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.

Tasks for the Weeks Ahead

  • Email Richland Hills your water stop date
  • Settle Haltom City water by Thursday
  • Shut off sprinklers before a Bedford freeze
  • Ask your Abilene builder for gate codes
  • Watch NWS San Angelo storm alerts
  • Get your builder's closing date in writing
  • Measure doorways at the new house
  • Book load day between Hendrick shifts

Start this list the week your offer letter or contract arrives.

Leaving 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.

    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.

    Abilene Details Worth Knowing Early

    • Hendrick Medical Center holds 438 beds; Hendrick South holds 231
    • Wylie High plans for as many as 2,500 students within seven years
    • An RV guest may stay on a home lot only 14 days in any 60-day span
    • Abilene's latest spring freeze on record came April 21, 2021

    Answers

    Your Questions About Bedford to Abilene Moves

    What do movers charge from Bedford to Abilene?
    Studios and one-bedroom units run $1,150 to $1,350. For two or three bedrooms, plan on $1,350 to $1,550; homes of four bedrooms or larger fall in the $1,550 to $2,050 range. Your walkthrough fixes the final number. To test a few home sizes first, open our Abilene move cost calculator.
    How long is the trip, and what delivery options exist?
    The run covers 164 miles, about 2.5 hours on the road, and delivery usually happens in 1 day. Book a dedicated truck and only your household rides in it, with arrival on a fixed date. Sharing a truck with another household lowers the cost, and delivery then falls inside a window we confirm in writing, which suits a flexible start date.
    What does it take to reserve a Bedford to Abilene date?
    Each truck on your move needs a $500 deposit to hold the date. Larger homes of four bedrooms or more typically fill 2 trucks, so you place a deposit on each. Wisetack financing can split the balance into payments. Checking your options uses only a soft credit pull, plans at 0% APR are available, and there are no fees.
    Where will Hendrick's labor and delivery care be based?
    At the main Hendrick Medical Center campus. In January 2026, Hendrick announced it would bring obstetric and NICU care together at The BirthPlace there. The BirthPlace at Hendrick South was set to close in summer 2026. Labor and delivery or NICU staff may want a home closer to Pine Street. Confirm your unit with your manager, then send us the address.
    Can you handle a nursing or pharmacy student's move to TTUHSC?
    Yes. TTUHSC's Abilene campus sits at 1674 Pine Street, next to Hendrick Health. It houses the School of Nursing, the Jerry H. Hodge School of Pharmacy and the Julia Jones Matthews School of Population and Public Health. A student apartment often fits our smallest price tier. Send your lease start and class calendar, and we will pick a load day clear of exams.
    Will ice in Bedford push back my load day?
    It can. During the January 2026 winter storm, Bedford crews brined major roads, then switched to a salt and sand mix, but the city does not brine neighborhood streets. So a treated main road can sit beside an icy side street. If yours ices over, we talk with you about a later start or a new date before the crew rolls.
    Should I file a homestead exemption after buying in Abilene?
    Yes, if the house will be your main home. Taylor Central Appraisal District says filing a homestead application costs nothing, so there is no need to pay anyone to do it. You can file through the district's online forms service or download the application. Questions go to its office at 1534 S. Treadaway Blvd. in Abilene.
    Which items belong in my own vehicle on moving day?
    Anything you need for your first shifts: license papers, badges, scrubs, work shoes and any medical gear you use daily. Add medicines, chargers and your closing or lease papers, plus a small cooler for the drive west. For everything else, work through our Abilene move prep checklist.
    Can I finish the walkthrough after I've started work in Abilene?
    Yes. A relative or friend at the Bedford house can carry the phone room by room during a video walkthrough. We note closets, the garage and anything heavy, then send the written price to you for approval. Dates and booking get settled without a drive back east.
