Farmhouse moves and long-haul loads out of Wheelock
Wheelock is a small place with long driveways, and that changes how a move has to be run. There is usually no elevator, no loading dock and no parking lot — just a gravel turnaround, a cattle guard and a gate you have to back the truck through. Aggie Movers Company has been working these Robertson County roads out of the College Station side for years, and we plan a Wheelock job around the property instead of pretending it's a city address.
That means we ask about the drive before we load the truck. How tight is the turn at the county road? Is the ground going to hold a loaded truck after rain? Is there a second structure — a barn, a shop, a storage building — that also needs clearing out? Owner Wailan Watson would rather answer those questions on the phone than find out with a truck sunk to the axle, and so would you.
Most Wheelock moves fall into one of three shapes: a household heading into Bryan or College Station to be closer to work and doctors, a family coming the other way for land and quiet, or a long-haul run to Houston, Dallas, Austin or San Antonio. We handle all three with the same crew and the same truck, so nobody hands your furniture off to a stranger halfway there.
Pianos, pool tables and the things other movers leave behind
Every item below is something we do regularly, not a line on a menu. If what you've got isn't here, ask — it's usually a yes.
- Full household moves — we wrap, pad, load, drive and set your furniture down where you point. You get the same crew start to finish, so nothing gets explained twice.
- Piano moving — uprights, spinets and baby grands, moved on proper equipment by people who've done it before. Narrow farmhouse doorways and porch steps are the normal case here, not the exception.
- Pool tables and gun safes — the heavy, awkward pieces that get declined by the hour. We bring the straps, dollies and manpower to get them out without gouging your floors or your door frames.
- Labor-only loading and unloading — you rent the truck or the container, we supply the muscle and the packing know-how so the load rides tight and nothing shifts on the highway.
- Long-distance moves — one crew, one truck, straight to Houston, Dallas, Austin, San Antonio or anywhere in between, with a clear price before we start.
- Barn, shop and storage clear-outs — tools, workbenches, mowers and decades of accumulation moved to a new building or into storage, sorted as we go.
Tell us about the driveway first. Everything else about a Wheelock move is easy once we know how we're getting the truck to the door.
How a Wheelock move actually goes
- You call or send a message and describe the house, the stops and roughly what's going. Photos of anything heavy or unusual help a lot.
- We quote you a clear rate for the crew size and truck the job needs — no surprise fees bolted on at the end.
- We confirm access on both ends: gate widths, driveway surface, stairs, and where the truck can realistically sit.
- On moving day the crew pads and wraps furniture, disassembles what has to come apart, and loads so the heavy pieces carry the weight.
- We unload and place your furniture room by room, reassemble beds and tables, and haul the used blankets and wrap away with us.
If you're moving a household and a working property at once, say so early. A barn or shop usually adds a truckload nobody counted on, and we'd rather build that into the plan than squeeze it in at dusk.
Where Wheelock fits on our map
Wheelock sits between Hearne and Franklin, a short run up from Bryan–College Station, which is where our trucks are based. That makes it comfortably inside our regular territory alongside Hearne, Mumford, Wheelock's neighbors in Robertson County, and the rest of the Brazos Valley — 24 towns in all, plus long-haul runs to the big Texas metros. See all 24 service areas for the full list.
Because we're local, we're not charging you half a day of windshield time to show up. And because we run the long-distance legs ourselves, a Wheelock-to-Houston or Wheelock-to-Dallas move is handled by the same people who loaded your kitchen.
