Moving in Crane
Crane has been an oil town since the 1926 discovery, and it is the only real town in Crane County, 3,478 people in 2020. The population peaked in 1960, so a lot of the houses are mid-century: small frame and brick homes, narrow halls, single-car garages. We did 31 moves in Crane last year, most of them heading north for work.

Moving Services We Offer in Crane
Crane to Odessa and Midland
Most Crane moves we do head north for work, school or family. We load in Crane and unload in Odessa or Midland the same day, usually by mid-afternoon.
Older Homes, Narrow Halls
Mid-century houses mean tight halls and small bedroom doors. Bed frames, mirrored dressers and dining tables come apart before they get carried, and the door frames get padded first. Honestly, the old houses go easier than people expect once the big pieces are apart.
Long Distance From Crane
McCamey, San Angelo, San Antonio and farther. One crew handles it from loading to delivery, on a written quote.
Storage While You Find a House
Moving up to Odessa for a job before you have found a place? We hold your household in our warehouse month to month while you look.
What to Know About Moving in Crane
Realtor O.C. Kinnison laid out the town and named the streets after his kids, and the simple 1930s boomtown grid is still there. That makes parking a truck easy on most streets. Alleys are another story: most are too tight for a 26-foot box truck, so we load from the front.
Crane has a hot semiarid climate: brutal summers, sudden thunderstorms, freezing winter mornings. On summer afternoons we watch the radar and keep a tarp and extra shrink wrap on the truck for pop-up storms. Rode fine every time so far.
Planning a Move From Crane
Crane moves are usually simple, which is why people are tempted to do them with a borrowed trailer. The catch is the 32 miles of US 385 in the middle. An unstrapped load shifts at highway speed, and a crosswind on the open stretch north of town pushes a trailer around. Strap it for the wind, or let us.
Before moving day, measure the big pieces and the doors at the new house. A lot of families moving up from Crane go from a small mid-century house to a bigger one in Odessa, which is easy. Going the other way, into a Crane rental, is where the sectional does not fit.
Moving Into Crane
Field jobs bring people into Crane all the time, often with a few weeks’ notice. We can move you down from Odessa or Midland, or bring in a load from out of state on a long distance quote. Company housing moves are quick and billed by the hour.
Estate Moves in Crane
When a longtime Crane resident passes or moves to be near family, the kids often live hours away. We can pack the house, deliver pieces to each family member, haul away what nobody wants and leave the place broom clean, with photos sent along the way.
Pianos, Safes and Heavy Pieces
For a small town, Crane has a lot of heavy furniture: church pianos, gun safes, old cast-iron stoves and solid oak dining sets that came out with the first oil money. Those need the right dolly, ratchet straps and enough people on the steps. We bring the gear for the heaviest piece on the list, not the average one.
Tell us about any piece over about 300 pounds when you call, and how many steps it has to cross. The quote stays honest that way.
East along I-20 past Midland, we also serve Stanton.
Movers in Crane FAQs
Do you charge a travel fee to come to Crane?
No separate travel fee. Crane is 32 miles from Odessa, so it is a local move. You pay the hourly rate for the crew and truck, and the drive between your two homes is part of the billed time. Your written quote shows the estimate before we roll.
Can you move just a few items from Crane?
Yes. A bedroom set, a couch or a few pieces going to family in Odessa is a small move billed by the hour with a three hour minimum. For one or two big items it is often cheapest to ride along with another move we already have booked that week.
How do I prepare an older house for movers?
Clear the halls, take pictures down and empty the dresser drawers so they are light enough to carry through tight doors. Tell us about steep steps or a narrow back door when you call, and we will plan which pieces come apart before we get there.
Your Move Is Our Priority
“My husband works a 14 on, 14 off schedule out of Pecos, so I booked the whole move from my phone. They packed the kitchen the day before and had us in the new place in Midland before he got home. Not one dish broken.”
Marisol R.Odessa to Midland “Three guys, one truck, a 4 bedroom brick house off Grandview and my mother’s upright piano. Wrapped everything, strapped it like they meant it and were done by 3. The bill matched the quote to the dollar.”
Dale W.Odessa “Our closing got pushed back two weeks. They kept our whole house in their warehouse and delivered it out to Gardendale the day we got the keys. Easy.”
