Texas to LA without the middlemen
The Austin-LA route runs both directions constantly: creatives and tech folks heading west, Californians who tried Texas heading home, and families splitting the difference. It's also a route crawling with moving brokers, companies that quote low online, then sell your job to whichever carrier bites. That's how moves end up weeks late, transferred between trucks, or held up over surprise charges.
We're the opposite of that model. SpaceMan Moving is a family-owned carrier: our truck, our crew, our reputation. We've been doing this since 2010, and the owners are reachable for the entire move.
How an Austin → LA move runs
- I-10 west, roughly 20 hours of driving. Typical delivery 3-4 days after pickup, with the window fixed before loading.
- One flat quote, everything included. Crew, truck, fuel, miles, padding and wrap on every piece of furniture. No "binding-estimate-that-wasn't" games.
- LA logistics, planned ahead. Parking is the boss in Los Angeles. Whether it's a Silver Lake hillside street, a Santa Monica apartment with a strict dock window, or an HOA in Culver City, we sort access and any permits-or-parking questions before we leave Austin.
- Careful with the stuff that matters. Long-haul miles are exactly why everything gets wrapped and strapped like the inside of our truck photos, desert highway is no place for loose furniture.
Timing your move west
Summer and month-end dates book first. If your LA lease or start date is fixed, lock your moving window two-plus weeks out when possible. Moving a smaller load? Ask us about scheduling, pairing the calendar right can make a one-bedroom move west surprisingly reasonable.

Questions about this move
How much does it cost to move from Austin to Los Angeles?
Every quote is custom, flat, and all-inclusive, based on your inventory and the access at both ends. Beware quotes for this route that look too good online; that's usually a broker's teaser price, not what you'll pay on delivery day. Call us and we'll give you one honest number.
How long does an Austin to LA move take?
Pickup in Austin, then typically 3-4 days to delivery in Los Angeles with a firm window agreed up front. Your move is dedicated, we're not waiting to fill a 53-foot trailer with three other households first.
Can you handle apartment buildings and tricky parking in LA?
Yes. We plan the destination logistics before we leave Texas, elevator and dock reservations, certificates of insurance for your building, and a realistic parking plan for tight streets. Surprises on unload day are avoidable if someone bothers to plan; we bother.
