“These folks just moved me from Sherman TX to Edmond OK. What a disaster! Eagle Moving contracted S & DJ Moving. Eagle moving grossly underestimated how much stuff we had.

Who makes this move
Texas does not tax wages.
Census flow. In the Census ACS 2024, 28,074 people moved from Texas to Oklahoma, with a margin of plus or minus 3,746. The reverse count was 18,579 people leaving Oklahoma for Texas. Those two figures are headcounts of people who changed states.
Price level and wages. BEA price parity for 2024 puts Texas at 97.1 and Oklahoma at 87.8, with the United States set at 100. Both readings sit under that national mark. Texas does not tax wages. Oklahoma taxes wages. The Census counts above record how many people moved each way.

Before you book
Haulest is not a carrier.
License and estimate. An interstate household move needs a mover with an active USDOT number and FMCSA household-goods authority. Check both with the license lookup before you sign. Ask for a binding or not-to-exceed estimate, and read how the weight and miles are written in our estimate guide.
Payment and the window. On a non-binding estimate the mover must deliver once you pay 110 percent of the estimate. Read the 110 percent rule before you treat a low quote as the final bill. Get the delivery window in writing on the order for service.
Deposit terms. Ask what the deposit covers and when it is due, and keep that language on the estimate. Our deposit guide is the short version of those questions. Haulest is not a carrier. We do not book the truck or hold the deposit.
