How long-distance works from Houston
Long-distance from 1st Choice Moving & Storage means one thing: the crew that loads at your Houston curb is the same crew that unloads at the other end. No broker, no truck swap at a Memphis terminal, no “your shipment is on another driver.” Devin Caldwell runs the long-haul desk out of Sugar Land TX with his Eastside crew.
Flat figure starts at $2,795 for the shorter I-10 and US-59 runs: Austin, Dallas, San Antonio, New Orleans. We sign the figure before we touch a box, and the same crew is at the unload.

How a long-distance move runs
- Walk-through. Bryan drives out for anything 3BR+; smaller jobs quote on a six-minute phone call with Amanda.
- Signed flat. Includes labor, truck, fuel, mileage, sealed-pad wrap, and the same crew at both ends.
- Load day. Devin’s crew rolls at 6am from Spring Branch. Books go in climate vault, electronics in foam-cradle.
- Transit. No swap. Same driver, same truck, same blanket inventory list.
- Unload. Furniture reassembled, boxes placed by room label, photos sent to Sarah on dispatch.
Storage as a long-distance bridge
“Our Dallas closing slipped by ten days. Kyle held the truck at the Long Point warehouse, no extra freight charge, and re-rolled when the buyer signed. That’s rare in long-haul.”, Houston → Dallas client, 2025
Long-distance moves often run into closing-date slippage at the destination. Because we own the 30,000 sqft warehouse off I-610, we can hold a fully-loaded shipment in our racks until the keys change hands, daily storage at the same warehouse rate, no re-load fee.
