No obligation · straight to our McKinney office
Houston sits about 250 miles southeast of our McKinney yard. We pick up US-75 out of Collin County, cut over to I-45 south of Dallas, and settle into a four-hour drive that runs mostly flat and mostly straight — the only real variable is Houston’s inner-loop traffic once you’re inside Beltway 8, which is why Colton Marsh times Houston unloads for mid-morning or early afternoon rather than fighting rush hour with a loaded truck.
A good share of our Houston bookings trace back to the energy sector — a corporate transfer to a refining or exploration company headquartered on the Gulf Coast, or a spouse taking a position tied to the Texas Medical Center, the largest medical complex in the world. We also move retirees the other direction, out of Houston’s heat and traffic and up into Collin County for the slower pace and the school districts. The freight tends to run heavier on this route than most — Houston homes run bigger, and the humidity means we wrap upholstered furniture a little more carefully than we would for a shorter, drier trip.
Whoever shows up for the estimate in McKinney is the crew riding the truck to Houston. Lead crew chief Deshawn Ruiz keeps the same four to six guys on a job start to finish — nobody hands your boxes to a second crew waiting at a Houston warehouse, because there is no second crew.
Founder Everett Doyle built the company around closing the gap between quoted and actual cost to zero, and a 250-mile trip is exactly where that discipline gets tested — long routes are where lowball phone quotes turn into surprise charges. Our number doesn’t move once it’s in writing.
Good questions
McKinney moving questions, answered
How long does the McKinney to Houston move take?
The drive itself runs about four hours on US-75 and I-45. Add loading and unloading, and most Houston moves take one full day for a typical home, two days for larger households with a lot of furniture.
Do you subcontract any part of a Houston move?
No. Delta One owns its trucks and employs its crews directly — no leased trucks, no day-labor pickup crew at the Houston end. The same people who load in McKinney unload in Houston.
How is pricing calculated for a route this long?
We quote a flat number based on an in-home or video walkthrough — cubic footage, stairs, elevators, and any specialty items like a piano or a gun safe — rather than charging a shifting hourly rate that penalizes longer drives. What we quote is what you pay.
Why McKinney books us
Why choose Delta One Moving Companies?
One dedicated crew runs your move from the first call to the last box off the truck, in our own trucks, and the invoice matches what we told you on the phone.
Zero Gap, Every Invoice
The number you sign before move day is the number we collect after it — no add-on for a stuck elevator, a triple-digit afternoon, or extra padding on the truck.
Our Trucks, Our Payroll
Every hand on your load is a W-2 employee in our uniform — we don’t fill trucks with day-labor crews or pass your move to a subcontractor down the line.
Texas-Registered & Covered
Current Texas household-goods registration, cargo coverage riding on every haul, and a certificate of insurance to your HOA or property manager the same day you ask for one.
We Know These Streets
US-75 backing up solid on the Plano-to-McKinney commute, the narrow drives around the historic Downtown Square, a fresh subdivision off the US-380 corridor where the street signs just went in — all of it gets mapped out before your crew ever touches the truck.
A Real Person Answers
Call and a real McKinney office employee picks up — never an overseas script-reader. We hold to the arrival window we quote, and rebooking your date never comes with a penalty.
Long-distance
Where we drive out of McKinney
The same crew that loads your truck in McKinney drives it and unloads it at the destination — no swapping trucks, no layover on somebody else’s dock.
Treated like it’s ours
What happens to your things on the truck
Wrapped before it leaves the room
Every sofa, table, and dresser gets blanket-wrapped and shrink-filmed while it’s still sitting where you left it — nothing goes down the hallway bare.
Floors and door frames get covered first
Down go the floor runners and padding on every door jamb before a single box moves, so the walk out and the walk in both stay mark-free.
Beds and tables come apart and go back together
Cribs, dining tables, and bed frames get broken down for the ride and reassembled at the new place — you don’t touch a screwdriver.
Fragile items ride alone
Mirrors, artwork, glassware, and electronics get their own dedicated cartons with corner protection — never wedged between the couch cushions.
The truck does the lifting
Straps, dollies, and ramps take the weight of the heavy pieces, so nothing gets dragged, dropped, or muscled up a staircase.
Same hands, start to finish
Whoever wraps the first box is still there setting down the last one — no new faces show up partway through your move.

How it works
Three steps, no drama
01
Tell us the basics
Call in or use the site form with your starting ZIP, destination ZIP, and roughly how many rooms are moving. That’s enough for a firm number back the same day — no home visit needed, no charge just for asking.
02
Lock in your date
Once you confirm, that truck and crew are booked under your name for the day. Need paperwork sent to a property manager or HOA first? We handle that before move day gets here.
03
We show up and close the gap
Your crew shows up inside the promised window, pads and wraps everything that needs it, and the total on the invoice matches your quote — nothing extra tacked on.
Ready to lock in your date?
We handle every load like it’s our own stuff riding in the truck — a single price, a single crew, no substitutions midway through. Tell us where you’re headed and you’ll have a firm number back before the day is out.
