Moved our daughter from NJ to Philadelphia. picked them based on reviews and they did not disappoint. Communication was great several reminders sent prior to move. Adam & Alex arrived on time they handled my daughter’s belongings with great care as they loaded items on the truck. The transition went very smoothly. The price was just right for the amount of time to move items. They were very friendly and polite. I would highly recommend!
I cannot recommend WellKnown enough. The team arrived early, packed quickly, and graciously moved all of my things into my new 5th floor walkup without a single complaint.

Who drives your furniture from Philadelphia to Dallas matters on a 1,465-mile trip, and here it is WellKnown Moving's own crew in a truck with the WellKnown name on it, under USDOT #4224986 and MC-1633615. No broker sells your job to another company. Most of the road is I-81, I-40 and then I-30 into Texas. Federal rules let a truck driver drive 11 hours at most after 10 hours off duty, so a trip this long takes more than one legal workday, and your estimate gives delivery as a window. The price is a binding flat rate, set from the inventory you confirm before booking. The estimate starts at $2,900 for a studio, and a two-bedroom apartment is estimated at $4,200 to $5,900. That rate pays for the crew and the truck, the fuel, every toll, basic liability coverage, shrink wrap and furniture pads, plus taking beds apart and putting them back together. If we damage something, we normally pay close to what the item was actually worth. Most moves on this route need no deposit and are paid once everything is delivered; only a large home, like a four-bedroom house, holds its date with about 10%. Philadelphia wants at least four business days for a Temporary No Parking permit, so apply before you lock the date, then send us a room-by-room list and the permit dates.
Life in Dallas
Dallas is a fast-growing city with lots to see and do. You can visit places like the Dallas Museum of Art, the Perot Museum, or cheer on local sports teams like the Cowboys or Mavericks.
Traffic on I-635 and US-75 can be slow during busy hours, but the city has many highways and a growing public transit system (DART). If you want more space or a quieter area, neighborhoods like Richardson, Carrollton, and Garland are good options with easy access to downtown.
No matter why you're moving—job, lifestyle, or family—Dallas is ready for you. And we’re ready to help you move there.

Thanks to Alex, Anvar, Artem and Ilya our move went off without a hitch. They were professional and efficient. What hard workers! I highly recommend this company in making your move!
Great moving service. The actual movers crew were very efficient and professional. Though the scheduling team didnt plan properly to allow them enough time with the moves and so they were many hours late, the actual crew was amazing. The fact that they had a bigger move job in the morning and it delayed them before my move they didn't show that when helping with my move. Thanks to the crew so much! The office and scheduling team needs to be better though. Because my move window was for three hours and I waited over half that time before calling to see when they were coming and the office was not even sure. They should be checking with the crew and if behind schedule, which happens all the time with moves so it's understandable, but you need to inform your clients and customers. You cant just say i dont know and not be apologetic or offer to get it sorted. However again the crew was great and i highly recommend and will use them again probably for my next move.
Just had Arthur, Alex and Miras moce my apartment in west Philly. Everything went swimmingly and they’re fast. Highly recommend.
Kimmi and Alex were amazing!! I had other friends who moved around similar times as me and they used a different moving company but they had horrible experiences. Kimmi and Alex handled everything and made this move a breeze. A downside for me was the large window of time when they could arrive and start the move, but that's just because I love a tight schedule so it is no reason not to still give y'all 5 stars. As a girl who lives in Philly without any family, Kimmi and Alex handled my things with care and were better than if my family was moving my things. They unfortunately were unable to mount my TV at my new apartment due to not having a tool to check for electrical, but I don't mind because I don't even have my wifi set up yet so I can't use it anyway. I could not recommend WellKnown Moving Co more! When it comes to moving in Philly, based off my friend's experience with their moving companies, WellKnown Moving Co is the only way to go!
Did a short move (under a mile) but with a lot of things. Tyler and Alex were super prepared, knew exactly how to pack the things I listed in advance, and got everything done quick as can be. I've been very stressed out over moving, and they helped everything go incredibly smooth!
Nagiz and Kurmanbek were so helpful and amazing!!!!!! They did it so quick too.
Nagiz and Kurmanbek did a great job, everything went quick and they took great care of our items. Would definitely recommend.
Nagiz and Kurmanbek were incredible! Kind, respectful, quick, and responsible. 10/10 would recommend you anyone!

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers about cost, timing, and what Dallas, TX is actually like once the truck is unloaded. No fine print games.
What additional costs does Wellknown have?
Moving to Dallas with us ensures that your moving plan includes all the essential costs required by the movers. There's no need to worry about separate charges for the truck, tools, furniture assembly or disassembly, or even moving heavy items – it's all covered. We also offer flexibility with additional services: you can supply your own packing materials, or we can provide them. Plus, if you prefer, we can handle packing for specific items only. Visit our pricing page to learn more!
What do I need to do before calling Wellknown?
Make a list of special items (or just memorize them) that movers need to pay attention to. First of all, these are heavy items (e.g. a piano, a bed, a big dresser). We need to know at least the approximate dimensions and weight. In the second place are fragile and valuable items, antiques, paintings, TV set, etc. This will help us to be better prepared. We also recommend that you clearly define whether you need additional services. If you are not sure yet, we will be happy to advise you.
Is Dallas cheaper than Philadelphia?
Yes, in many ways it is. The cost of living in Dallas is generally lower than in Philadelphia. Housing, in particular, tends to be more affordable, and you might also find savings on things like groceries, transportation, and utilities.
Why are homes in Dallas so cheap?
Dallas has more available land and fewer building restrictions compared to cities in the Northeast. That makes it easier and cheaper to build homes, which keeps prices lower. Property taxes can be higher in Texas, but many people still find it more affordable overall—especially when it comes to getting more space for the price.
What is the cheapest day to hire movers?
The middle of the week were your most favorable moving day, as most people move on the weekend. We also advise you to book your move at least a week in advance.
