The Road From Lubbock to Amarillo

Why we love Amarillo, Texas

We’ll be honest: we like having a reason to drive to Amarillo. It’s a city that doesn’t take itself too seriously — where ten Cadillacs stand buried nose-down in a field at Cadillac Ranch, where the Big Texan has dared travelers to finish a 72-ounce steak since 1960, and where Palo Duro Canyon, the second-largest canyon in the country, drops out of the flat plains just south of town. It’s also a working city through and through, with the Tyson beef plant, Pantex, and the Bell assembly plant keeping tens of thousands of Panhandle families employed, and Friday nights still belonging to the Amarillo High Sandies and their Golden Sandstorm.

To appreciate Amarillo, it helps to know the history that shaped it — a story of railroads, cattle, and a gas most people only think about at birthday parties. Here’s a quick look at how the Yellow City came to be.

Early Settlement

Amarillo got its start in April 1887, when John T. Berry of Abilene laid out a townsite along the right-of-way of the Fort Worth and Denver City Railway as it built across the Texas Panhandle. The little settlement was first called Oneida, and on August 30, 1887, it won the election to become the seat of Potter County. The railroad arrived that fall, with freight service running by October, and the town soon took the name Amarillo — Spanish for “yellow,” a nod to the color of the local soil and wildflowers. From those first rail cars forward, Amarillo has been a town that moves things.

Cattle, Rails, and Helium

Once the tracks were down, Amarillo boomed as a cattle-marketing center, with holding pens built beside the rails for herds driven in from ranches across the Panhandle, the South Plains, and eastern New Mexico. More than 100,000 head were shipped out each year, and by 1890 Amarillo ranked among the busiest cattle-shipping points in the world. The twentieth century added a stranger claim to fame: the region held some of the most productive helium fields on earth, and by 1964 roughly 95 percent of the world’s recoverable helium came from within 250 miles of town, earning Amarillo the title of Helium Capital of the World. Cattle, rails, and what’s underground built this city, and all three still shape it today.

Community Spirit

Ask anyone in town about the Golden Sandstorm and they’ll know exactly what you mean — Amarillo High School’s teams have carried the Sandies name since 1922, when coach A.S. Douglass watched his players practice in blowing sand and decided to own it. Today Amarillo ISD fields four high schools, and community pride stretches from Friday night football to summer evenings at Hodgetown, the downtown ballpark where the Amarillo Sod Poodles play Double-A baseball. Add in the old Route 66 district along Sixth Street in San Jacinto, with its antique shops and cafes, and you’ve got a city that celebrates where it came from without getting stuck there.

Modern Amarillo

Modern Amarillo is home to around 200,000 people, making it the largest city in the Texas Panhandle and one of the fifteen largest in the state. It serves as the economic hub for the whole region — the Panhandle, eastern New Mexico, and the Oklahoma Panhandle all look to Amarillo for healthcare, retail, and jobs. Major employers include the Tyson beef plant, one of the largest in the country, the Pantex facility east of town, and Bell’s assembly plant near the airport, alongside a large medical community. People move here for steady work, affordable neighborhoods from historic Wolflin to master-planned communities like The Colonies, and a pace of life that still feels like Texas.

Lubbock to Amarillo Moving — Frequently Asked Questions

Here are a few answers to common questions we get from our customers. If you have any more questions — don’t hesitate to give us a call!

You're called Lubbock Moving Company — do you really cover Amarillo?

We really do. Amarillo is a regular part of our service area, and the drive between our two cities is about as easy as long hauls get — a straight shot up I-27 past Plainview, Tulia, and Canyon, right into town. Day to day, it works like this: we set your move date in advance, the crew loads up in Lubbock early that morning, and they arrive at your Amarillo door with the truck, pads, dollies, straps, and shrink wrap already on board.

You don’t pay us to figure things out on arrival — the whole trip is planned and priced in writing before we ever leave Lubbock. After 15-plus years running the South Plains and Panhandle, that corridor is second nature to us.

Does the distance from Lubbock make my move cost more or slow it down?

It won’t surprise you either way, because everything — including the travel up I-27 — is built into the free written quote we give you before the move. There are no hidden fees and nothing added on moving day; the number you see in writing is the number you pay. As for speed, Amarillo sits about 120 miles north of us, roughly a two-hour drive on a flat, fast interstate, so the trip itself is a small part of the day.

We’ll be straight with you: Amarillo moves are scheduled trips rather than same-hour local runs, so we book them ahead of time instead of squeezing them between jobs across town. That planning is exactly why our Amarillo customers get a firm arrival window and a crew that shows up ready to work.

How far in advance do I need to book, and can you handle short notice?

The more notice, the better — a week or two ahead gives you first pick of dates, especially at the start and end of the month when leases turn over near the medical district and around West Texas rental cycles. That said, we can often fit Amarillo moves in the same week you call, and in some cases same-day service is possible if a crew and truck are free.

The fastest way to find out is to call (806) 300-7394 and tell us your timeline. We’ll check the schedule while you’re on the phone and follow up with a free written estimate, so a short-notice move doesn’t mean a blind one.

I'm moving between Amarillo and Lubbock — is that a move you do a lot?

All the time — the I-27 corridor between Amarillo and Lubbock is our home turf, whether it’s a Texas Tech family heading north for a job at the hospital or Pantex, or an Amarillo family moving down to Lubbock. Because the two cities are only about two hours apart, most of these moves load and deliver on the same day, so you sleep in your new home that night.

We know the loading quirks on both ends, from older homes with narrow drives in Wolflin to apartment complexes off Loop 335 and student housing near Tech. One crew, one truck, one written quote covering the whole trip — that’s the entire arrangement.

Can you move me from Amarillo to somewhere else in Texas, like Dallas or Austin?

Yes — we run long-distance moves from Amarillo to anywhere in Texas on a flat-rate basis, whether that’s down US-287 to Fort Worth and Dallas, or south to Austin, San Antonio, or Houston. Flat-rate means you get one firm written number for the whole move before we load, not an hourly meter running while the truck crosses half the state.

We hold both statewide and federal operating authority (TXDMV #009155382C, USDOT #3426928), so the paperwork side of a cross-state move is already handled. Tell us where you’re headed and we’ll map the route, set the dates, and put the whole thing in writing.

Are you actually licensed and insured for moves in Amarillo?

We are, and we’d encourage you to check — our Texas license is TXDMV #009155382C and our federal number is USDOT #3426928, both of which you can look up yourself on the state and federal databases. That combination covers us for moves anywhere in Texas, including every neighborhood in Amarillo and Potter and Randall counties.

Insurance matters most on the day something unexpected happens, and it’s the difference between a licensed carrier and a couple of guys with a rented truck. We’ve carried proper licensing and insurance through more than 15 years of moves on the South Plains and Panhandle, and we’re glad to talk through what that coverage means for your specific move.

Do your crews actually know their way around Amarillo?

They do, because they’re up here regularly. Our crews know the difference between working a historic street in Wolflin with mature trees hanging over the drive, backing a truck into a 1970s cul-de-sac in Puckett, and delivering to a new build in The Colonies or Sleepy Hollow on the southwest side. They know that I-40 splits the city east to west, that Loop 335 wraps around it, and that construction and train crossings near downtown can change the smart route on any given day.

That local familiarity shows up in small ways: crews arrive on time, park the truck where it won’t block your neighbors, and don’t waste your paid hours circling the block. West Texas is our home region, and Amarillo is a city we work in, not just drive through.

What does full-service moving include, and how do I get a quote?

Full-service means we handle the whole job: packing and unpacking, loading, transport, and placement in your new home, with the crew bringing the truck, furniture pads, dollies, straps, and shrink wrap. We handle residential moves, commercial and office moves, long-distance flat-rate moves anywhere in Texas, and labor-only help if you’ve already got a truck and just need strong, careful hands.

Getting a quote is simple: call (806) 300-7394, tell us what you’re moving and where, and we’ll put together a free written estimate with everything spelled out up front — no hidden fees. We accept cash and all major credit cards, so paying is as straightforward as the quote itself.
