Request a moving quoteHow local moves are priced
Most local moves are charged by the hour for a crew and truck, sometimes with a travel fee to and from the job. The total depends on how much you own, how far the truck parks from the door, stairs, and how ready everything is when the crew arrives. Ask the mover how they bill and what's included.
Getting an accurate quote
Walk the mover through every room, the garage, the attic and any sheds, either in person or by video. Mention large or heavy items, things that need taking apart, and anything you don't want them to move. Surprises on moving day are where quotes go over.
Getting ready
Pack and seal boxes before the crew arrives, label each one with its room, and clear walkways. Take beds apart if you're comfortable doing so, or ask the movers to. Keep valuables, documents, medicines and phone chargers with you.
Moving between Midland and Odessa
The two cities are close, but a move between them still involves loading, highway driving and unloading. Ask whether the mover treats it as a local job by the hour or prices it differently, and plan the move outside rush hour on I-20 if you can.
On the day
Be there at the start and the end to answer questions and check the inventory. Walk through the old home before the truck leaves so nothing gets left behind in a closet or the garage.
After the move
Check furniture and boxes as they come off the truck and note any damage before the crew leaves. Most movers have a short window for claims, so act quickly. Send a request and a moving company will get in touch.
Frequently asked questions
- How many movers will I need?
- It depends on the home size and access. A small apartment may need two movers; a large house may need three or four and a bigger truck.
- Can I pack myself and just hire movers?
- Yes. Many people pack themselves and hire movers only to load, drive and unload, which can save money.
