One Highway Into Dallas
US-80 runs west from Forney through Mesquite and joins I-30 into downtown Dallas. It is direct, but it backs up at the I-635 interchange on weekday mornings, so pickups are timed to the traffic, not the map.
Forney residents ride with QTS Black Car & Limo to downtown Dallas in roughly 25 to 35 minutes, Love Field in 30 to 40 and DFW in 40 to 55, with the fare and chauffeur set before the car arrives. Call (945) 212-1412 or book online.
The Texas Legislature named Forney the Antique Capital of Texas in 1987, two decades after Red Whaley opened the first shop on what became Antique Row along US-80. Forney has since grown into one of the larger commuter suburbs east of Dallas, most of it within reach of US-80.
Forney is close enough to Dallas that most residents work there, and far enough that the drive is a real part of every day. Nearly all of our Forney bookings are airport runs or Dallas trips, and they all start with the same question: how busy is US-80 right now?
US-80 runs west from Forney through Mesquite and joins I-30 into downtown Dallas. It is direct, but it backs up at the I-635 interchange on weekday mornings, so pickups are timed to the traffic, not the map.
New neighborhoods north and south of US-80 keep opening, and some are not on map apps yet. A dropped pin or nearest cross street on your booking means the chauffeur finds you the first time.
The antique and furniture showrooms along US-80 still draw shoppers from across the Metroplex. Groups book hourly service for a shopping day, with the chauffeur waiting and room in the back for finds.
Of the two airline airports, Love Field is nearer to Forney: about 30 to 40 minutes by US-80, I-30 and the downtown connectors. DFW International takes 40 to 55 minutes around the north side on I-635. Mesquite Metro Airport, about 15 minutes west, is the closest field for private flights.
Usually US-80 west to I-635, then I-635 north and west to the airport’s north entrance. When LBJ is jammed, I-30 to SH-360 into the south entrance is the alternative. Dispatch picks one from live traffic before the chauffeur leaves.
Yes. We work directly with the FBO at Mesquite Metro (HQZ) on where the car waits and track the tail number, so the chauffeur is ready when you land. Dallas Executive is another option, about 35 minutes away.
The estimates below start from central Forney near US-80 and FM 548 in ordinary traffic. Weekday mornings at the LBJ interchange in Mesquite are what stretch these numbers, so the pickup time printed on your confirmation is worked out for the hour you actually leave.

The American Airlines Center, Deep Ellum and Fair Park are all about 25 to 35 minutes from Forney, so a game or concert makes an easy night out. You are dropped close to the entrance, and the car is waiting at the agreed pickup spot when the event ends.
If anyone in your group plans to drive and park separately, buy the right venue parking pass in advance. Executive SUVs and Sprinters can usually drop near the door, while stretch limousines and party buses meet you at a nearby legal pickup spot that dispatch confirms when you book.
Forney ISD prom and homecoming nights keep us busy in spring and fall. We plan the pickups, photo stop, dinner and dance, and the chauffeur stays with the group until everyone is home. Parents receive the chauffeur’s name and a direct line to dispatch.
For weddings, guests often stay in Forney, Mesquite or Rockwall hotels. We run a shuttle between the hotels and the venue on a set loop and keep a separate car for the couple. Birthdays, anniversaries and nights out at The Harbor Rockwall are also popular, about 20 minutes north.
We cover all of Forney: Antique Row and the old town along US-80, the large subdivisions north and south of the highway, and rural addresses toward Talty, Terrell and Lake Ray Hubbard. Talty, Terrell and Kaufman have their own pages, and the Kaufman County hub covers the rest.
