Moving from Lubbock to Amarillo is a short-haul move of roughly 133 road miles, heading north within Texas.

Because the two cities are close together, most companies quote this move by the hour: a crew of two to four movers plus a truck, with the drive of about 3 h counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $2,020 and $3,000, before packing or storage.

On the Lubbock side there are 110 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (38 of them authorized for interstate work), and 82 around Amarillo (45 interstate). For an in-state 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 Amarillo.

Lubbock has a population of about 273,071 and Amarillo about 205,130. The two cities have comparable density (1,910 and 1,959 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.

Tips for this move

For a move under about 150 miles you can often choose between an hourly and a flat rate—ask for both.
Confirm whether travel time between Lubbock and Amarillo is billed one way or round trip.
A single-day move is realistic here; schedule loading in the morning so the crew arrives in Amarillo with daylight to spare.
Check Texas intrastate mover rules; many states require a state permit in addition to a USDOT number.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Lubbock to Amarillo?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,210 to $1,790 for a studio, $1,210 to $1,800 for a one-bedroom, $2,020 to $3,000 for a two-bedroom, $3,230 to $4,800 for a three-bedroom and $4,440 to $6,600 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Amarillo from Lubbock?

About 133 road miles (113 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 3 h.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 1 to 2 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.

Do I need an interstate-licensed mover for an in-state move?

No. Because both Lubbock and Amarillo are in Texas, this is an intrastate move regulated by the state rather than the FMCSA. Still, choosing a carrier with an active USDOT number is the easiest way to confirm the company is a registered motor carrier with insurance on file.

Is it cheaper to rent a truck or use a container for Lubbock to Amarillo?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $290 to $400 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,140 to $1,670. 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 Lubbock–Amarillo corridor.
