Route guide
Moving from Dallas to Houston
Dallas and Houston are two of Texas's largest metro areas, and people move between them for new jobs, often in Houston's energy and healthcare industries, or to be closer to family. The move stays in Texas, about 240 miles down I-45 past Corsicana and Huntsville, so it's a long-distance move rather than a local one.

Planning tips
Tips for your Dallas to Houston move
A few things worth planning early on this route.
- 01
Keep an eye on Houston rain
Houston gets heavy downpours, and low-lying streets can flood quickly. If a big storm is forecast for moving day, have a backup date in mind and store boxes off the garage floor.
- 02
Time it around I-45 traffic
Traffic on I-45 is heavy around both metros at rush hour, so loading and delivery times outside the peak make moving day easier. Share any building time limits when you book.
- 03
Share employer requirements early
If your employer is paying for the move, send their requirements, like inventory lists, billing details or approved services, when you request a quote so everything matches their policy.
