The Ontrack advantage
Tech Corridor: Phoenix to Dallas
Dallas is the fourth-largest metro in the United States and a major hub for technology, finance, telecommunications, and corporate headquarters. Whether you are making a residential move to Frisco's booming master-planned communities, relocating for Texas Instruments, AT&T, or Toyota in Plano, or joining a team at Southwest Airlines in Dallas, we handle the logistics of the 1,065-mile I-10/I-20 corridor so you can focus on the transition.
Ontrack Moving® owns the trucks and employs the crews rather than reselling the job. As a dedicated long-distance moving carrier, the Ontrack truck loaded at your home in Chandler is the truck that delivers to your Highland Park home. One company. One truck. One point of accountability.
Direct Carrier, Not a Broker
Our trucks, our crews, your belongings. No hand-offs to unknown subcontractors. The same Ontrack carrier that loads your home in Phoenix unloads it in Dallas.
Flat-Rate Pricing
Your estimate is based on a detailed inventory, not hourly billing or weight. Stair access is priced into the estimate up front rather than added on the day.
Climate-Controlled Storage
Our Peoria warehouse offers climate-controlled storage if your move-out and move-in dates do not align. Store your items in climate-controlled conditions while you wait for your Dallas closing date.

Carrier vs. Broker: Why It Matters for Long-Distance Moves
Direct carrier service, not warehouse handoffs. Your shipment rides on Ontrack trucks with Ontrack crews.
| Factor | Ontrack (Carrier) | Moving Brokers |
|---|---|---|
| Carrier Continuity | Same Ontrack carrier from Phoenix to Dallas | May be transferred between carriers or warehouses |
| Who moves your items? | Direct-Hire Continuity: Ontrack handles hiring, training, and vetting the crew assigned to your move | Carrier assigned by the broker |
| Liability & Insurance | Direct coverage under our USDOT #2551548 | Claims may involve both broker and carrier |
| Price Transparency | Flat-rate quote based on inventory, transparent pricing | Quote may change once a carrier is assigned |
| Delivery Window | Target delivery window with direct communication | Wide delivery windows are common |
| Accountability | One company, one point of responsibility | Responsibility split between broker and carrier |
Ontrack is a licensed interstate carrier (USDOT #2551548, MC #889001). Your shipment travels on one dedicated Ontrack truck with no transfer to another carrier.
Unique to this route
The West Texas Stretch: 600 Miles of Open Road
The Phoenix to Dallas corridor includes over 600 miles of West Texas between El Paso and Fort Worth, a remote stretch of interstate highway.
The time-zone changes (Arizona MST, New Mexico MST with DST, Texas CST with DST) are accounted for in delivery windows.
Permian Basin Wind Management
I-20 through the Permian Basin can be windy across flat terrain. Our drivers watch conditions on this stretch.
Rest Stop Planning
We plan rest stops that comply with DOT hours-of-service requirements. The route is broken into manageable segments: Phoenix to Tucson (115 mi), Tucson to El Paso (about 320 mi), El Paso to Van Horn (120 mi), Van Horn to Fort Worth (480 mi), Fort Worth to Dallas (35 mi).
Time Zone Changes on the Route
Arizona does not observe daylight saving time, creating a scheduling puzzle for moves between Phoenix and Dallas. Your move coordinator handles all time zone math so your delivery window is communicated in Dallas time (CST/CDT). Delivery windows are targets, not guarantees: weather, mechanical issues and federal DOT driver-hours rules can shift a long route.
Key Waypoints on the I-10/I-20 Corridor
- Tucson, AZ: I-10 through southern Arizona
- Las Cruces, NM: I-10 through southern New Mexico
- El Paso, TX: last major stop before the I-20 junction near Kent
- Midland-Odessa, TX: Permian Basin
- Abilene, TX: midpoint rest
- Fort Worth, TX: I-20/I-30 junction
- Dallas, TX: destination

Who we help
Common Phoenix to Dallas Relocations
Dallas is driven by technology, finance, telecommunications, and aerospace. We move the professionals who power these industries, with dedicated support for office relocations requiring phased transition planning.
Tech Industry
Engineers, product managers, and executives relocating for Texas Instruments, AT&T, Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, and the growing North Texas tech corridor. Many settle in Plano, Richardson, or Frisco for proximity to the Telecom Corridor and Legacy West. Our executive relocation guide covers the details of corporate-level moves.
Corporate Relocations
Both Phoenix and Dallas host Fortune 500 headquarters. Major employers in the area include Toyota (Plano), Charles Schwab (Westlake), McKesson, and Kimberly-Clark, and when an employer's HR team or relocation company is involved, we coordinate with them. Our commercial moving team handles delivery scheduling, COI documentation, and temporary storage.
No State Income Tax Movers
Texas has no state income tax (Arizona has a 2.5% flat rate), and many households also weigh Dallas's lower cost of living in suburban communities. Our senior moving specialists also coordinate retirement relocations along this corridor.
Growing Families
Families relocating for Dallas's master-planned communities in Frisco, McKinney, and Prosper. We move everything from apartment moves to five-bedroom estates.

Phenomenal help with an out-of-state move
We had the absolute pleasure of Gabriel plus Jair and Riki join us on Saturday to help with our move. These guys were PHENOMENAL!!... Moving house SUCKS and it's so hard, the team were with us bright and early on Saturday morning and in 5 hours they had cleared out our house and most of our garage and got it all packed into our moving pods. Up and down stairs with heavy furniture: we simply would not have been able to get this done by ourselves... On top of that, they were all super friendly and nice... We are moving out of state so we won't have a chance to use them again.

Professional handling of a multi-stop move
I had a small, but difficult move to do with two stops needed between storage and the new place... The crew that came were amazingly professional! They met with me, did a walkthrough to designate what was going to which location. Packed it all up properly and even showed me how they pack trickier items that no longer had their boxes... Both instances of unloading was smooth, gentle, and without issue. They even helped me reorganize my storage unit so everything fit better with the new furniture.

Accurate estimate and careful crew
We had a great experience from start to finish. We were quoted an accurate estimate from the beginning... The movers packed everything carefully and followed instructions regarding what was staying and what was going to the storage unit. We were unexpectedly out of our home while repairs were completed for over two months. On Track was able to send a crew on short notice to move everything back to our home... None of our belongings were damaged in the move. We did not go over the estimated cost for the move.
