We hold our own household goods carrier license and are not a broker. The company pricing your Temple move also owns the truck and employs the people who load it. Taking furniture apart and putting it back together comes standard, not as an add-on. The owners who started Evolution still run it, and the Bedford team behind our long moves covers Texas and the lower 48 states.
Bedford to Temple Moving
Bedford to Temple Movers
With Evolution's Bedford to Temple movers, your household heads out on Airport Freeway and turns south at Fort Worth for the Central Texas run. First comes a walkthrough by video or in person, and it ends with a firm ceiling on your bill in writing. Tell us your date and we will hold a crew.

Every score here links to a public page, starting with the Google listing for our Bedford office, so you can verify each one.
The Route
Bedford to Temple Drive Plan
The first miles follow Airport Freeway west, with SH 183 and SH 121 running together through Hurst. Past Hurst, SH 183 peels away and SH 121 carries on to I-35W near downtown Fort Worth. I-35W then heads south past Burleson to Hillsboro, the halfway mark, and merges into I-35 for Waco, Lorena and Troy. East-side Bedford homes past the SH 121 interchange load beside an Airport Freeway segment reaching SH 360. It made the 2025 Texas 100 Most Congested Roadways list, so those trucks wait out the morning crush. Hillsboro is where the driver can fuel up or rest.
Heat is the loading problem on the Bedford end. NWS Fort Worth logged 42 straight days of 100 degrees or more at DFW in 1980. It has also recorded 106 degrees as late as October 3. So we aim to carry the heaviest pieces in the cooler morning hours. In Temple, the Bird Creek neighborhood follows winding roads with hills and valleys under a thick tree canopy. Those curves and low limbs limit where a long box truck can stop on your street.
Planning starts with a walkthrough, on video or at your home, that counts rooms, stairs and bulky pieces. That count sets the crew size and tells us whether one truck is enough. We plan parking at both houses, including the tightest Temple curb, and one coordinator keeps the details in writing. Our Bedford-area moving office runs the whole plan, so the crew shows up already knowing your house.
Before Your Temple Move
- Book your Bedford walkthrough by video
- Ask your Temple builder for walk dates
- Start Temple ISD enrollment online
- Forward Bedford mail to Temple
- Plan winter departures around Waco fog
- Label boxes with Temple room names
- Keep closing papers and keys with you
- Photograph TV and computer wiring first
Check these off early and your Bedford load day stays on schedule.

Bedford to Temple Moving Cost
Pounds come first, since the weight we load drives most of your price. That weight also decides how many movers and trucks you need. Stairs, a long Temple carry and added packing come next. The walkthrough turns it all into one capped figure. Your final bill can land under it, never over, unless you change the job.
| Home size | Est. weight | Crew | Typical range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio or 1 bedroom | 1,500 to 3,500 lbs | 2 movers, 1 truck | $1,250 to $1,450 |
| 2 to 3 bedrooms | 4,000 to 8,000 lbs | 3 movers, 1 truck | $1,450 to $1,650 |
| 4+ bedrooms | 9,000 to 13,000 lbs | 4 movers, 2 trucks | $1,650 to $2,150 |
Each range pays for labor, the truck, fuel and the trip down I-35, plus any toll on the Airport Freeway TEXpress lanes through Hurst. Card payments add a 2.5% fee.

Side by Side
Bedford and Temple: Reading the City Gap
Both columns come from one U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey release, so the figures line up year for year.
| Measure | Bedford, TX | Temple, TX |
|---|---|---|
| Population | 49,085 | 89,602 |
| Median household income | $83,971 | $68,204 |
| Median home value | $350,700 | $239,000 |
| Average commute | 24.5 min | 21.0 min |
| Median age | 39.5 | 33.8 |
| State income tax | None | None |
Source: U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024 5-year estimates, retrieved through Data USA.
Temple has more residents than Bedford, yet its typical home is worth far less, so the same budget can buy more space. People there skew younger and household incomes run lower, which matters if you plan to take a local job. The average commute is a bit shorter, giving back a few minutes each workday.
Property tax is the bill this table leaves out. On the 2026 rate table from the Tax Appraisal District of Bell County, the City of Temple charges $0.75 for each $100 of appraised value. The city also lists a 20% local homestead exemption. Temple ISD shows the state’s $140,000 school homestead exemption. Have your lender add up the city, county and school rates before closing.
What Else Changes in Temple
- Temple ISD's 2022 bond plan put a new elementary in the southeast quadrant
- Crestview, on the southeast side, has open land primed for new homes
- Temple reports $366 million in quality-of-life projects underway
- The HOP, Temple's regional transit system, serves four counties
Leaving Bedford: Empty the Cabinets
Start with the medicine cabinet. The Bedford Police Department lobby at 2121 L. Don Dodson Dr. has a drop box for old pills, patches and pet medications, open weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Liquids, inhalers and needles are not accepted there. For clothes and housewares you will not need, the city lists a Goodwill Donation Station at 2101 Bedford Rd. Each box you donate is weight we never load or bill.
Settling into Temple's Historic District
Temple's Historic District, near downtown, was once home to two Texas governors and the founder of Baylor Scott & White Health. Its historic homes sit among mature landscaping, so hedges, trees and front steps can lengthen the walk from truck to door. Send us photos of the front walk and measure your widest doorway before load day. The crew then arrives sized for that carry, with no guesswork at the curb.
Trading Bedford Prices for More House
Temple's economic development office courts people tired of Dallas and Austin prices, pointing to lower housing costs. The jobs are there too. McLane Company, Wilsonart and an H-E-B retail distribution center make its major employer list. East Penn is also adding 48 jobs with a plant expansion due in fall 2028. If a new job brings you here, tell us your start date so the move lands before day one.
September Rain and Heat in Temple
Temple's normal September high is 89.9 degrees, so summer is not over when school starts. That month's normal rainfall of 3.79 inches is the third highest of the year in NWS Fort Worth records for the city. A pop-up storm during unloading is the real risk. Pads and stretch wrap, included in your price, go on upholstered pieces before they leave Bedford, so a passing shower wets the outer layer, not the fabric.

Bedford Office
Temple Moves Are Planned on Harwood Road
The Harwood Road office sits at 313 Harwood Rd, Suite 217. It checks every walkthrough, fits the crew and truck count to your inventory, and chooses the load hour. For east-side homes past the SH 121 interchange, that hour avoids the worst of SH 183. TTI's 2025 truck rankings put that stretch at number 77 in Texas. Phones at (682) 651-5505 are answered Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 6 PM. Weekend hours run 8 AM to 5 PM on Saturdays and 9 AM to 5 PM on Sundays. Once the truck rolls, your coordinator stays reachable by text and confirms the arrival time as it nears Temple.

Your Temple Price Depends On:
- Pounds loaded at your Bedford home
- Crew size your inventory calls for
- Whether the load fills a second truck
- Load time around the SH 183 rush
- Carry distance on winding Temple streets
- Stairs at the Bedford or Temple house
- Packing help for kitchens and closets
- Heavy pieces like pianos or safes
The total changes only when the job does, and you sign off on any new number before it applies.

The Process
From a Bedford Walkthrough to a Temple Unload
1
Start with a Tour
Give us a room-by-room tour on video or in person. We note heavy furniture, stairs and fragile pieces so load day holds no surprises.
2
Get Your Capped Price
You get one written number with the crew, trucks and services spelled out. That not-to-exceed figure is the most you will pay for the job as described.
3
Reserve the Date
Pay the truck deposit to hold your date, then expect a text confirming the crew's arrival window along with your written plan.
4
Down I-35W and I-35
Every piece is padded and wrapped inside your Bedford home. The truck then takes Airport Freeway to I-35W and stays on I-35 from Hillsboro through Waco to Temple.
5
Unloaded in Temple
Furniture goes into the right rooms, and beds and tables are put back together. The crew then tours the house with you, from a Garden District ranch to a new build.
