Why an out-of-state move is exactly our kind of job
Leaving Texas is a big move, and who you hire matters more than almost any other decision in it. Whether you're headed to the mountains, the coasts, the Midwest, or the Southeast, the distance is far enough that the wrong mover can turn a stressful week into a lost month, and the right one makes it feel handled.
Here's the difference that matters most: many "long-distance movers" are actually brokers. They sell your move, hand it to a carrier you've never heard of, and your belongings may sit in a warehouse and switch trucks before they ever reach your new state. We don't do any of that. SpaceMan Moving is the carrier. The crew that wraps your furniture in Austin drives it and sets it down in your new home, wherever in the lower 48 that is.
How an out-of-state move works with us
- Direct drive, dedicated to your move. We deliver within a firm window agreed before we load, not a vague "7 to 21 business days" spread. The exact transit time depends on the distance, and we'll tell you the real number up front.
- One flat, all-in quote. Based on your inventory and access at both ends. The number we agree on is the number you pay, covering crew, truck, fuel, mileage, and furniture protection.
- Loaded for the long haul. Everything padded, wrapped, and strapped, the same prep you can see in our truck photos, because cross-country highway miles are earned, not hoped for.
- Destination details handled. A high-rise with a loading dock and a reservation, or a house with a tight driveway and street parking, tell us where it's going and we'll plan the unload before we leave Texas.
What to plan for on an out-of-state move
Book earlier than feels necessary, summer and end-of-month dates fill quickly on long-distance routes. If you're timing a move around a lease start or a job date, lock the window first and pack second. And if you're downsizing from a Texas-sized house to something smaller in your new state, we're happy to help you think through what's worth the miles.

Questions about this move
How much does an out-of-state move from Austin cost?
It depends on how much you're moving, how far it's going, and the access at both addresses, so we quote each move individually, one flat, all-inclusive price covering the crew, truck, fuel, mileage, and furniture protection. Call us with a rough inventory and your destination and we'll give you a real number, not a teaser rate that grows later.
What states do you move to?
Anywhere in the lower 48. We regularly run routes to Colorado, California, the Midwest, and the Southeast, and we'll drive your move to any state in the continental U.S. Tell us where you're headed and we'll plan it.
Will my belongings be transferred to another truck or warehouse?
No, never. The truck we load at your Austin home is the truck that arrives at your destination, handled by the same crew at both ends. No warehouse stopovers, no freight transfers, no strangers in the middle.
