Shipping in Killeen

What to know about moving a car in Killeen.

Killeen is the anchor city of the Killeen–Temple metro area. It is in Bell County. The Census Bureau estimated about 160,000 residents in 2023.

Killeen is not on an interstate. The closest is I-35, about 14 miles away in a straight line, and US-190 is the main highway through town. Fort Hood is nearby, so military PCS moves are a regular part of local demand.

Winters are fairly mild, so scheduling depends more on summer storms and holiday demand than on snow.

Measured in a straight line, Killeen is about 166 miles from Houston, the state's largest city. Nearby places with their own guides include Harker Heights (5 mi), Copperas Cove (11 mi), and Temple (20 mi). The closest major out-of-state market is Oklahoma City, OK, about 304 miles away.

Pickup & delivery

Local considerations for Killeen.

Base access

Civilian carriers usually can't drive onto Fort Hood. Plan to meet off-base in Killeen, and line up dates with your report or departure date if you're on PCS orders.

Neighborhood rules

HOA rules, cul-de-sacs and low trees are common in Killeen's neighborhoods. A nearby shopping-center lot or main road is the usual backup.

Off the interstate

With I-35 about 14 miles away, some carriers will ask to meet closer to the highway or along US-190. Door-to-door pickup is still the default whenever the truck can reach you.
