I-45 is about as direct as a Texas-triangle lane gets, and it is the reason the Houston-to-Dallas run sits near the top of the All Some Movers schedule. Damon Pierce has booked this one steadily since the early years, and we keep it on our own equipment the whole way. Pickup happens wherever you sit across the four counties, our people drive the 240 miles north past Huntsville and Corsicana, and those same people set the last box down in your Dallas-Fort Worth home. You will not see a relay driver swap in, a warehouse hold your things overnight, or a metroplex outfit show up to finish what we started.
Who books the All Some lane north to Dallas
Plenty of reasons send a Houston household up to DFW, and the office hears the same handful again and again:
- An energy or corporate transfer leaving the Energy Corridor or Westchase for a role in Plano, Frisco, or downtown Dallas
- A young couple swapping a Midtown or Montrose high-rise for the extra square footage you get in Irving or Arlington
- Parents trading a master-planned house in Katy or The Woodlands for one nearer family in the metroplex
- A Texas Medical Center renter chasing a contract north, shipping a one-bedroom up the interstate
| Leg | Detail |
|---|---|
| Distance | About 240 miles |
| Highway | I-45 north through Huntsville and Corsicana |
| Drive time | Close to 3 hours 45 minutes |
| Pickup | Harris, Fort Bend, Montgomery, or Brazoria county |
It is the Houston pickup that shapes the schedule, not the interstate
✓ Our own trucks, movers on the All Some payroll
- Ring us and Damon or another All Some staffer answers in person, never a rented call floor
- Whatever the contract reads is what you hand over at the curb — no move-day surcharges, no inflated line items.
- A single All Some crew packs, loads and unloads from start to finish
- Every load carries $1M in coverage, and your high-rise or HOA office gets its COI the same day
- If something goes wrong, Damon reviews the claim himself, and it never leaves our office
× Broker chain
- Anything you submit elsewhere lands in a call floor and gets resold to the next low bidder.
- A delivery-day bill quietly fattened with surprise “add-ons”
- A truck you do not recognize shows up with a crew of total strangers
- COI and building paperwork you wind up tracking down on your own
- Damage claims brushed off with a “that was another contractor” line
Past the city line, I-45 north asks very little of a driver. What earns its keep is everything that happens before the truck rolls. We aim for an early start to slip the Loop, Beltway 8, and Grand Parkway gridlock and to finish loading before one of those afternoon storms blows in off the Gulf. Leaving a tower downtown, in the Galleria, or by the Medical Center? Your certificate of insurance gets filed under the building’s exact name and the freight elevator goes on reserve before our people walk in. Heading out of a gated stretch of Cypress or Sugar Land instead? We collect the gate code and confirm the HOA move hours so the guard at the entrance waves the truck through. And on a third-floor garden-apartment walk-up with no elevator, we chart the stair route so the parking spot holds the whole time.
With the home padded and ratcheted for the pull, the driver works clear of the I-610 Loop, gets on I-45, and rides it through Huntsville and Corsicana into the metroplex. A studio through a three-bedroom fits our standard truck; only a stuffed four-bedroom needs the bigger rig, which keeps your whole household on one trip to Dallas.
The 240 miles are the easy part; the doorways are not
Open road to DFW almost never trips us up. What can is a Galleria condo locked to a short elevator slot, or a gated Plano subdivision that only allows moves inside set hours. All Some carries Texas authority along with USDOT and MC authority, so the whole run counts as one regulated job with $1M in cargo coverage that attaches the instant we shut the doors in Houston. Our people, our trucks, and not one carton ever changes hands in Dallas.
What the flat All Some rate looks like on the Dallas run
You get a single number, in writing, before anyone shows up to load:
- Count on roughly $650 to $1,050 for a one-bedroom, $1,050 to $1,750 for a two-bedroom, and $1,750 to $2,850 for a three-bedroom, each band committed to paper before load day
- The crew that carries everything down in Houston is the crew that carries it up in Dallas-Fort Worth
- $1M in federal cargo protection stays on your belongings the length of I-45
- Smaller jobs can run by the hour instead: $120/hr for two movers, $165/hr for three, $215/hr for four
Ring Damon’s office at (888) 711-4778 for a written figure on your Houston-to-Dallas move. We commit both the date and the dollar amount to paper before a single carton leaves the four counties.
