Carrollton to Austin is a straight shot down I-35 South, about 210 miles through Waco and Temple before the hills around Round Rock signal you are close. Our truck leaves the DFW suburbs, drops onto I-35E through Dallas, and stays on the interstate the whole way to the capital. It is a single travel day for nearly every load we book on this corridor.
Most of our Austin customers are chasing tech and software work, the music scene, or a startup that pulled them south. Others are leaving the DFW sprawl for the lakes and greenbelts. Either way, they want a move that does not eat their whole week, since the new job usually starts fast.
We keep it that simple. The crew that packs and loads in Carrollton is the same crew that drives I-35 and sets your furniture down in Austin. There is no warehouse stop, no shared trailer, and no separate delivery team showing up days later wondering where your couch went.
What the I-35 drive to Austin really looks like
The catch on this route is rarely the distance. It is the traffic, since I-35 through Austin is one of the most congested stretches in Texas. We plan arrival times around it and dodge the worst of the afternoon crush. In summer we load heat-sensitive pieces early, because a 100-degree afternoon in Central Texas is hard on furniture and harder on the crew.
