What’s the best route from Dallas to Amarillo?

I’m moving from Dallas to Amarillo, Texas. Since I’ll have a lot of stuff with me, I’m hoping to make the drive in one day. Is this possible? What route should I take?

Absolutely! The best route from Dallas to Amarillo,
Texas
is via highway US-287 N. Once you reach US-287 N, you’ll be on the open highway for about 300 miles in total, which makes this road great for hauling large amounts of stuff. The drive typically takes just over five and a half hours, so it’s doable in one day!
However, you should still make sure to stop every two hours to take a break. That way, you won’t get overtired or distracted as easily, and you’ll be able to avoid some of the post-road-trip cramps! It can also help to plan around rush hour when possible, so you won’t be driving into
Amarillo
or out of
Dallas
when traffic is at its worst.
Don’t forget that an address change means you should update your car insurance, too! With the
