Reverse: Odessa → Dodge City

The route from Dodge City, KS to Odessa, TX covers roughly 504 miles by road, a south-bound trip that falls into the long-distance move category for pricing purposes.

At this distance carriers price by shipment weight and mileage rather than by the hour. A two-bedroom home (around 5,000 lb of goods) typically costs $3,240 to $4,820 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 2 to 5 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 9 h 23 min.

On the Dodge City side there are 10 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (7 of them authorized for interstate work), and 84 around Odessa (42 interstate). For an interstate move you can book from either end; movers near the origin handle loading and are usually the better first call, while a destination-side company can be useful if you need storage or delivery-day help in Odessa.

Dodge City has a population of about 28,000 and Odessa about 122,707. The two cities have comparable density (1,885 and 2,239 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Texas levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Dodge City to Odessa?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,300 to $1,930 for a studio, $1,940 to $2,890 for a one-bedroom, $3,240 to $4,820 for a two-bedroom, $5,180 to $7,710 for a three-bedroom and $7,130 to $10,600 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Odessa from Dodge City?

About 504 road miles (427 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 9 h 23 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 2 to 5 days after pickup. Carriers give a spread rather than a fixed date because long-distance trucks carry several shipments; a dedicated truck or expedited service shortens the window for an extra fee.

Does my mover need interstate authority for this move?

Yes. Crossing from Kansas into Texas makes this an interstate move, so the carrier must hold active FMCSA operating authority (an MC number) in addition to its USDOT number. The company cards on this page flag which carriers are authorized for interstate work.

Is it cheaper to rent a truck or use a container for Dodge City to Odessa?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $820 to $1,150 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,470 to $2,160. Both save money versus a full-service crew but you do the loading, and container transit can take longer than a mover's delivery window.

When is the least expensive time to book this move?

Rates are highest in summer and around the last days of any month, when demand peaks. Mid-month, mid-week and winter dates are usually quoted below the standard rate. Booking four to eight weeks ahead gives you the widest choice of carriers on the Dodge City–Odessa corridor.
