You hire the company whose own crew drives your truck. Evolution is not a broker; it holds Texas household goods carrier authority in its own name. Every mover clears background and drug screening and completes a two-week training program. Pads, shrink wrap and day-use wardrobe boxes come at no extra cost on every Abilene job. Compare our long distance moves out of Bedford across other Texas lanes.

Long Distance Movers from Bedford to Abilene
Bedford to Abilene movers who leave Harwood Road, circle Fort Worth on the north loop, then hold the interstate west across Callahan County. A walkthrough by video or in person comes first, followed by a written price that works as your ceiling. Share your first workday or closing day, and we will hold a crew for it.

Westbound Run
Bedford to Abilene Drive Guide
Your truck leaves Bedford on Airport Freeway, then picks up Loop 820 and curves around the north and west sides of Fort Worth. TxDOT is studying that Northwest Loop because freight and commuter traffic crowd the same lanes, and the frontage roads break at the Lake Worth Bridge. We schedule departures to cross the bridge ahead of the morning rush. South of Lake Worth, I-30 hands the truck to I-20, which runs west through Baird to the Taylor County line. Your crew plans a single fuel stop on the open stretch, so arrival lines up with your keys.
Loading off Keller Hicks Road takes extra planning this fall. The city’s October 2026 update shows traffic running one way, westbound toward the Park Vista Roundabout. The last lane and south side driveways are due by December 2026. We bring the truck in from the Lauren Way end so it moves with the flow. In Abilene, city rules keep RVs and travel trailers off public streets, alleys and parkways, and any trailer must sit on concrete, gravel or pavement. If you tow one, park it in the driveway and leave the curb for us.
Our walkthrough logs every staircase, the longest carry and where a truck can stand at both homes. That list decides your crew count and which truck rolls. Your coordinator then confirms the parking plan, the departure hour and the unload window by text. Meet the HEB area moving team behind the plan.

Request My Walkthrough Call (682) 651-5505Leaving Bedford: Haltom City Bulk Days
Every pound you leave behind trims the price on this route, so sort big pieces before the walkthrough. In Haltom City, homes on curbside service can set out a worn sofa, stove or water heater. Waste Connections normally hauls it away on the second pickup day that week. Residents can also haul items to the Waste Connections bulk drop-off station on Minnis Drive. Fewer heavy pieces may also shrink your crew tier.
Settling into Abilene: Wylie ISD Growth
South Abilene keeps growing. Wylie ISD reports growth of 3 to 5 percent a year. Its new K-5 school on FM 707, west of Buffalo Gap Road, was slated to open by August 2026. For a new build, send us the lot and block, your builder's contact and a photo of the street, so the crew finds the right driveway. Ask the builder when the driveway is ready for a loaded truck.
Taking a Job at Hendrick Health
Hendrick Health employs about 5,400 people and serves 24 counties from its Abilene base. The main hospital sits at 1900 Pine Street, and Hendrick Medical Center South stands on US-83/84 in south Abilene. Living near your campus trims the drive before an early shift. Tell us which campus you report to, and we will time delivery so your bedroom is set up before day one.
Abilene Hail Season and Freeze Dates
NWS San Angelo says large hail, damaging winds and even tornadoes strike West Central Texas every year. A storm counts as severe at 58 mph gusts or 1-inch hail. Cold follows its own calendar: Abilene's average first freeze lands November 11, and the average last one comes March 21. Every piece gets pads and shrink wrap, truck doors stay shut between carries, and the crew checks radar before rolling west.
Price Guide
How Much Does Moving from Bedford to Abilene Cost?
Weight drives your number. We add the movers and trucks your home needs, then price in stairs, long carries and parking at each address, plus any packing or storage you pick. All of it lands on one written cap. Come in under it and you pay the lower amount; you never pay more unless the inventory or services change.
| Size of home | Typical weight | Crew and trucks | Price range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio or 1 bedroom | 1,500 to 3,500 lbs | 2 movers, 1 truck | $1,150 to $1,350 |
| 2 to 3 bedrooms | 4,000 to 8,000 lbs | 3 movers, 1 truck | $1,350 to $1,550 |
| 4+ bedrooms | 9,000 to 13,000 lbs | 4 movers, 2 trucks | $1,550 to $2,050 |
Your crew, the truck, its fuel, the whole run west and any TEXpress toll on Loop 820 or Airport Freeway sit inside each range. A 2.5% fee applies when you pay the balance by card.

Home Base
Harwood Road Is Where Your Abilene Move Begins
Every Abilene walkthrough lands at our Harwood Road office in Bedford. The team there chooses the truck, names your crew and sets the start time. TxDOT calls Loop 820 a hazardous material route with heavy truck volume, so planners send your truck across the west side before commuters pile in. Clearing the loop early keeps the unload in daylight. Call (682) 651-5505 weekdays from 8 AM to 6 PM, Saturdays from 8 AM to 5 PM or Sundays from 9 AM to 5 PM. While your load rolls west, your coordinator watches the truck's position. You get a text once the crew gets close to Abilene, so someone can meet them with keys.
What Moves Your Abilene Number:
- Household weight logged at your walkthrough
- Crew size your floor plan calls for
- Whether a second truck joins the run
- Stairs and carry distance in Bedford
- Driveway access at a new Wylie ISD build
- Nights in storage before Abilene delivery
- Delivery near Pine Street or Hendrick South
- Loop 820 timing for the departure
The price is tied to the scope you approved, and any change to that scope needs your signature before the total moves.

Abilene is a larger, younger city than Bedford, yet homes cost less and trips to work run shorter. For a nurse or pharmacist, that can mean a mortgage one paycheck covers and less time in traffic between shifts. Household incomes there trail Bedford’s, so weigh the offer against the house you want. A short lease near your campus gives you time to learn the neighborhoods before you buy.
School district lines can change your tax bill. Taylor CAD’s 2025 rate sheet lists Wylie ISD at $1.1499 per $100 of value and Abilene ISD at $0.9580. County and city rates stack on top, so the school gap repeats on every bill. Review the Taylor CAD 2025 tax rate list before you choose a street.
