Travel Assistance
Testronics is located in Richardson, Texas, which is about 20 miles north of Dallas (and about 45 miles east of the Dallas - Fort Worth Airport). Once you arrive at the airport, expect the drive to the plant (or area hotel) to take about an hour during off-peak traffic times and a little over an hour and a half between the peak traffic hours of 7:00 - 9:00 AM and 3:00 - 7:00 PM.
The Dallas-Fort Worth Airport (DFW)
The DFW Airport is rather large and has rental car facilities at the airport as well as off-premises. The rental lots located at the airport maintain north and south facilities. Either will work, just make sure to take the north airport exit. This will get you headed in the right direction. If you use an off-premises rental agency, use their map to get you to either Highway 121 North or Loop 635.
DFW Airport Information
Driving Directions
There are two typical ways to get to Testronics from the DFW airport. Either
take Highway 121 north directly to McKinney, or take Loop 635 east to I-75 and then go
north to McKinney. Either way is about the same distance, (about 45 miles), but traffic is typically heavier
on Loop 635 during rush hour. Plan on the trip taking about an hour.
For both driving routes, you will want to take the north airport exit. When you exit, you will actually be on Highway 121, heading north. After about 1 mile, you can exit onto Loop 635 east or stay on 121.

will go through Lewisville, underneath I-35, through a bunch of stop lights, and will
finally come up to I-75.
