  • Voter registration
  • Vehicle registration (Texas drivers have 30 days to update license in new state)
  • Professional licensing boards (doctors, lawyers, teachers, nurses, etc.)

6-8 Weeks Before Moving

Book Your Long Distance Movers: Peak season (May-September) books quickly. Reserve your moving date with deposit. Holiday weeks (Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day) are especially busy.

Gather Important Documents:

  • Birth certificates, passports, Social Security cards
  • Medical records, vaccination records, pet records
  • Financial documents, tax returns
  • Insurance policies
  • School transcripts
  • Vehicle titles and registration
  • Home purchase/lease documents
  • Employment contracts

Start Packing Non-Essentials:

  • Seasonal clothing
  • Books and decorative items
  • Garage/storage items
  • Rarely used kitchen items
  • Holiday decorations
  • Guest room items
  • Basement/attic items

Use Quality Packing Materials:

  • Small boxes for books and heavy items (max 50 lbs per box)
  • Medium boxes for general items
  • Large boxes for lightweight items (linens, pillows, lamp shades)
  • Dish pack boxes with dividers for kitchenware
  • Wardrobe boxes for hanging clothes (prevents wrinkles)
  • Specialty boxes (flat-screen TV boxes, mirror boxes, picture boxes)
  • Bubble wrap, packing paper, furniture pads
  • Quality packing tape (cheap tape fails during long moves)

Label Systematically:

  • Room destination
  • General contents
  • “Fragile” marking when appropriate
  • “Open First” for essentials box
  • Number all boxes and create detailed inventory list
  • Include your name and phone number on boxes

Plan Travel Logistics:

  • If driving to destination, plan route, book pet-friendly hotels, schedule rest stops

2-3 Weeks Before Moving

Confirm New Home Access:

  • Keys or access codes ready for delivery day
  • Parking arrangements at new location (especially important in cities with limited parking like San Francisco, Boston, NYC)

Take Photos:

Why Dallas-Fort Worth Residents Are Leaving (And Where They’re Going)

Texas Exodus Trends

While Dallas-Fort Worth remains one of America’s fastest-growing metropolitan areas, certain demographics increasingly relocate elsewhere for specific reasons:

Cost of Living Concerns: Although DFW remains affordable compared to coastal cities, rapid property tax increases, rising home prices, and increased cost of living push some residents to seek more affordable destinations like Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Kansas City, and smaller Texas cities.

Politics & Culture: Texas’s political climate motivates some residents to relocate to states aligning more closely with their values—liberals moving to Colorado, Washington, Oregon, or returning to California; conservatives seeking even more conservative states.

Career Opportunities: Specialized career fields sometimes require relocation—tech workers moving to Silicon Valley or Seattle, entertainment professionals to Los Angeles or New York, government careers to Washington DC, or energy careers to Houston.

Climate Preferences: Dallas-Fort Worth’s hot summers (100+ degree days, high humidity) drive relocations to milder climates—Pacific Northwest (Seattle, Portland), Colorado mountains, or Northern California.

Family Connections: Life events (aging parents, custody arrangements, family support systems) drive returns to hometowns or moves closer to extended family.

Retirement: Retirees relocate seeking lower taxes (Florida, Nevada, Washington), warmer winters (Arizona, Florida), outdoor recreation (Colorado, North Carolina), or beach lifestyles (California coast, Florida coast, South Carolina).

Remote Work Flexibility: COVID-19 normalized remote work, allowing Dallas-Fort Worth residents to move anywhere while maintaining jobs—many choosing lower cost-of-living areas, mountain towns, beach communities, or simply returning to their hometowns.

Popular Destinations for DFW Relocations

Based on our moving data, Dallas-Fort Worth residents most frequently move to:

  1. Austin, Texas (technology, lifestyle, culture)
  2. Houston, Texas (energy careers, medical opportunities)
  3. Phoenix, Arizona (retirement, warm weather, growing tech)
  4. Denver, Colorado (outdoor lifestyle, tech industry)
  5. Los Angeles, California (entertainment, career opportunities)
  6. Nashville, Tennessee (music industry, no income tax, culture)
  7. San Antonio, Texas (military, lower cost, retirement)
  8. Atlanta, Georgia (corporate jobs, lower cost)
  9. Seattle, Washington (tech careers, outdoor recreation)
  10. Portland, Oregon (culture, outdoor recreation, no sales tax)

Common Long Distance Moving Mistakes (And How to Avoid Them)

Hiring Unlicensed “Movers”

The Mistake: Booking movers based solely on low price without verifying licensing. Scam operations quote extremely low prices, then hold belongings hostage demanding thousands more, or disappear entirely with your possessions.

How to Avoid: ALWAYS verify USDOT numbers at fmcsa.dot.gov before hiring long distance movers. Check reviews, verify physical addresses (scams use P.O. boxes), and get everything in writing. If a quote seems too good to be true, it’s a scam.

Underestimating Packing Time

The Mistake: Assuming you’ll pack everything quickly, then frantically throwing items in boxes without protection at the last minute, resulting in damage during transport.

How to Avoid: Start packing 6-8 weeks before moving. Pack methodically—one room at a time, using proper materials, labeling clearly. Consider professional packing for peace of mind.

Not Decluttering Before Moving

The Mistake: Moving everything from your Dallas home, including items you haven’t used in years, paying hundreds or thousands extra to move junk, then disposing of it at your destination.

How to Avoid: Declutter ruthlessly 8-12 weeks before moving. If you haven’t used something in 12 months, you probably don’t need it. Donate, sell, or discard before movers arrive.

Inadequate Insurance Coverage

The Mistake: Accepting basic coverage ($0.60/lb), then discovering your damaged $2,000 couch is covered for $120 (if it weighs 200 lbs).

How to Avoid: Purchase full-value protection or third-party insurance for long distance moves. Basic coverage is inadequate for items traveling hundreds or thousands of miles.

Poor Communication with Movers

The Mistake: Not providing clear information about delivery addresses, access issues, parking restrictions, or special items, causing delays, damage, or additional charges.

How to Avoid: Communicate thoroughly during estimates and throughout the moving process. Provide detailed delivery information including parking arrangements, elevator availability, building restrictions, and special handling requirements.

Packing Prohibited Items

The Mistake: Packing hazardous materials (paint, chemicals, gasoline, propane, aerosols) in moving trucks. These items are federally prohibited—movers will refuse to transport them, or worse, they’ll cause fires or explosions.

How to Avoid: Review prohibited items lists, dispose of hazardous materials properly before moving day, and never hide prohibited items in boxes.

Not Updating Addresses

The Mistake: Forgetting to update addresses with crucial organizations, missing important bills, losing access to accounts, or encountering legal problems.

How to Avoid: Create comprehensive address change checklists 8-12 weeks before moving. Update addresses systematically with postal service, banks, insurance, utilities, subscriptions, and government agencies.

Booking Too Late

The Mistake: Waiting until weeks before moving to book movers during peak season, finding no availability or paying premium rates.

How to Avoid: Book long distance moves 8-12 weeks in advance, especially during peak season (May-September) or around holidays. Early booking ensures availability and often better pricing.


Long Distance Moving FAQs

Q: How much do long distance moves from Dallas-Fort Worth cost?

A: Long distance moving costs depend on distance, weight, services, and timing. Studio/1-bedroom moves to nearby states (Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, New Mexico) start around $1,200-2,000. 3-bedroom homes to California typically cost $10,000-16,000. We provide free, written, binding estimates detailing all charges.

Q: How long does a long distance move take?

A: Transit time depends on distance. DFW to Austin takes 1-2 days, Houston 1-2 days, Denver 2-3 days, California 4-7 days, New York 4-7 days, Seattle 5-8 days. Delivery windows (not specific times) account for weather, traffic, rest stops, and federal driver regulations.

Q: Can I track my belongings during transit?

A: Yes! We provide GPS tracking links monitoring your shipment’s location in real-time. Our dispatch center provides regular updates, and you have direct contact with your driver.

Q: What items can’t be moved across state lines?

A: Hazardous materials (paint, chemicals, gasoline, propane, aerosols, ammunition), perishable food, plants (many states prohibit importing plants), pets, and valuable items (jewelry, cash, important documents) should not be packed in moving trucks.

Q: Do I need to be present for pickup and delivery?

A: Yes, you or an authorized representative must be present for both pickup and delivery to sign documents, provide access, answer questions, and inspect belongings.

Q: How do I know if a moving company is legitimate?

A: Verify USDOT numbers at fmcsa.dot.gov, check BBB ratings, read Google reviews, verify physical addresses (scams use P.O. boxes), get everything in writing, and beware of unusually low quotes.

Q: Should I purchase additional insurance?

A: Yes! Basic coverage ($0.60/lb) is inadequate for long distance moves. Full-value protection covers items at replacement value—essential for furniture, electronics, and valuable belongings traveling hundreds or thousands of miles.

Q: Can movers transport my car?

A: We coordinate vehicle shipping with trusted auto transport partners, ensuring your car arrives safely at your destination when driving it isn’t practical.

Q: What happens if my belongings don’t fit in my new home?

A: We offer flexible storage solutions throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Climate-controlled facilities securely hold items until you’re ready for them, whether you need short-term storage during transitions or long-term solutions.

Q: Can you move gun safes across state lines?

A: Yes! We have specialized equipment and trained crews for moving gun safes weighing 500-2,000+ pounds safely across state lines without damaging safes, homes, or buildings. Gun safe moving requires expertise—improper handling damages safes, destroys flooring, injures workers, and breaches security.

Q: What payment methods do you accept?

A: We accept cash, checks, credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover), and can coordinate corporate billing for company-sponsored relocations. Final payment occurs upon delivery completion—never pay full amount before your belongings are unloaded.
