What are the best full-service movers from Dallas to Manchester?

Movers licensed to operate in New Hampshire are typically members of the New Hampshire Motor Transport Association, worth checking for before you book any of the three below.

  1. Safeway Moving (4.9/5 stars): Safeway Moving is the best overall value on this list. Flat-rate pricing, 24/7 customer support, and 30 days of free storage are included with every move.
  2. American Van Lines (4.9/5 stars): American Van Lines is the most experienced mover on this list, with 30+ years in business since 1995. AVL is one of the few national carriers that uses full-time in-house crews instead of contracted labor.
  3. Allied Van Lines (4.2/5 stars): Allied Van Lines is best for contents coverage, combining fragile-only packing, 24/7 shipment monitoring, and an optional full-value protection plan that covers damage, loss, and breakage.

Good to know: For moves over 500 miles, national carriers are typically lower-priced than local moving companies in Dallas, TX. At that distance, local movers often charge 30% - 40% more because they don't spread long-haul costs across multiple shipments the way national carriers do. If a direct route and faster delivery (averaging 2 days) are priorities, a local mover may be worth considering, but that service comes at a higher price.

Moving container costs from Dallas, TX to Manchester, NH

Moving containers from Dallas, Texas, to Manchester, New Hampshire, cost between $1,596 and $5,454. A container is delivered to your home and you load it on your own time. Loading windows vary by company: U-Haul gives you 3 days and PODS gives you 30. From there, the company takes over and transports it to Manchester. If you go over that window, storage in Dallas adds around $80/month.

Take a look at moving container pricing by home size from Dallas to Manchester:

  • Studio apartment / 1 bedroom: $1,596 - $3,077
  • 2 - 3 bedrooms: $1,940 - $4,266
  • 4+ bedrooms: $2,876 - $5,454

What other costs come with moving containers?

  • Moving labor: Because loading is on you with a container move, hourly labor help is a popular add-on. In Dallas, TX, two movers for roughly five hours costs around $731, according to moveBuddha data. Compare the best labor-only movers nationwide
  • Storage: After the first month, ongoing rental fees kick in. A small container (7 - 8 feet) averages about $78 per month, while a 12- to 16-foot unit runs around $157 per month.
  • Access: Most major container companies serve both Dallas, TX, and Manchester, NH, but confirm a facility is within reasonable distance if you need to retrieve items while in storage.
  • Added contents protection: Full-value protection provides broader coverage than the standard liability in your contract. It typically costs 1% - 2% of your declared shipment value, about $500 - $1,000 on $50,000 worth of belongings.

Every price below reflects an actual quote from a moveBuddha reader planning a Texas to New Hampshire move in the past 90 days. Our pricing data is drawn from 1,500+ monthly data points across our vetted mover network and refreshed every month.

Pro tip: Before ordering moving containers, take a careful inventory of everything you're moving. A typical 1-bedroom home weighs around 3,000 pounds and fits in a single container starting at $1,596. Underestimating and needing 1 - 2 additional containers can push your total to $1,940 - $4,266, so getting your count right upfront saves you from a costly surprise.

  • 2 - 3 bedrooms: $1,211 - $2,513
  • 4+ bedrooms: $1,452 - $3,263

Pro tip: Truck rental pricing for a move from Dallas to Manchester starts at $1,109 - $3,263, but that number does not tell the whole story. Fuel ($600 - $686) , overnight lodging ($157/night), meals, and equipment rentals are all separate. Plan for an additional $600 - $1,200 on top of your base rate to cover those costs.

What other costs come with rental trucks?

  • Gas: Fuel adds $600 - $686 for the 1,806-mile drive, depending on whether your rental truck runs on gas or diesel.

Freight trailer costs from Dallas, TX to Manchester, NH

Freight trailers are a solid option for larger DIY moves from Dallas, Texas, to Manchester, New Hampshire. Standard trailers run 28 feet long, and you're only charged for the portion you actually fill. The carrier drops the trailer off, you load it at your own pace, and they handle the drive to your new city.

Pricing is based entirely on the linear footage your shipment occupies, not the full trailer length. Most long-distance freight moves land somewhere between $940 and $3,347.

Take a look at freight trailer costs based on home size for moves from Dallas to Manchester:

  • Studio apartment / 1 bedroom: $1,380 - $2,743
  • 2 - 3 bedrooms: $1,601 - $3,347
  • 4+ bedrooms: $2,234 - $4,498

Pro tip: Freight trailers come with a 4-foot loading ramp, which can be a challenge with bulky furniture. With 8 feet of vertical space available, stacking efficiently often requires a ladder and a plan. Since you're billed per linear foot, packing tight can make a real difference in your final cost.

What other costs come with freight trailers?

  • Demand cycles: Trailer costs climb during peak moving season, especially from mid-May through mid-September when demand is at its highest.
  • More space: You're billed only for the linear feet you use, but underestimating your inventory means paying for extra space, typically around $78 - $157 more per foot.
  • Moving labor: Freight trailers don't include loading crews. Two movers in Dallas, Texas, for about five hours typically runs $731.

What are the best freight companies from Dallas to Manchester?

  1. MovingYourself (5/5 stars): MovingYourself is the pick for best for large moves. The company is well-regarded as a top moving container option for its load-it-yourself, we-drive-it model, and that same model makes it a strong freight option for larger homes that benefit from the company's 53-foot trucks and footage-based pricing.
  2. U-Pack (5/5 stars): U-Pack offers the best value freight trailer on this route. Alongside their flagship container service, U-Pack provides a top-notch freight trailer option that follows the same model: no deposits, no upfront fees, and pricing based on the linear footage you actually use.
  3. Hazel's Expedited Freight (4.62/5 stars): Hazel's Expedited Freight is the best locally owned freight company on this list. Locally owned and based facilities mean accessible support staff and area-specific scheduling flexibility that national-only freight carriers typically don't match.

Pro tip: If speed matters on your move from Dallas to Manchester, freight trailers are one of the fastest interstate options available, second only to renting a truck and driving it yourself. The tradeoff is that freight works best when you're ready to receive your belongings on the other end. If your timeline is tight on the receiving side or you need a short storage buffer, a moving container might be a better fit.

For families, Bedford, Hollis, and Amherst are worth a look in Manchester. If you're moving solo or without kids, Wilton, Bedford, and Amherst tend to be popular picks instead.

How long does a move from Dallas, TX to Manchester, NH take?

Full-service movers and container companies typically complete this route in 5 - 7 days, since carriers consolidate shipments heading the same direction.

Driving a rental truck yourself puts the schedule entirely in your hands.

What do local movers charge in Dallas?

Local movers based in Dallas typically start around $179 as a base rate, plus $60/hour per mover.

Cutting 500 pounds from your shipment, roughly one bedroom's worth of items, saves approximately $200 - $400 on a full-service move on this route. Beyond that, staying organized matters just as much. A solid moving checklist keeps you on schedule and helps you avoid costly last-minute mistakes.
