Houston sits where I-10 and I-45 cross, so the long hauls out of town are routine for us. The crew that loads your house is the crew that unloads it at the other end, and the binding rate is set before the truck rolls. Here are the routes we run most.
- Houston to Austin — About 165 miles on US-290, usually a same-day move.
- Houston to Dallas — About 240 miles up I-45, the busiest corridor in the state.
- Houston to San Antonio — About 197 miles west on I-10, a clean single-interstate run.
One crew from your door to the destination
The thing that goes wrong on most long-distance moves is the handoff — your stuff gets loaded by one outfit, trucked by another, and unloaded by strangers, and nobody owns the damage. We do not work that way. Big Heart loads, drives, and unloads with our own people and our own trucks, so one company stays accountable from pickup to delivery.
The Texas routes at a glance
| Route | Distance | Loaded drive time | Regulation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Houston → Austin | 165 miles (US-290) | ~2h 45m | Texas intrastate |
| Houston → San Antonio | 197 miles (I-10 W) | ~3h | Texas intrastate |
| Houston → Dallas | 240 miles (I-45 N) | ~3h 30m | Texas intrastate |
In-state runs like these stay under Texas intrastate rules, and most home loads deliver the same day.
Beyond Texas
We are not boxed in to the three routes above. From the I-10/I-45 crossing we run regular long hauls to Denver, Atlanta, New Orleans, and out to both coasts, and we hold the state and federal authority interstate moves require. Cross-country deliveries land in roughly:
- Under 500 miles (Texas and the neighboring states) — 2 to 5 business days
- 500 to 1,500 miles (the Southeast and Midwest) — 5 to 10 business days
- Over 1,500 miles (the coasts) — 10 to 18 business days
Tell us where you are headed and what is coming with you, and we put a binding written price and a delivery window in your hands before you commit to anything. Don’t see your destination? Ask — if it is on a road out of Houston, we probably run it.
