Evolution Moving Company is a licensed carrier, not a broker, so the people who price your move are the people who drive it. Brothers Ryan and Cameron Hughey still run this family-owned company and answer for every crew. Pads, shrink wrap and furniture disassembly with reassembly come inside the price, never as surprise add-ons. See how our long distance service out of Austin works.

Route Plan
Austin to Lubbock Road Notes
From central Austin the truck usually joins MoPac, and the stretch between US 183 and Loop 360 made the 2025 Texas 100 list of congested roads. We pull out ahead of the morning crush there. US 183 then runs north to Lampasas, and US 84 bends west through Goldthwaite and Brownwood, roughly a third of the trip. Drivers refuel in Brownwood. Two-lane state roads cross Winters, a short I-20 leg follows, and US 84 angles northwest into Lubbock.
Loading in Circle C Ranch has its own etiquette. The HOA’s architectural committee says work access must come from your own lot, not the greenbelt or landscaped commons. So we stage from the street and your driveway. Unloading in Lubbock means learning the trash rhythm. City crews empty residential dumpsters twice a week, on a Monday and Thursday or Tuesday and Friday pattern. We ask your pickup days so the truck never blocks the collection route.
Before booking, your walkthrough tells us the furniture count, the tight turns and how far the truck sits from each door. That sets the crew size, the truck choice and a parking plan for both curbs. One coordinator keeps the schedule, the paperwork and your questions in a single thread. Our Austin moving team runs this lane often, so the plan comes from experience on these roads.
Before You Head West
- Cancel Austin utilities for after loading
- Confirm your Lubbock closing and key dates
- Forward mail from Austin to Lubbock
- Label every box with a Lubbock room
- Check West Central Texas forecasts before departure
- Have Austin parking clear by sunrise
- Measure doorways in your Lubbock floor plan
- Photograph electronics wiring before unplugging anything
Bring this list to your walkthrough and we will mark what fits your dates.

What Does Moving from Austin to Lubbock Cost?
Your price grows from the weight you ship, the crew needed to carry it, and whether one truck or two makes the trip. Stairs, long walks and packing add labor. After the walkthrough, we put a firm upper limit in writing, and that ceiling only moves if you add items and approve the change.
| Your home | Approx. load | Team | Typical cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio or 1 bedroom | 1,500 to 3,500 lbs | 2 movers, 1 truck | $2,300 to $2,500 |
| 2 to 3 bedrooms | 4,000 to 8,000 lbs | 3 movers, 1 truck | $2,500 to $2,700 |
| 4+ bedrooms | 9,000 to 13,000 lbs | 4 movers, 2 trucks | $2,700 to $3,200 |
Each range covers the crew, the truck, fuel, any tolls and the full drive to your Lubbock door. Balances paid by card carry a 2.5% fee.

Leaving Austin: Avery Ranch Homes
Avery Ranch covers 1,800 acres in northwest Austin, with almost 4,000 homes planned at completion. Many of those garages hold years of golf bags, patio sets and spare fridges. Every pound rides into the weight-based price, so sort the garage first. Sell or donate what your Lubbock plan has no room for, then show the crew only what is going west.
Settling into Lubbock Without Clutter
Mattresses and big furniture that keep a dumpster lid from closing belong at a Lubbock Citizen Convenience Station instead. The four sites open Monday through Saturday, and staff want a driver license with a city address or a current city utility bill. Tell us early which old pieces stay behind, and the crew will set them by the garage so they never ride in the truck.
Building in Lubbock: Closing Dates
Lubbock issued 155 single-family home permits in September 2026 and 1,133 so far this year. Weekly logs show new builds in Viridian, Cypress Ranch, Bushland Springs and Hatton Place. Power comes only after the meter base passes inspection and your agent files a New Construction Request for an Electric Meter. Send us your closing and meter dates, and we will set delivery to match.
Storms on the South Plains
On September 15, 2026, storms dropped quarter-size hail on the northwest edge of Lubbock, and a mesonet site south of Wolfforth logged a 71 mph gust. Winter brings its own risk on the drive, with NWS San Angelo warning of freezing rain glaze to heavy snow. Every piece gets pads and shrink wrap, and the truck stays closed whenever weather turns.

Pianos and Heavy Items
Uprights, safes and gun cabinets need boards, straps and extra hands. We plan the route through both homes so heavy pieces travel west without scraped floors.

The gap in home values is the headline. A budget that buys a modest Austin house can cover a newer, larger build in Lubbock, which is why so many buyers shop new subdivisions. Shorter commutes also change daily life, and a younger population keeps rentals busy near campus. Price your new floor plan before you shed furniture, since more rooms may need more pieces.
One cost the table misses is the utility setup. City of Lubbock Utilities bills water, wastewater, storm water and solid waste together on one account, and the city posts a New Resident Checklist for start-up steps. Open that account before move day so the taps run when the crew arrives.
Lubbock Changes to Plan For
- Residential trash service costs $20.50 a month on the city utility bill
- City building criteria assume a 15 F winter design low for new homes
- The Lubbock VA Clinic on 4th Street offers walk-in urgent care
- UMC runs one of only four verified burn centers in Texas

Lubbock Moves Planned by Our Austin Team
Our Austin team serves the city and nearby areas from a service-area listing, so the work happens on your walkthrough call and at your door. Staff review the video, choose the truck size and crew, and time departure so the truck clears MoPac before rush builds. That early start puts the crew in Lubbock with daylight left to unload. Call (512) 595-3003 Monday to Saturday, 7:30 AM to 7:30 PM; we are closed Sunday. Once the truck leaves Austin, your coordinator watches its progress and texts you updates as it passes Brownwood and rolls on into Lubbock. Questions about arrival time go to that same person.
