The Road From Lubbock to Fort Worth
Why we love Fort Worth, Texas
Fort Worth is the kind of Texas city that never pretends to be anything else, and we respect that. It’s a town where the world’s oldest continuously running stock show and rodeo has been held every year since 1896, where the Paschal Panthers have carried the Panther City name since the 1880s, and where the Stockyards still sit a few minutes from a downtown skyline built by aerospace, railroads, and airlines. Between Lockheed Martin and Bell on the west side, American Airlines and BNSF Railway calling the area home, and TCU’s Horned Frogs packing stands on Saturdays, Fort Worth manages to be a city of more than a million people that still feels like a hometown.
To appreciate Fort Worth, it helps to know the history that shaped it. This is a city that started as a lonely army outpost on a bluff above the Trinity River and grew into one of the ten largest cities in the United States, and the story of how that happened runs right through cattle, railroads, and airplanes.

Early Settlement
Fort Worth began in 1849 as a U.S. Army post established by Major Ripley Arnold near the meeting point of the Clear Fork and West Fork of the Trinity River. The fort was named for Major General William Jenkins Worth, who had commanded American troops in Texas. When the army moved on in 1853, settlers simply moved into the fort’s buildings and kept the town going, and by 1860 Fort Worth had become the seat of Tarrant County. From that bluff above the river, everything else in the city’s story followed.
Cowtown: Cattle and Railroad Heritage
In the 1870s, Fort Worth was the last major stop on the Chisholm Trail before the open country north, and drovers pushing herds toward Kansas gave the town its lasting nickname: Cowtown. The Texas and Pacific Railway arrived in 1876, turning Fort Worth from a waystation into a destination for cattle, and the stockyards established in 1887 grew into one of the largest livestock markets in the country, anchoring a major meatpacking industry. The 1920s brought petroleum refining, and World War II brought aircraft manufacturing, an industry that never left. Cattle built the town, but rails, oil, and airplanes built the city.
Community Spirit
Fort Worth’s community calendar still runs on traditions that go back generations. The Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo has been held every year since 1896, making it the oldest continuously running livestock show and rodeo anywhere, and since 2020 the rodeo has filled Dickies Arena each winter. On Friday nights, Fort Worth ISD schools like Paschal High School, the district’s oldest, send the purple-and-white Panthers onto the field carrying the old Panther City nickname, while TCU’s Horned Frogs give the whole town a college team to rally around. Add the Trinity Trails winding along the river and the museums of the Cultural District, and you get a big city that still shows up for its own.
Modern Fort Worth
Today Fort Worth is home to more than a million people, ranking among the ten largest cities in the United States and one of the fastest-growing anywhere. Aerospace and defense anchor the economy, led by Lockheed Martin and Bell, while American Airlines and BNSF Railway are both headquartered in the area. Growth has pushed hard to the north, where the Alliance corridor keeps adding new homes and employers, while established neighborhoods like Tanglewood, Arlington Heights, Fairmount, and Wedgwood keep drawing families who want character and good schools. People move to Fort Worth for work, for the schools, and for a big city that still acts like a neighborly one, and we move a lot of them.

Lubbock to Fort Worth 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 actually handle moves in Fort Worth?
We do. Our name comes from our home base on the South Plains, but we hold statewide operating authority through TXDMV and federal authority through USDOT, so Fort Worth is squarely inside our service area. Because Fort Worth sits about 320 miles from Lubbock, we handle it as scheduled long-distance service rather than daily local runs, which means we plan your date with you in advance and dedicate a crew and truck to your move.
Day to day, that looks like a crew rolling down US-84 to I-20 with everything already loaded on the truck, so nothing about the distance changes what you experience on moving day. You get the same trained movers, the same equipment, and the same written quote as a customer three blocks from our office.
Does the distance from Lubbock make my Fort Worth move cost more or take longer?
We’ll be straight with you: Fort Worth is a genuine long-distance move for us, roughly 320 miles down US-84 and I-20 through Abilene and Weatherford, so we schedule these moves rather than running them same-day the way we do around Lubbock. The honest trade-off is planning, not price surprises, because the travel is built into your free written estimate before we ever load a box.
Long-distance moves anywhere in Texas are quoted flat-rate, so the number we put in writing is the number you pay, with no hidden fees and no meter running while the truck is on I-20. Once your date is set, the move itself runs on schedule like any other job.
How far in advance do I need to book, and can you help on short notice?
The more lead time you can give us on a Fort Worth move, the better, since we’re coordinating a crew and truck for a full run across West Texas. That said, we can often get you on the calendar the same week you call, and around Lubbock we can sometimes even manage same-day service, so it never hurts to ask about your date even if it’s close.
If you’re staring down a lease deadline or a closing date in Fort Worth, call us at 806-855-8427 and tell us the situation. We’ll tell you honestly what we can do, put a written estimate in your hands, and lock in the date if it works.
I'm moving between Fort Worth and Lubbock — is that a move you do a lot?
It’s one of our most natural routes, since it connects our hometown to one of the biggest cities in Texas. Students heading to or from TCU and Texas Tech, families chasing jobs in the Alliance corridor, and folks coming back to the South Plains to be near family all keep this corridor busy for us in both directions.
The drive runs US-84 through Post and Snyder, then I-20 through Sweetwater, Abilene, and Weatherford, and our crews know it well. Because we’re based on the Lubbock end, a Fort Worth-to-Lubbock move is about as home-turf as a long-distance move gets, and it’s quoted flat-rate in writing before we start.
Can you move me from Fort Worth to somewhere else in Texas, like Houston or San Antonio?
Yes. Our long-distance service covers moves anywhere in Texas on a flat-rate basis, so a move out of Fort Worth doesn’t have to point back toward Lubbock for us to take it on. Whether you’re leaving a house near the Cultural District for Houston or heading from the Wedgwood area down to San Antonio, we can dedicate a crew and truck to the whole trip.
Every one of these moves starts with a free written estimate that covers the full route up front, with no hidden fees added later. Tell us both addresses and your timing, and we’ll map it out and put the price in writing.
Are you licensed and insured to operate in Fort Worth?
Fully. Lubbock Moving Company is licensed and insured with the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles under TXDMV #009155382C, which gives us statewide authority, and we also carry federal authority under USDOT #3426928. Those numbers are printed right where you can verify them, and we encourage you to look them up before hiring us or anyone else.
That licensing matters on a long haul like Lubbock to Fort Worth, because it means your belongings are covered the entire way down I-20, not just at the endpoints. We’ve operated this way for more than fifteen years, and it’s a big part of why our customers hand us their house keys with confidence.
Do your crews actually know their way around Fort Worth?
They do, because we’ve worked this city plenty. Our crews have carried furniture up the narrow porch steps of historic Fairmount bungalows on the Southside, worked the tree-lined streets of Tanglewood near TCU, and handled the mid-century ranch homes of Wedgwood, where long single-story layouts make for a different kind of load-out than a two-story in Arlington Heights.
We also know the practical side: how I-20, I-30, and I-35W come together around the city, what downtown one-way streets mean for truck staging near Sundance Square, and how much new construction is waiting up in the Alliance area off I-35W. Knowing the ground means fewer surprises and a faster day for you.
What does full-service moving include, and how do I get a quote?
Full-service means we handle the whole move: residential or commercial, packing and unpacking if you want it, loading, the drive, and placement in your new home. Every crew arrives with the truck, furniture pads, dollies, straps, and shrink wrap, so there’s nothing for you to rent or buy, and if you only need muscle we also offer moving labor help. We accept cash and all major credit cards.
Getting a quote is simple: call 806-855-8427, tell us where you’re moving from and to in Fort Worth and what’s going on the truck, and we’ll prepare a free written estimate. Everything is in writing up front, with no hidden fees, so you know exactly where you stand before moving day.
