Midland to Lubbock Movers

Midland to Lubbock is the run our crew could do without a map. At just 120 miles up US-87, it’s the shortest haul we offer and one of the most frequent — students heading to or from Texas Tech, families moving between the Basin’s two biggest cities, and oilfield workers relocating to support West Texas operations from a Lubbock base. It’s a straightforward move, and we price and schedule it that way: no unnecessary complexity, no inflated timeline for a trip that takes about two hours.

A US Highway Run, Not an Interstate

Worth noting up front: this route runs entirely on US-87 North, not an interstate. That’s not a downgrade — it’s simply the most direct way between the two cities, and our drivers know every stretch of it. Don’t expect an I-20-style multi-lane haul; expect a shorter, simpler trip that gets your belongings there in about 2 hours of actual drive time.

Route Snapshot

Our Most Frequent Run

Because we run this route so often, we can typically accommodate tighter timelines than our longer hauls allow — including moves booked with just a few days’ notice, which matters if you’re coordinating around a Texas Tech semester start or an end-of-lease date that snuck up on you. Ask us about last-minute availability before assuming you’re out of options.

Pricing for a Short Long-Distance Move

Even at 120 miles, this is still an interstate-adjacent, full-service move priced on weight and distance rather than an hourly rate — and because it’s our shortest lane, it’s also our most affordable long-distance option. That said, a short drive doesn’t mean a rushed job; your belongings still get the same wrapping, padding, and securing our crew uses on a 300-mile haul.

Typical Cost by Home Size

Students and smaller households moving light loads should ask about partial-truck pricing, since a shared load on this route often brings costs down further. Larger households can still pair this move with our full-pack service if time is tight before the move date. This route sits alongside our other long-distance moving lanes, and if your move is actually headed toward the Metroplex instead, see our Midland to Dallas-Fort Worth route for that comparison.
