The Road From Lubbock to Austin

Why we love Austin, Texas

There’s a lot to like about Austin. The pink granite Capitol — the largest state capitol building in the country, finished in 1888 — still anchors a skyline that has grown up fast around it, and the UT Tower has stood over the University of Texas campus since 1937. You can swim in Barton Springs Pool at 68 to 70 degrees year-round, watch more than a million bats pour out from under the Congress Avenue Bridge on a summer evening, and spend a Saturday in Zilker Park, the city’s oldest, spread across more than 350 acres along the Colorado River. Add an economy that has earned the nickname Silicon Hills — Dell, Tesla’s Gigafactory, Apple’s Parmer Lane campus, Samsung — and it’s easy to see why so many Texans are headed this way.

To appreciate Austin, it helps to know the history that shaped it — a story that starts with a tiny river settlement called Waterloo and a young republic looking for a capital.

Early Settlement

In 1839, a site-selection commission appointed by the Congress of the Republic of Texas — at the urging of President Mirabeau B. Lamar — chose the small frontier settlement of Waterloo on the Colorado River as the republic’s new capital, purchasing 7,735 acres along the water. The town was renamed for Stephen F. Austin, the “Father of Texas,” and Judge Edwin Waller surveyed a street grid that survives largely intact in downtown Austin today. In October 1839 the entire government of the Republic arrived from Houston in oxcarts, and by the following January the new capital’s population had grown to 856 people. Waller went on to become the city’s first mayor.

From Capital City to Silicon Hills

Government has been one of Austin’s leading industries from the very start, and the massive pink granite Capitol completed in 1888 — the largest state capitol in the nation — made that role plain for everyone to see. By the 1950s, research laboratories and think tanks had begun drawing innovative thinkers and technology companies to the area, laying the groundwork for what came next. Today the region is known as Silicon Hills, home to more than five thousand tech companies: Dell employs around fourteen thousand people in the metro, Tesla runs its enormous Gigafactory on the east side, Apple built a major campus on West Parmer Lane, and Samsung is constructing a semiconductor plant just northeast of the city in Taylor. Few American cities have made the leap from government town to technology capital quite so completely.

Community Spirit

Most of the city is served by the Austin Independent School District, whose flagship, Stephen F. Austin High School, was founded in 1881 and stands as one of the oldest public high schools west of the Mississippi — its teams have played as the Maroons since the school adopted maroon and white around 1920. Community life plays out in the city’s public spaces: Barton Springs Pool in Zilker Park, summer evenings watching the bats take flight from the Congress Avenue Bridge, and the Sunday farmers’ market at Mueller Lake Park. Between UT campus traditions, neighborhood events, and the live music the city is famous for, there’s a real sense that Austinites show up for each other.

Modern Austin

Austin today is one of the fastest-growing big cities in America, with a metro area that has passed two and a half million residents and roughly sixty thousand newcomers arriving in a single recent year. People come for jobs at the tech employers, for the University of Texas, and for neighborhoods with real character — tree-lined Hyde Park near campus, the planned community of Mueller, Tarrytown near Lake Austin, Travis Heights and South Congress south of the river, and family subdivisions like Circle C Ranch in the southwest. It’s a big, fast-moving city now, but the swimming holes, the barbecue, and the friendliness that drew people here in the first place haven’t gone anywhere. That mix is exactly why so many of our moves these days either start or end in Austin.

Lubbock to Austin 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 handle moves in Austin?

We really do. Lubbock is home, but we hold statewide operating authority through the TXDMV plus federal USDOT authority, and long-distance flat-rate moves anywhere in Texas are a core part of our business — Austin included. Day to day, that means we schedule your Austin move as a dedicated run: the crew heads out US-84 from Lubbock, picks up US-183 south through Cisco and Lampasas, and arrives at your door with the truck, pads, dollies, straps, and shrink wrap.

Because the whole job is planned in advance and quoted in writing before we start, an Austin customer gets the same straightforward experience as a neighbor here on the South Plains. The only real difference is the drive, and that’s our problem to handle, not yours.

Austin is a long way from Lubbock — does that make my move more expensive or slower?

We’ll be straight with you: Austin is roughly 370 miles from Lubbock — close to six hours down US-84 and US-183 — so it isn’t one of our daily local runs. Austin moves are handled through our scheduled long-distance flat-rate service, which means we plan the trip around your dates rather than squeezing it between jobs across town.

On cost, there’s no meter running while the truck rolls through the Hill Country. Travel is built into one written flat-rate quote you receive up front, before anything is loaded, with no hidden fees added later. You’ll know the full picture before you commit, and the number on the paper is the number you pay.

How far in advance do I need to book an Austin move? What if I'm on short notice?

Because an Austin job is a scheduled long-distance run down US-84 and US-183 rather than a quick local trip, the more lead time you can give us, the more choices you’ll have on dates — a couple of weeks ahead is comfortable, and end-of-month weekends fill first. Austin’s rental cycles and constant stream of newcomers keep certain dates busy, so if your lease turnover is already set, call early.

That said, life doesn’t always cooperate, and we know it. Same-week scheduling is often possible and in some cases we can even manage same-day help, depending on where our crews are. The fastest way to find out is to call (806) 300-7394 and tell us your dates — we’ll give you an honest answer on the spot.

I'm moving between Austin and Lubbock — is that the kind of move you do?

That’s about the best possible fit for us, and we run that corridor regularly — students and families headed to Texas Tech, folks taking jobs in Austin’s tech economy, and plenty of people moving back to the South Plains for family or a slower pace. Since one end of the move is our own backyard, you get a company that knows both cities instead of just one.

One crew handles the whole job: we load in one city, drive the US-84/US-183 route ourselves, and deliver at the other end — your belongings never change hands or trucks. The entire move, travel included, is covered by a single written flat-rate quote, and we can pack and unpack for you on either end if you’d rather not touch a box.

Can you move me from Austin to another Texas city, like Houston, Dallas, or San Antonio?

Yes — our long-distance flat-rate service covers anywhere in Texas, not just moves that touch Lubbock. If you’re leaving Austin for Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, San Antonio, El Paso, or a small town most folks couldn’t find on a map, we can schedule it, and our TXDMV statewide authority means we’re fully legal to run it.

The process works the same as any of our moves: you tell us what’s moving and when, we put a flat-rate quote in writing up front, and a full crew arrives with the truck and all the equipment. One price covers the whole trip, so a longer haul across the state doesn’t turn into a stack of surprise charges.

Are you licensed and insured to do my move in Austin?

Yes, fully. Lubbock Moving Company operates under TXDMV license #009155382C and USDOT #3426928, which gives us both statewide and federal operating authority — you can verify both numbers yourself through the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles and the federal database. That matters in a fast-growing market like Austin, where plenty of unlicensed operators advertise on classifieds and disappear when something goes wrong.

Being licensed and insured means your belongings are protected on the road between the South Plains and Travis County, and it means we’re accountable to state and federal regulators, not just our own word. Every job also starts with a free written estimate, so the paperwork is clean from the first phone call.

Do your crews actually know their way around Austin?

They do — Austin is one of our regular long-distance destinations, and our crews have worked all over the city. The neighborhoods each move differently: Hyde Park’s older streets near the UT campus are narrow and tree-lined, which changes where you can stage a truck; Mueller’s planned layout is tighter than it looks with alleys and shared parking; Tarrytown and Travis Heights have mature trees and sloped drives; and subdivisions like Circle C Ranch in the southwest are more typical suburban loading.

We also plan around Austin traffic, because I-35 through the middle of town at the wrong hour can add real time to a move. Loading windows, parking, elevator reservations at downtown buildings — we sort that out during the estimate so move day itself goes smoothly.

What does your full-service move include, and how do I get a quote in Austin?

Full-service means we can take the whole move off your hands: packing and unpacking, loading and unloading, residential and commercial jobs, long-distance flat-rate runs anywhere in Texas, and labor-only help if you’ve already rented your own truck. Our crews bring everything the job needs — the truck, furniture pads, dollies, straps, and shrink wrap — so there’s nothing for you to rent or buy.

Getting a quote is simple: call us at (806) 300-7394, tell us what’s moving and your dates, and we’ll put together a free written estimate with the full flat rate spelled out up front — no hidden fees. We accept cash and all major credit cards, and same-week scheduling is often available if your Austin move is coming up fast.
