The easiest way to cut your Dallas moving bill has nothing to do with how few boxes you pack. It is which three days of the week you book. Dallas Reliable Movers takes 10% off every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday job, local or long-distance — and with a Texas summer and a Texas storm season both on the calendar, picking the right day matters even more than the discount alone.
The Tuesday-Thursday Discount
Book your crew for a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday and we take 10% off the flat figure, local or long-distance. Mention it when Renee Castillo books your date — no coupon code, no fine print, and it stacks on top of crew rates that already run below most Dallas-Fort Worth competitors.
| Crew Size | Standard Rate | Tuesday–Thursday Rate |
|---|---|---|
| 2 movers | $109/hr | ~$98/hr |
| 3 movers | $149/hr | ~$134/hr |
| 4 movers | $189/hr | ~$170/hr |
Weekends are not marked up here — they simply do not carry the extra 10% off. Every day of the week uses the same posted rate; the discount only rewards the flexibility of a midweek date.
Why Weekends Cost More Industry-Wide
- Apartment complexes across Uptown, Deep Ellum, and Oak Cliff schedule move-outs around the weekend, so freight elevators and loading docks book solid
- Truck rental companies raise weekend rates on U-Haul and Penske trucks when demand spikes
- Real estate closings cluster on Fridays, pushing move day into Saturday for anyone who waits
- Crews run back-to-back weekend jobs across the metro, leaving no room to absorb a slow pack or a stuck freight elevator
Timing Around Dallas Summers
June through August in Dallas regularly clears 100°F by early afternoon, which is brutal for a crew carrying a couch down a driveway and worse for anyone standing outside supervising. Adam Kessler, our dispatcher, pushes summer start times to 7 or 8 a.m. whenever a customer will take the slot — the truck is loaded and the crew is done before the worst of the heat, and a midweek morning slot is almost always easier to get than a Saturday one.
Timing Around Storm Season
Spring brings severe thunderstorm and tornado watches to North Texas, with the heaviest stretch running March through May. A fast-moving line of storms can back up I-35E, I-30, and I-45 for hours, which is exactly the kind of delay that triggers our on-time guarantee if it happens on your crew’s drive in. Booking a weekday gives Adam more flexibility to shift your crew a few hours earlier or later around a forecast without touching your rate.
January Ice: The Quiet Exception
Dallas does not see much snow, but an ice morning most Januaries can shut down side streets in Richardson and Carrollton until the sun burns it off. A midweek move gives us a full business day to reroute a crew around Kyle Norwood’s northern routes if a driveway is still icy at 8 a.m. — a weekend crew has less daylight to work with if the morning is a wash.
Who Qualifies
Any move booked directly with Dallas Reliable Movers for a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday date qualifies automatically — local jobs anywhere in Dallas, Collin, Denton, Tarrant, or Rockwall counties, and long-distance runs to Houston, Austin, or Oklahoma City. There is no minimum job size and nothing to print out or show at the door.
A Real Savings Example
A standard two-bedroom flat rate runs $699 on a Friday or Saturday. Book the identical job for a Wednesday and the total drops to roughly $629 — enough to cover a full round of moving boxes. Stack that same 10% against a long-distance run to Houston or Austin and the savings grow fast.
Planning a Midweek Date
- Ask your landlord or lender if a Tuesday-Thursday closing or lease date is possible
- Request PTO for a weekday instead of banking on a weekend-only window
- Coordinate school pickup with a family member or neighbor for one weekday afternoon
- Call Renee early — midweek slots in popular areas like Plano and Irving fill first
“Saturday is our busiest day because everyone assumes it is the only option. Half the families who call us could move on a Wednesday if their landlord gave them one extra day of flexibility — and they would save real money doing it.” — Marco Villanueva, owner, Dallas Reliable Movers
Quick Answers
Does the discount apply to long-distance moves too? Yes — any Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday booking gets 10% off, local or interstate.
What if my move date has to be a weekend? No penalty either way — weekends run the standard posted rate, never a markup.
