Reverse: Lubbock → Montgomery

The route from Montgomery, AL to Lubbock, TX covers roughly 1,072 miles by road, a west-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 $4,510 to $6,710 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 3 to 7 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 19 h 11 min.

On the Montgomery side there are 172 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (94 of them authorized for interstate work), and 110 around Lubbock (38 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 Lubbock.

Montgomery has a population of about 195,300 and Lubbock about 273,071. Lubbock is the denser city (1,910 people per square mile versus 1,255 in Montgomery), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Texas is a higher-cost state than Alabama, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses. 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 Montgomery to Lubbock?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,810 to $2,690 for a studio, $2,710 to $4,030 for a one-bedroom, $4,510 to $6,710 for a two-bedroom, $7,220 to $10,740 for a three-bedroom and $9,930 to $14,770 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Lubbock from Montgomery?

About 1,072 road miles (909 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 19 h 11 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 3 to 7 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 Alabama 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 Montgomery to Lubbock?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,550 to $2,190 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,980 to $2,910. 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 Montgomery–Lubbock corridor.
