Moving in West Odessa
West Odessa is big and spread out: 62 square miles of unincorporated Ector County between the city limits and FM 866, home to 33,340 people in 2020, up about 47 percent in ten years. Lots of homes sit on an acre or more, plenty on caliche roads, and on a typical job out here we move a house, a shop, a trailer and a gun safe. Our crew lead grew up off the Kermit Highway, so none of it surprises us.

Got a Caliche Drive or a Gate?
Tell us when you book. Caliche roads go soft after a good rain, and a loaded 26-foot truck needs firm ground. We may bring a smaller truck or park at the road and carry in.
Locked gate, cattle guard, dogs in the yard? Let us know the plan ahead of time and nobody waits.
How Much Do Movers Cost in West Odessa?
Movers in West Odessa usually cost $119 to $189 an hour in 2026, the same as inside the city. A three-bedroom house with a shop usually takes three movers seven to nine hours, about $1,300 to $2,100. Long carries from the road, safes and shop gear add time, so mention them when you call.

| House on acreage plus shop | $1,300 to $2,100 | 7 to 9 hours |

Moving Services We Offer in West Odessa
Houses on Acreage
Long driveways, metal shops, outbuildings. We decide where the truck parks before we start, bring extra dollies for the long carry, and load the shop on its own so tools never ride on top of the dining table. In our experience the shop takes as long as the house.
Manufactured Home Moves
We move what is inside manufactured and mobile homes, not the home itself. Doors are narrow and floors are light, so furniture often comes apart and we lay boards over any soft spot on the porch.
Gun Safes and Heavy Equipment
Plenty of West Odessa homes have a safe in the bedroom or shop. We move safes on an appliance dolly or a safe dolly with enough people to keep it upright on steps and ramps.
Rent House Turnovers
West Odessa had a 24.7 percent rental vacancy rate in 2020, which tells you how often renters come and go with field work. We did 120 moves in West Odessa last year, a lot of them on the last day of the month.
What to Know About Moving in West Odessa
West Odessa is a census-designated place, not a city, so there are no city permits for a moving truck. Road quality changes street to street, though. Interstate 20 runs along the south edge with exits 104, 108, 112 and 113, the Kermit Highway runs through the middle, and nearly every move we do out here starts or ends on one of them.
Spring wind is the big weather problem out here. We’ve seen gusts drive sand and caliche dust into every drawer on a truck left open, so furniture stays padded and wrapped from the house to the truck and the doors stay shut when it kicks up.
Where We Work in West Odessa
The older part of West Odessa sits closest to the city, between Kermit Highway and I-20, with small frame houses, mobile homes and rentals on quarter-acre lots. Farther west, along the numbered county roads out toward FM 866, the lots get bigger and the driveways get longer. Up near SH 302 you start seeing newer brick houses on acreage with metal shops and horse pens.
That spread means two West Odessa moves can look nothing alike. One is a two-bedroom rent house that loads in three hours. The next is a four-bedroom on five acres with a shop, a safe and a trailer full of yard tools, and it takes a full day with four movers. We ask the right questions on the phone so the quote fits the job.
Moving Into West Odessa
Plenty of families move out here from the city for the space and the lower taxes outside the city limits. If you are buying land with an older home on it, measure the doors before moving day. Some 1970s mobile homes have 30-inch doors, and a modern sectional will not make the turn without coming apart.
When Roads Get Rough
After a big spring storm some West Odessa roads stay soft for two or three days. If your move falls right after one, we may switch to a 16-foot truck that makes two trips, or park at the pavement and use a dolly crew for the carry. Either way you hear about it before moving day, not when the truck is stuck.
The population is young, with a median age near 31, and many families moved in during the last oil boom. Next door to the north, we also serve Gardendale.
Movers in West Odessa FAQs
Can a moving truck get down my dirt road?
Usually. Our box trucks run fine on dry caliche and dirt roads. After a heavy rain some roads get too soft for a loaded truck, so we watch the forecast and may send a smaller truck or park at the road. Send us the address and we will check the route first.
Do you move mobile homes?
We move everything inside a mobile or manufactured home, but not the home itself. Towing the home needs a licensed manufactured home mover. We can time the contents move around the home transport so you are not without your things for long.
Do you move shop equipment?
Within reason, yes. Toolboxes, workbenches, shelving and hand tools move like anything else. Big machines bolted to the floor, welders on trailers and anything over about 1,000 pounds may need a wrecker or a forklift, and we will tell you up front when that is the case.
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.”
