How far in advance should I book my Texas move?
Four to six weeks is ideal for most homes. For summer dates or a house with four or more bedrooms, reach out six to eight weeks ahead to secure your preferred pickup day.
Reliable Long Distance Movers
Texas is the number one destination for people leaving Arkansas, and it is also the state sending the most new residents to the Natural State. Young’s Moving Service runs this corridor in both directions. We load your home in Rogers, Bentonville, Fayetteville or Springdale, drive it south on our own truck and set it up in your new Texas address. Heading the other way? We bring Texans home to Northwest Arkansas with the same crew and the same care.
We are a female-founded, locally owned company in Rogers, voted Best Moving Company by readers of the NW Arkansas Democrat-Gazette for multiple years. When you book with us, the people who pack your kitchen are the people who unload it in Texas. Your belongings never sit in a broker’s warehouse waiting for a shared truck.

Popular Routes Between Northwest Arkansas and Texas
Every route has its own timing, traffic and building rules. Here is what our crews plan around on the trips we run most often.
| Route | Approx. Distance | Approx. Drive Time | Typical Delivery Window |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rogers / Bentonville to Dallas-Fort Worth | 320 to 350 miles | 5 to 6 hours | Next day delivery on most dedicated moves |
| Fayetteville to Austin | 500 to 520 miles | 8 to 9 hours | 1 to 2 days |
| Springdale to Houston | 540 to 570 miles | 8.5 to 9.5 hours | 1 to 2 days |
| Bella Vista to San Antonio | 590 to 620 miles | 9.5 to 10.5 hours | 2 days |
Drive times reflect a loaded moving truck, not a passenger car. Your coordinator confirms your exact delivery date in writing before move day.
Dallas-Fort Worth
DFW is our busiest Texas lane. Many of our customers are corporate transfers between Bentonville and the Dallas area, and we know how to work with apartment towers in Uptown, HOA rules in Frisco and McKinney, and gated communities in Southlake. We book freight elevators and loading docks ahead of time so your crew is not stuck waiting at the curb.
Houston
Houston moves call for weather planning. Summer storms roll in fast, so we wrap upholstered furniture and mattresses in plastic covers in addition to moving pads. We also plan arrival times around rush hour on I-45 and the 610 Loop to protect your delivery window.
Austin and San Antonio
Central Texas homes often mean tight streets, hillside driveways and newer build communities with strict truck hours. We confirm access details with you in advance and bring a smaller shuttle vehicle when a full-size truck cannot reach the door.
Moving From Texas to Northwest Arkansas
Thousands of Texans move to Northwest Arkansas every year for shorter commutes, lower housing costs and trail access right outside the door. If that is your plan, we pick up in Texas and deliver into Rogers, Bentonville, Fayetteville, Springdale, Bella Vista, Centerton, Lowell and the surrounding towns. Because we live here, we can tell you which neighborhoods have steep driveways, which HOAs require move-in notice and where parking a truck is simple.

How Much Do Arkansas to Texas Movers Cost?
Every quote is built around your home, so the only accurate price is the one we give you after reviewing your inventory. These are the factors that move the number up or down:
- Volume and weight. A one-bedroom apartment and a four-bedroom house need very different truck space and crew sizes.
- Distance. Dallas is roughly half the mileage of San Antonio, and fuel and drive hours follow that difference.
- Packing. Doing your own packing lowers the price. Full packing adds labor and materials but saves you days of work.
- Access. Stairs, long carries, elevators and shuttle trucks all add time.
- Timing. Summer weekends and the last few days of the month book up first. Midweek and mid-month dates usually cost less.
Our tip: book four to six weeks ahead for spring and summer moves. For more ways to save, read our guide to the best time to schedule a long-distance move.
