Full-Service Long-Distance Moving Across Texas
Rick's handles every aspect of your long-distance move — from the first box packed to final placement at your destination. Whether you're crossing county lines or crossing the state, distance doesn't mean less care; it means more planning, more protection, and a crew that's done it thousands of times.
Full-Service Packing Options
Professional packing available for all or part of your home or office. All materials included — boxes, wrap, padding, and custom crating for fragile items.
Protected Transport
Every load is secured, padded, and wrapped before going on the truck. Furniture blankets, stretch wrap, and floor protection used on every long-distance job.
GPS-Tracked Moves
Know where your belongings are during transit. Rick's uses GPS-tracked vehicles so you can follow your move in real time and plan your arrival with confidence.
Delivery Coordination Across Texas
We work around your schedule to coordinate delivery windows that work at both ends of the move — whether you're relocating across town lines or across the state.
Why Licensed & Insured Matters on a Long-Distance Move
Unlicensed movers have no accountability once a truck leaves the driveway. With a long-distance move, your belongings are out of sight for hours or days — a licensed carrier is legally required to meet standards for handling, transit safety, and claims.
Rick's Moving & Storage is fully licensed and insured for intrastate Texas moves. That means if something unexpected happens in transit, you're protected — not left disputing a claim with an unregistered hauler.
With 35 years of long-haul experience across Texas, Rick's has the equipment, trained crews, and established routes to move your home or business safely — without surprises on either end.

Rick's team is transparent about pricing, timing, and process — no surprises, no hidden fees, just straightforward answers before your move begins.
How is the cost of a long-distance move calculated?
Long-distance moving costs are based on several factors: the total weight or volume of your shipment, the distance between origin and destination, any additional services requested (packing, crating, storage), and the access conditions at both locations.
