Trusted by Texas Families Since 2003
Punctual, good and professional. Condor Moving System is my go-to moving guys now. Fairly priced for the level of professional moving service they provide to their customers. They were very good in communication to me and among themselves. I have had many bad experiences with multiple movers before it. Condor is the first ever company that I found nobody to complain about, which is maybe a pretty rare thing to say about relocators.Thomas C Davison
Movers did a great moving job even though it was a not smooth and it's a very long job. Best value for the money we spend. They stayed professional and were kind throughout the move process. They recognized my items and if I needed to change the things, they did it for me rapidly. Very friendly teamwork. Will surly use them again!Denis Tanney
These movers did a best job even though it was a tough and time taking job. Best value for the money it cost. Stayed professional and were helpful throughout the day of move. Honored my goods and if I required things changed they did it for me in little time. Very coordinated teamwork. Will definitely use them again for coming movers!Marks Josephine
Moving Between Texas and Tennessee Since 2003
Condor Moving Systems is a licensed interstate mover that handles household and office relocations between Texas and Tennessee in both directions.
Tennessee is a mid-length lane — mostly a straight run east on I-40 from Dallas–Fort Worth, or up through Arkansas from Houston. Memphis sits right on the state line and Nashville about 200 miles past it, so where you are landing changes the trip considerably. Your shipment is inventoried and tagged at pickup, travels on our equipment, and is delivered by a crew working from that same inventory.
Condor operates from locations in Fort Worth and Houston and serves the entire state of Texas, running its own trucks and crews rather than subcontracted labor.
What we handle on this route:
- Household moves, Texas to Tennessee
- Household moves, Tennessee to Texas
- Full and partial packing
- Custom crating for art, mirrors and glass
- Office and corporate relocation
- Storage in transit between dates
- Specialty items and difficult pieces
- Full inventory with numbered tags
How Far Is It From Texas to Tennessee?
A Texas to Tennessee move covers roughly 450 to 1,000 miles depending on which Texas city you leave and whether you are heading for Memphis, Nashville or East Tennessee. Interstate moves are scheduled with a delivery spread rather than a single guaranteed date, because a trailer carries more than one household. Your estimate states the window for your specific route and dates.
| Route | Approx. driving distance | Main corridor |
|---|---|---|
| Dallas–Fort Worth → Memphis | 450 miles | I-30 to I-40 |
| Dallas–Fort Worth → Nashville | 660 miles | I-30 to I-40 |
| Houston → Memphis | 585 miles | US 59 / I-40 |
| Houston → Nashville | 790 miles | I-45 to I-40 |
| Austin → Nashville | 870 miles | I-35 to I-40 |
| San Antonio → Nashville | 950 miles | I-35 to I-40 |
| Dallas–Fort Worth → Knoxville | 840 miles | I-30 to I-40 |
| Dallas–Fort Worth → Chattanooga | 770 miles | I-30 to I-24 |
Distances are approximate driving miles and will vary with routing, weather and road conditions. Transit time is quoted per shipment.
How Much Does It Cost to Move From Texas to Tennessee?
An interstate move is priced on the weight or volume of your shipment plus mileage — not by the hour. That is the key difference from a local move. A crew billed hourly has an incentive to work slowly; a shipment priced on weight and distance does not, which is why interstate moves are quoted this way.
What Determines Your Price
- Weight or volume of the shipment
- Distance between origin and destination
- Packing services, full or partial
- Packing materials and custom crating
- Specialty items such as pianos or safes
- Stairs, elevators and long carries at either end
- Shuttle service where a tractor-trailer cannot reach
- Storage in transit, if dates do not line up
- Valuation coverage you select
- Time of year and date flexibility
How to Keep the Cost Down
- Purge before the estimate, not after — you pay to move weight
- Book outside the May to August peak if you can
- Give a flexible delivery window rather than a fixed date
- Pack what you reasonably can yourself
- Take an accurate inventory so the estimate is not padded
- Sort out condo and HOA paperwork early to avoid a wasted trip
- Ask about consolidating with another shipment on the same lane
- Measure oversized furniture against the new doorways first
Interstate household moves are regulated by the FMCSA. Condor provides the federal Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move booklet with interstate estimates, and your written estimate shows the expected charges before loading day.
What to Expect Delivering in Tennessee
Tennessee deliveries turn on terrain and on how fast the Nashville metro is being built. Hills, gated subdivisions, historic districts and new construction all shape how a delivery day runs. Here is what we plan for.
Hills & Steep Driveways
Middle and East Tennessee are hill country. Homes in Brentwood, Franklin, the Nashville hills and across Knoxville frequently sit on steep, curved or long driveways with overhanging trees that a loaded tractor-trailer cannot climb or turn around on. Where that is the case we shuttle in with a smaller truck, quoted upfront.
Nashville New Construction
Williamson and Rutherford counties are building fast, and deliveries into new homes in Franklin, Nolensville, Spring Hill and Murfreesboro often meet unfinished streets, no curb cut or a certificate of occupancy that has not landed. Tell us if your home is new build so the schedule carries some slack.
Downtown Nashville Buildings
The Gulch, SoBro, Germantown and downtown condo towers require a certificate of insurance naming the building, a reserved service elevator and a booked loading dock window. Broadway-area streets also close for events with little notice. Send us the building requirements with your estimate request.
Historic Districts
East Nashville, Germantown, parts of Franklin and Memphis’s Cooper-Young and Central Gardens have narrow streets, alley loading and homes with no driveway. Expect a curb stop and a longer carry, and in some cases a shuttle from a staging point nearby.
Storm Season & Flooding
Tennessee sits in an active severe weather corridor, with tornado risk concentrated in spring and again in late autumn, and river flooding a recurring issue in Middle Tennessee. Conditions are watched ahead of your date and a move is rescheduled rather than driven into an active warning.
Summer Heat & Humidity
Tennessee summers are hot and humid, and cardboard left standing on a damp driveway fails quickly. Crews start early where they can, and heat-sensitive belongings — electronics, artwork, candles, vinyl records — are handled with that in mind.

How an Interstate Move Works
- Step 1
Survey
An in-home or virtual walkthrough of every room, closet, garage and attic, so the estimate is built on your actual inventory.
- Step 2
Written Estimate
You receive the expected charges in writing, with packing, materials, access and any shuttle itemized rather than added later.
- Step 3
Schedule Locked
On approval we reserve the crew and equipment, confirm your delivery window and start on any condo or HOA paperwork.
- Step 4
Pack & Load
Everything is padded, inventoried and tagged. You get a copy of the inventory before the trailer leaves.
- Step 5
Delivery in Tennessee
We check the shipment in against that same inventory, place furniture in the rooms you designate and reassemble what we took apart.

Texas to Tennessee Moving FAQ
How much does it cost to move from Texas to Tennessee?
An interstate move from Texas to Tennessee is priced on the weight or volume of your shipment plus the mileage, not by the hour. Distance varies a lot on this lane — Dallas–Fort Worth to Memphis is about 450 miles while San Antonio to Nashville is closer to 950. Access matters too, since many Middle and East Tennessee homes sit on steep driveways that need a shuttle. Condor provides a written estimate showing the expected charges before your shipment is loaded.
How long does a move from Texas to Tennessee take?
Dallas–Fort Worth to Memphis is about 450 miles and to Nashville about 660, mostly a straight run east on I-40. From Houston or San Antonio, add 150 to 300 miles. Interstate moves are scheduled with a delivery spread rather than a single guaranteed date. Your estimate states the window for your specific route and dates.
Can a moving truck get up my Tennessee driveway?
Often not, and it is worth checking early. Homes across Brentwood, Franklin, the Nashville hills and Knoxville frequently sit on steep, curved or tree-lined driveways that a loaded tractor-trailer cannot climb or turn around on. Where that is the case the shipment is shuttled in with a smaller truck, quoted upfront rather than added on the day.
Does my Nashville condo need a certificate of insurance?
Usually yes. Buildings in the Gulch, SoBro, Germantown and downtown typically require a certificate of insurance naming the building, a reserved service elevator and a booked loading dock window. Downtown streets also close for events at short notice. Send us the building requirements when you request your estimate.
Which Tennessee cities does Condor deliver to?
Condor delivers throughout Tennessee, including Nashville, Franklin, Brentwood, Murfreesboro, Spring Hill, Hendersonville, Mount Juliet, Clarksville, Memphis, Germantown, Collierville, Bartlett, Knoxville, Farragut, Maryville, Chattanooga, Johnson City, Kingsport and Jackson.
Is Condor Moving Systems licensed for interstate moves?
Yes. Condor Moving Systems operates under USDOT 1126171 and MC 458180 for interstate moves and TxDMV 006041428C within Texas. Interstate household moves are regulated by the FMCSA, and Condor provides the federal Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move booklet with interstate estimates.
What if my Tennessee home is not ready when my shipment arrives?
Condor offers storage in transit for gaps between move-out and move-in, which comes up often on this lane given how much new construction is going up around Nashville. Your goods stay inventoried so the same shipment is redelivered without a second full pack. Tell your moving consultant if your closing date is uncertain.
