The Road From Lubbock to Midland

Why we love Midland, Texas

We’ll be honest: we like coming to Midland. You can see the Tall City skyline rising off the flat Permian plains from miles out on Highway 349, and there’s nothing else like it in West Texas. This is a town that works hard — it sits at the center of the Permian Basin, which produces about a fifth of the nation’s oil and gas — and still makes time for RockHounds baseball at Momentum Bank Ballpark, Friday nights at Astound Broadband Stadium, and school pride behind the Midland High Bulldogs. Between the Permian Basin Petroleum Museum off I-20 and the George W. Bush Childhood Home on West Ohio Avenue, there’s real history on nearly every corner.

To appreciate Midland, it helps to know the history that shaped it — a story that starts with a railroad water stop on the open prairie and ends with one of the most important energy towns in America.

Early Settlement

Midland got its start in June 1881 as Midway Station, a stop on the Texas and Pacific Railway sitting halfway between Fort Worth and El Paso. When the town earned its first post office in January 1884, it took the name Midland to keep from being confused with the other Midways scattered around Texas. Ranching drove those early years, and by 1890 Midland had grown into one of the most important cattle-shipping points in the state. The town incorporated in 1906, and within a few years it had its own fire department and a new water system.

Oil and Ranching Heritage

For its first four decades, Midland was cattle country through and through, shipping West Texas herds out by rail. Everything changed in 1923, when the Santa Rita No. 1 well came in over in Reagan County and proved the Permian Basin held serious oil. More strikes followed in Ector County in 1926, and Midland became the administrative heart of the West Texas oil patch — the town where the companies kept their offices while the rigs worked the surrounding counties. By 1930 the population had jumped to about 8,000, and the rhythm of the oil business has shaped the city ever since. Today the Permian Basin produces roughly one fifth of the nation’s petroleum and natural gas, and Midland still sits at the center of it all.

Community Spirit

Midland ISD serves the city, and the Midland High Bulldogs have been drawing crowds for generations. The Scharbauer Sports Complex is where the whole town shows up — Friday night football at Astound Broadband Stadium and the Double-A RockHounds playing summer ball at Momentum Bank Ballpark, which opened in 2002. On the weekends, families head to the Museum of the Southwest or the Permian Basin Petroleum Museum, and visitors can tour the George W. Bush Childhood Home on West Ohio Avenue, where two future presidents lived in the early 1950s. It’s a big city that still runs on small-town loyalty.

Modern Midland

Modern Midland is a city of roughly 140,000 people — one of the largest in West Texas and the business capital of the Permian Basin. Folks call it the Tall City because the downtown towers, topped by the 24-story Bank of America Building, rise off plains so flat you can spot the skyline long before you reach town. Energy jobs keep drawing new families to neighborhoods like Grassland Estates in the northwest and the golf-course homes of Green Tree, while Loop 250 ties the growing edges of the city together. People move here for good work and quick commutes, and plenty of them need a hand getting their household from one address to the next.

Lubbock to Midland 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 Midland?

We do, and we have for years. Midland is about 118 miles south of our Lubbock base — US-87 down to Lamesa, then Highway 349 straight into town — and our crews make that run regularly for families and businesses across the Permian Basin. On move day we leave Lubbock early with the truck already stocked with pads, dollies, straps, and shrink wrap, so we pull up to your Midland address ready to work, not ready to prep.

After 15+ years serving the South Plains, the Lubbock-to-Midland corridor is one of our most familiar routes. The name on the truck says Lubbock, but the service area covers the whole region — and with statewide authority, anywhere in Texas.

Does the distance from Lubbock make my move cost extra or slow things down?

Here’s the honest answer: Midland is a scheduled trip for us, not a quick hop across town, so we plan it like one. The drive down US-87 and Highway 349 takes about two hours each way, which means we book your date in advance and start early rather than squeezing you between local jobs. It does not slow your actual move down — most Midland homes load, travel, and unload in a single day.

As for cost, everything including travel is built into your free written estimate before we ever load a box. The quote you approve is the quote you pay — no hidden fees, no surprise add-ons for mileage after the fact.

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

The more notice the better, especially at the end of the month and in summer when half the Permian Basin seems to be changing addresses at once. A week or two of lead time usually gets you your first-choice date, and since Midland is a planned run down Highway 349 for us, locking in a date early keeps everything smooth.

That said, life in the oil patch doesn’t always give you notice — job transfers and lease deadlines come up fast. We can often fit Midland moves in the same week you call, and sometimes even same-day if a crew is available. Call (806) 300-7394 and we’ll tell you straight what we can do.

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

All the time — it might be our single most traveled route. Students heading to Texas Tech, energy workers transferring between Permian Basin offices, families moving closer to relatives: the US-87 and Highway 349 corridor through Lamesa stays busy in both directions, and the newly widened four-lane stretch of 349 makes it a comfortable haul.

Because both ends of the move are in our home territory, these jobs run about as smooth as moving gets. One crew loads you in Midland in the morning, drives the two hours north, and has you unloaded in Lubbock the same day — or the reverse. One written quote covers the whole thing.

Can you move me from Midland to somewhere else in Texas, like Dallas or Houston?

Yes — we run flat-rate long-distance moves anywhere in the state, and Midland is well positioned for them with Interstate 20 running right along the south side of town toward Abilene, Fort Worth, and beyond. Our TXDMV license (#009155382C) gives us statewide authority, and our USDOT number (#3426928) covers federal requirements, so there’s no handing your furniture off to a third party.

The flat rate means you get one written number before we load, and that number holds whether the drive takes a little longer or the elevator at the other end is slow. Your belongings ride on our truck with our crew from your Midland driveway to your new front door.

Are you actually licensed and insured to move me in Midland?

Fully. Lubbock Moving Company holds Texas motor carrier license TXDMV #009155382C, which authorizes household moves anywhere in the state — Midland included — and USDOT #3426928 for federal operating authority. That’s not fine print to us; it’s the difference between a real moving company and two guys with a rented box truck.

Being licensed and insured means your household goods are protected from the moment we load in Midland until the last piece is set down. You can verify both numbers yourself through the TXDMV and FMCSA websites, and we’re happy to walk you through our coverage when you call for your free estimate.

Do your crews actually know their way around Midland?

They do. Highway 349 becomes Big Spring Street as it comes into town, Loop 250 wraps around the north side, and Wadley Avenue and Highway 191 carry us out to the west-side neighborhoods — that’s the working map of most Midland moves. Our crews have loaded and unloaded in Grassland Estates off Wadley near Loop 250, in the golf-course streets of Green Tree, and at offices downtown among the Tall City high-rises.

Knowing the town matters more than people think: where the truck can stage on a narrow cul-de-sac, which gates a big neighborhood uses, how to time Loop 250 traffic. That local familiarity is part of what you’re hiring when you call us.

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

Full service means our crew arrives at your Midland home or business with the truck, furniture pads, dollies, straps, and shrink wrap — you don’t rent or supply anything. We handle residential and commercial moves, full packing and unpacking, labor-only help if you already have a truck, and flat-rate long-distance moves anywhere in Texas. Whether it’s a two-bedroom off Wadley Avenue or an office suite downtown, the crew does the lifting, wrapping, and hauling start to finish.

Getting a quote is simple: call (806) 300-7394 and tell us what you’re moving and where. We’ll put together a free written estimate up front with no hidden fees, and we take cash and all major credit cards. Same-week scheduling is often available, so don’t be shy about calling even if your date is close.
