Moving Help in Odessa, TX
Odessa Superior Movers offers moving help in Odessa, TX for when you already have the truck. Our labor only movers load or unload rental trucks, trailers and portable containers, carry furniture between rooms and stack a load so it rides to Dallas without shifting.
What Is Labor Only Moving?
You rent the truck, trailer or container. We bring the people, the pads and the dollies. You drive. Labor only moving costs less than full service for anyone driving a rental to another city or using a container, and it spares your back and your friends’ weekend.
We’d rather you not pay for a truck twice. If you already have one, this is the cheaper way, and our crew can unload at the other end too if it is inside our area.
How Our Moving Help Works
Bring the truck. We bring the rest. Our crews loaded 230 rental trucks and containers last year.

Types of Moving Labor
Loading a Rental Truck
Our most common moving labor job. Heavy furniture goes in first against the cab wall, boxes go up in tiers, and each tier gets strapped to the rails on the truck wall. Loaded right, a truck holds more and arrives with nothing broken.
Loading a Portable Container
Containers dropped in your driveway get loaded tight and strapped, because they are lifted and hauled on a flatbed. Loose loads shift in transit.
Unloading Help
Driving a rental truck into Odessa? We unload, carry everything inside and bolt the beds back together, so you can turn the truck in the same day and stop paying for it.
Heavy Furniture and Appliance Moves
Gun safes, refrigerators, washers and dryers, armoires and pool tables moved inside the house or out to the shop. We bring the appliance dolly and enough people. Our heaviest safe this year was 1,100 pounds, up two steps.
Labor Only vs Full-Service Moving
Labor only is cheaper when you drive the truck yourself. Full-service makes more sense for long distance moves where your time off work, fuel and the truck rental add up, or when you need storage. We will tell you honestly which costs less for your move.
How to Get the Most From Labor Only Movers
Have the truck parked and the ramp down when the crew arrives. Tape every box shut, take the TV off the wall, and drain gas from the mower. Then let the crew lead build the load. We go heavy low, long first, the same way you rack pipe, and a well-built load fits 10 to 20 percent more than one thrown in by hand.
If you are driving a rental truck across the state, ask us to strap every tier to the truck rails, not just the last one. The wind across the flats between Odessa and Abilene will find any loose stack. Honestly, it is the cheapest insurance you can buy on a move.
Moving Help FAQs
Do you bring a truck for labor only jobs?
No. Labor only means you bring the rental truck, trailer or container, and we bring the crew and gear. If you would rather skip the truck rental altogether, we will quote a full-service local or long distance move instead. Either way, you get the number in writing.
Can you unload a truck I drove in from out of state?
Yes. Tell us the day you expect to roll in and the truck size, and we book a crew for that afternoon or the next morning. Most unloads into an Odessa or Midland house take our movers two to three hours.
Every Move Includes
- A written quote before the truck rolls
- Pads, shrink wrap and straps on every load
- Claims handled by our own office
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.”
