Movers in Big Spring

Big Spring at a glance

Big Spring is the seat of Howard County, with 26,144 people at the 2020 census. It sits at the crossroads of I-20 and US-87, about 40 miles east of Midland.

What that means for your move

At 40 miles out, a move between Big Spring and Midland is too far for most crews to treat as a quick local job, so ask how the mover prices the drive and whether travel time is included. Moves along I-20 toward Abilene and Dallas are common too. See long-distance moving.

A single big spring

The city takes its name from a single large spring that flowed into a small gorge near Scenic Mountain, a long-used watering place on the plains. Although people often say Big Springs, the name is officially singular. The city also has a state hospital, a federal prison and a regional airpark, all of which bring staff and families moving in from other parts of Texas.

On the road west

Big Spring has been the county seat since 1882 and is the largest community in Howard County. Its location on major highways means many residents move in and out for work, often with short notice. If you're moving on a tight schedule, a crew that can load in the morning and drive the same day saves a night in a hotel. Send your dates early and mention any large items.
