Houston long-distance work out of our Long Point Rd yard runs five corridors: I-10 east to New Orleans, Mobile, Atlanta; I-45 north to Dallas and on to Oklahoma City; I-10 west to San Antonio, El Paso, and the Albuquerque high desert; US-290 to Austin and the Hill Country; and I-69 north through Lufkin to Memphis and Nashville. 1st Choice Moving & Storage runs every lane with the same Devin-led crew that loaded at your Houston curb.

How LD pricing works
Long-distance starts at $2,795 for a small one-bedroom load. From there, the figure is built on weight plus miles plus crew hours, written into a binding quote before the truck leaves the Spring Branch yard. Deposit is $215 and credits to the final invoice on unload.
Why same-crew matters on a Texas haul
The crew that wrapped your dining table in River Oaks is the crew that walks it through your new front door in Atlanta. No 3am freight-dock transfer in Jackson, no broker hand-off, no “sorry, that was the other carrier” conversation when a leg gets lost on I-20.
Storage on the back end
If your new place isn’t ready, your load can sit at our in-house Spring Branch storage for $185/month, climate-controlled, no third-party transfer. Devin re-crews it onto a truck the day you call for delivery. See short-term storage, full-pack runs, and snowbird coordination for LD-prep options.
Not included in the long-distance flat
Destination shuttle (if a 26-ft can’t fit a narrow Decatur street), full-value protection upgrade, and origin packing labor are quoted separately. Kyle Bennett counter-signs every LD line-item before pickup.
