The Road From Lubbock to Monahans

Why we love Monahans, Texas

Monahans is one of our favorite stops in the Permian Basin, and it’s not close. Where else does a town keep a million-barrel concrete oil tank from 1928 and turn it into a museum with an amphitheater inside? Add the sand dunes at Monahans Sandhills State Park rising up to 70 feet just off the interstate, Loboes football on Friday nights, and an economy that still runs on oil, rail, and plain hard work, and you get a town that knows exactly what it is. Folks here are direct, friendly, and busy — our kind of customers.

To appreciate Monahans, it helps to know the history that shaped it — a story that starts not with oil, but with a railroad crew desperate for water in the dry country near the sandhills.

Early Settlement

In 1881, the Texas and Pacific Railway was pushing west across some of the driest country in Texas, and the lack of water threatened to stall construction. A surveyor named John Thomas Monahan dug a well at the site that produced an abundance of good water, and the railroad reached the spot that August. The little stop became known as Monahan’s Well, and a post office followed in 1883. When the legislature created Ward County in 1887, the railroad town in its northeast corner was already established as a dependable watering point on the line.

Oil Boom Heritage

Everything changed in 1926 when the Hendrick oilfield opened nearby and the Permian Basin boom came to Ward County. Monahans grew fast, shifting from a ranching and railroad stop to a working oil town, and it incorporated in 1928 — the same year Shell built a massive concrete tank east of town designed to hold more than a million barrels of crude. In 1938 Monahans took over from Barstow as the county seat of Ward County. Nearly a century later, oil and gas extraction and the transportation and warehousing work that supports it are still pillars of the local economy, which is why Monahans calls itself the center of the Permian Basin.

Community Spirit

Monahans-Wickett-Pyote ISD ties three communities together, and the Monahans Loboes carry the town’s pride onto the field and court all year long — the high school’s student paper is even called The Sandstorm, a nod to the dunes next door. Monahans Sandhills State Park, open to the public since 1957, draws families from across West Texas to surf and sled dunes that climb as high as 70 feet. The old million-barrel tank is now the Million Barrel Museum, where the Meadows Amphitheater hosts events inside a piece of oilfield history. It’s a town that turned sand and crude into things worth gathering around.

Modern Monahans

Today Monahans is home to roughly 7,800 people and serves as the county seat of Ward County, sitting at the crossroads of Interstate 20 and State Highway 18 about 36 miles southwest of Odessa. Oilfield work, trucking, warehousing, and the school district keep the town busy, and its position on I-20 puts Midland-Odessa within commuting range while keeping small-town housing and short drives to work. People move here for steady Permian Basin jobs and stay for the quiet streets and Friday-night Loboes games. It’s honest, working West Texas — and it’s growing on its own terms.

Lubbock to Monahans 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 come all the way down to Monahans?

We do, and it’s a run our drivers know well: US-62/82 out of Lubbock to Brownfield, US-385 south through Seminole and Andrews, then I-20 west past Odessa to the Highway 18 exit — about three hours door to door. Our state and federal operating authority covers every mile of it, so serving Ward County is just part of our normal territory, not a special favor.

Day to day, that means we schedule your Monahans move in advance, the crew leaves Lubbock early with the truck fully equipped, and the same crew handles your job start to finish. You get one point of contact and one written quote, no matter which end of the trip you’re on.

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

Here’s the honest answer: Monahans is far enough out — around 175 miles — that we handle it as scheduled service rather than a daily local run, so we book a firm date and commit a crew to your move for the whole day. The travel is built into your free written estimate before we ever load a box, so there’s no surprise added at the end and no hidden fees.

As for speed, the drive down US-385 and I-20 is easy, open-road miles through Seminole, Andrews, and Odessa, so crews arrive on time and fresh. Once your date is on the calendar, the distance doesn’t slow your move down at all — most jobs load and finish on schedule the same day.

How far ahead do I need to book, and can you handle short notice if my job transfers fast?

A week or two of notice is ideal for a Monahans move, since we’re scheduling a crew and truck for a full-day trip down I-20, and end-of-month dates and summer weekends fill first. That said, we can often fit you in the same week you call, and sometimes even the same day if a crew is open.

We know how the oilfield works — transfers and housing changes in the Permian Basin don’t always wait for a tidy calendar. Call us at (806) 300-7394 as soon as you know your dates, tell us what’s moving, and we’ll find the fastest slot we can and put your quote in writing.

I'm moving from Monahans up to Lubbock — how does that usually go?

That’s our home lane, and most Monahans-to-Lubbock moves happen in a single day: the crew loads at your place in the morning, runs north through Odessa and Andrews or up through Seminole and Brownfield, and unloads at your new Lubbock address that afternoon. The same crew handles both ends, so nothing gets handed off or restacked along the way.

We move a lot of families timing things around the Monahans-Wickett-Pyote ISD calendar and plenty of folks headed to Texas Tech or new jobs in Lubbock. One written flat-rate quote covers the whole trip, travel included, so you know the full picture before moving day.

Can you handle a long-distance move from Monahans to somewhere else in Texas?

Yes — we run flat-rate long-distance moves from Monahans to anywhere in Texas. Sitting right on Interstate 20 works in your favor: Midland and Odessa are a short hop east, El Paso is a straight shot west, and the Metroplex is one highway the whole way, while our statewide authority covers everything in between, from San Antonio to Amarillo.

Your entire move goes on one written flat-rate quote up front — loading, the miles, and unloading at the far end — with no hidden fees added later. One crew, one truck, one number, wherever in Texas you’re headed.

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

We are, and we’ll show you the paperwork. Lubbock Moving Company operates under TXDMV #009155382C and USDOT #3426928, which gives us both statewide and federal authority — so every mile between Lubbock and Ward County, and anywhere else in Texas you’re headed, is fully covered.

That licensing matters more out here than people realize, because a long I-20 haul is exactly the kind of trip where you want an insured, registered carrier instead of a guy with a rented truck. You can verify both numbers yourself with the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles and the FMCSA before you book.

Do your crews actually know their way around Monahans, or will I be giving directions all day?

Our crews know Monahans well — we come off I-20 at the Highway 18 interchange, and from there the town is a straightforward grid we’ve worked plenty of times, from Sealy Avenue and Main Street downtown to the homes off Betty Avenue and the properties out along Loop 464 on the edges of town. Wide streets and good truck access make Monahans one of the easier towns in the Basin to work in.

We also know the local quirks, like keeping loads wrapped tight when the wind kicks sand off the dunes west of town near the state park. You won’t be drawing us a map — just tell us the address and unlock the door.

What does full-service actually include, and how do I get a quote for my Monahans move?

Full-service means our crew arrives with the truck, furniture pads, dollies, straps, and shrink wrap, and handles everything from there — packing and unpacking if you want it, careful loading, the drive, and placement in your new home. If you’ve already got a truck or a trailer, we also offer moving labor by itself, so you only pay for the muscle you need.

Getting a quote is simple: call (806) 300-7394, tell us what’s moving and where, and we’ll put a free written estimate in front of you with travel included and no hidden fees. We take cash and all major credit cards, and if your dates are tight, ask about same-week availability when you call.
