Long-Distance Moving From Lubbock to Odessa, Texas
Why we love Odessa, Texas
Odessa is our kind of town — a place that works hard and doesn’t put on airs. This is the heart of the Permian Basin, where pump jacks nod along the highways and Friday nights belong to the Permian Panthers and the Odessa High Bronchos at Ratliff Stadium, a high school venue that seats close to 20,000 and earned national fame through Friday Night Lights. It’s also a town full of surprises: a full-scale replica of Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, a Stonehenge replica on the UT Permian Basin campus, and Jack Ben Rabbit, the eight-foot jackrabbit statue that’s stood watch since 1962.
To appreciate Odessa, it helps to know the history that shaped it — a story that starts with a railroad water stop on the open prairie and ends up at the center of one of the most productive oilfields on earth.

Early Settlement
Odessa traces its beginnings to 1881, when the Texas and Pacific Railway pushed west across the plains and needed a water stop for its steam engines. The story goes that railroad workers named the spot Odessa because the flat, grassy prairie reminded them of the steppe country around Odessa on the Black Sea. The first ranchers arrived in 1885, the townsite was promoted by the Odessa Land and Townsite Company, and the town was founded in 1886 as a rail-shipping point for livestock. For its first few decades, Odessa was cattle country through and through — a small ranching town on the T&P line.
Oil and Ranching Heritage
Everything changed when oil was discovered in Ector County in 1926, putting Odessa at the center of the Permian Basin. The town grew from a few hundred people to about 4,000 by 1930 and roughly 15,000 by 1940, as drillers, roughnecks, and supply houses poured in. Odessa became the distribution, processing, and servicing hub for the oilfield, a role it still holds today with major employers like Halliburton and Weatherford working out of town. The economy has ridden the oil patch’s booms and busts ever since, and Odessans have learned to take both in stride.
Community Spirit
Ask anybody in Texas about Odessa and they’ll mention Friday nights. The Ector County Independent School District’s two big rivals, the Permian Panthers and the Odessa High Bronchos, share Ratliff Stadium — nearly 20,000 seats of high school football that inspired the book, movie, and TV series Friday Night Lights. The town’s playful side shows up in Jack Ben Rabbit, the eight-foot jackrabbit statue erected in 1962 as a nod to Odessa’s jackrabbit roping days, plus dozens of painted jackrabbits scattered around town. Add a working replica of Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre and the Stonehenge replica at UT Permian Basin, and you’ve got a community with more character than most cities twice its size.
Modern Odessa
Today Odessa is home to about 114,000 people, making it one of the larger cities in West Texas and the seat of Ector County, which counts around 165,000 residents. It’s a working city anchored by the energy business, the University of Texas Permian Basin, and major healthcare centers like Medical Center Hospital and Odessa Regional Medical Center. When the oilfield is busy, people move here from all over the country for good-paying work, filling established neighborhoods like Mission Dorado and Sherwood Park and newer developments like Parks Legado on the east side. It’s a practical, friendly place where a handshake still means something — which suits us fine.

Lubbock to Odessa 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 Odessa?
We do, and we’ve been doing it for years. Odessa sits about 140 miles from our Lubbock base, straight down US-62/82 to Brownfield and then US-385 through Seagraves, Seminole, and Andrews — a flat, fast stretch of West Texas highway our drivers know well. On moving day the crew leaves Lubbock early, rolls into town on the Andrews Highway, and arrives at your door with the truck fully loaded with pads, dollies, straps, and shrink wrap.
Because Odessa is a scheduled trip rather than a daily local run, we set your date in advance and confirm everything in writing, so there’s no guesswork about when we’ll show up. From single-family homes near Sherwood Park to offices off JBS Parkway, we work Odessa jobs the same way we work Lubbock ones.
Does the drive from Lubbock make my Odessa move cost more or take longer?
It doesn’t sneak up on you, and that’s the point. Every Odessa move gets a free written estimate up front, and the travel from Lubbock is already built into that figure — no fuel surprises, no hidden fees, no add-ons after the fact. The run down US-385 is a familiar one for us, so we plan the day around it and still get full working hours at your home.
The honest trade-off is scheduling: since Odessa is a good distance out, we book these as planned trips rather than same-morning local runs. Tell us your dates early and we’ll lock one in; the written quote you approve is the price you pay.
How far ahead do I need to book, and can you handle short notice?
The sooner the better, especially at the end of the month and in summer when half the Permian Basin seems to be moving at once. A week or two of notice usually gives us plenty of room to schedule your Odessa trip, walk through your inventory, and get you a written estimate. Oilfield work moves fast out here, and we get that — jobs change, houses close early, leases end sooner than planned.
If you’re in a pinch, call us anyway at 806-855-8427. We can often fit an Odessa move in the same week, and sometimes even the same day, depending on how the schedule falls.
I'm moving between Odessa and Lubbock — is that an easy job for you?
That’s about the most natural move we do, since it runs right along our home route. Lots of folks make this exact trip — Odessa families heading up for Texas Tech, medical jobs, or a change of scenery, and Lubbock folks chasing oilfield work in the Basin. We load in one town in the morning, drive the roughly 140 miles up or down US-385 and US-62/82, and unload the same day in most cases.
You get one crew and one truck the whole way, so nothing gets handed off or warehoused in between. The written quote covers the entire door-to-door job, travel included.
Can you move me from Odessa to somewhere else in Texas, like DFW, Austin, or San Antonio?
Yes — long-distance moves anywhere in Texas are one of our specialties, and we hold both statewide and federal operating authority. From Odessa, we regularly take families east on I-20 toward Fort Worth and Dallas or down through the Hill Country to Austin and San Antonio. These moves are quoted flat-rate in writing, so the number you approve before loading is the number you pay when we’re done.
Your belongings ride on one truck with one crew from your Odessa driveway to your new front door, which means less handling and fewer chances for damage. Call 806-855-8427 with your destination and we’ll put together a written flat-rate quote.
Are you actually licensed and insured to move me in Odessa?
We are, and we’d encourage you to check — plenty of pickup-and-trailer outfits work the Basin without any authority at all. Lubbock Moving Company operates under TXDMV #009155382C for moves anywhere in Texas and USDOT #3426928 for federal authority, and you can verify both numbers with the state and federal databases yourself. That licensing comes with the insurance coverage those agencies require, so your belongings are protected the entire trip.
It also means we’re accountable: real paperwork, real written estimates, and a real company standing behind the job. After 15-plus years serving the South Plains, we’ve got a track record you can look up, not just promises.
Do your crews actually know their way around Odessa?
They do — we’ve been running the Permian Basin for years, and Odessa isn’t a mystery to us. Our crews know the difference between backing a truck into an established neighborhood like Mission Dorado or the ranch-style streets around Sherwood Park versus staging at a new build out by Parks Legado on the east side. We know 42nd Street and JBS Parkway get thick around lunch and quitting time, and we plan around it, using Loop 338 to get across town clean.
We also handle plenty of jobs out in West Odessa, where long gravel drives and acreage lots call for a little extra planning. Local knowledge like that saves time on the clock, and that works in your favor.
What exactly does full-service include, and how do I get a quote?
Full-service means you can be as hands-off as you want: we pack, load, haul, unload, and unpack, and the crew arrives with the truck, furniture pads, dollies, straps, and shrink wrap already on board. We handle residential moves, commercial and office relocations, long-distance flat-rate moves anywhere in Texas, and straight labor help if you’ve already got a truck or a container in the driveway. Everything is spelled out in a free written estimate before moving day, and we take cash and all major credit cards.
Getting the quote is simple: call 806-855-8427, tell us where you are in Odessa and where you’re headed, and walk us through what’s moving. We’ll put a firm written number in your hands with no hidden fees.
