Memphis is where our routes start stretching into true long-distance territory. We run it up I-45 and over to I-40, about 565 miles and the better part of a driving day, leaving the Gulf Coast behind for the bluffs of the Mississippi River. We move logistics and distribution professionals, medical workers, and families heading toward the Mid-South for work or to be closer to relatives.
Moving out of state? Greater Houston movers keeps your shipment with one Space City crew from the Houston curb to the new front door, on a flat price set in writing.
North on I-45, east on I-40
From the Houston area we take I-45 north, then connect to I-40 eastbound through Arkansas and across the river into Memphis. At this distance the job runs overnight: our crew loads in the Houston area, drives the haul, and delivers the next day. Your belongings never leave our truck and never change hands, the same crew that wraps them sets them down.
Why this move happens
- Distribution, freight, and logistics jobs anchored to the Memphis hub
- Medical and research staff heading to the city’s hospital systems
- Families relocating closer to Mid-South and Tennessee relatives
- Buyers trading Houston prices for a lower cost of living up north
What changes in the Mid-South
You leave the flat, slab-on-grade Gulf Coast for a region with rolling terrain, older brick homes, and the occasional basement, which we rarely see around Dayton or Atascocita. Winters bring real cold and ice instead of Houston’s mild season, though the summer humidity off the river will feel a little familiar. We scope stairs, basements, and access at both ends before the truck rolls.
How Space City Movers runs the long haul
We load early, pad and shrink-wrap everything, build a full written inventory, and keep our own crew and truck on the job for the entire 565 miles. Space City Movers holds Texas TxDMV registration plus USDOT and MC authority for interstate moves, and carries its own cargo insurance, up to $1,000,000 per shipment. We run the trucks ourselves; we do not hand your move to an outside carrier.
What your flat rate includes
- A single binding price after the inventory, no hourly meter
- Full wrapping, disassembly, and reassembly of furniture
- Loading, the overnight 565-mile haul, and unloading by one crew
- Optional secured storage in transit if your dates do not line up

How this run goes · ~565 mi
Starting in Greater Houston, one crew and one truck carry the whole haul, tracked door to door on a single binding flat rate. The delivery date we promise is the date it lands — your load stays with that one crew start to finish, never handed off, and you pay the figure we wrote down, no other.
