Wichita Falls, TX → Dallas, TX · Short-haul move
About 150 road miles heading southeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $2,080–$3,090, delivery in 1–2 days, 41 carriers on the Wichita Falls side and 3,665 in Dallas.
The route from Wichita Falls, TX to Dallas, TX covers roughly 150 miles by road, a southeast-bound trip that falls into the short-haul move category for pricing purposes.
Because the two cities are close together, most companies quote this move by the hour: a crew of two to four movers plus a truck, with the drive of about 3 h 17 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $2,080 and $3,090, before packing or storage.
On the Wichita Falls side there are 41 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (13 of them authorized for interstate work), and 3,665 around Dallas (1,566 interstate). For an in-state move you can book from either end; movers near the origin handle loading and are usually the better first call, while a destination-side company can be useful if you need storage or delivery-day help in Dallas.
Wichita Falls has a population of about 101,951 and Dallas about 1.3 million. Dallas is the denser city (3,841 people per square mile versus 1,421 in Wichita Falls), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

About 150 road miles (127 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 3 h 17 min.
Expect a delivery window of 1 to 2 days after pickup. Carriers give a spread rather than a fixed date because long-distance trucks carry several shipments; a dedicated truck or expedited service shortens the window for an extra fee.
No. Because both Wichita Falls and Dallas are in Texas, this is an intrastate move regulated by the state rather than the FMCSA. Still, choosing a carrier with an active USDOT number is the easiest way to confirm the company is a registered motor carrier with insurance on file.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $300 to $430 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,150 to $1,700. Both save money versus a full-service crew but you do the loading, and container transit can take longer than a mover's delivery window.
Rates are highest in summer and around the last days of any month, when demand peaks. Mid-month, mid-week and winter dates are usually quoted below the standard rate. Booking four to eight weeks ahead gives you the widest choice of carriers on the Wichita Falls–Dallas corridor.
