Harper Moves, the Ranch Country West of Kerrville on US-290
Harper lies west of Kerrville out US-290, a small ranching town set in open Kerr and Gillespie county range, where a working ranch family or a second-home owner is the usual call. I’m Wade Browning, and Rhonda and I have run Browning Storage since 2008 with company rigs and a crew we keep employed straight through the year. However your place is built and however far the trip, you sign one written quote, settled on paper before anyone reaches for a carton.
The trip out and finding solid ground
Harper is a good run west on US-290, so the drive out is part of the day, and we set the loading hour to make the most of the light. Most homes here hand us acreage, long gravel approaches, and the odd barn or workshop joining the haul. Our first thought is where the box truck can rest without digging into a soft edge after a rain or scarring the ground, so one of us looks it over at the estimate and decides whether the rig rolls all the way back or a shuttle handles the last leg. Any longer carry gets counted on the walkthrough so it’s there from the first, never sprung after.
The heat, the open range, and a careful haul
These rural properties carry their own quirks, from tack rooms and tools to the upright piano in the main house, and we cushion it all the same way, draping pads on each piece, guarding every door frame, and laying runners from the room straight to the tailgate. Out on this open Kerr County range the thermometer holds triple digits with no shade to speak of, so we get an early jump, keep water handy, and button up the load ahead of the worst afternoon heat.
A rate in writing, with cooled storage when the dates slip
Should your closings fall out of step, your things wait in our cooled units away from the heat, around $95 to $240 a month by size, the first month often half off, the cost noted at the outset. The minute the walkthrough ends the number is set, with no diesel line and no long-haul fee dreamed up afterward. The federal IDs sit beside our state household-goods license, TxDMV, the $0.60-per-pound figure and 9-month claim window are printed on the contract, the same crew works both ends, and any damage our own truck does is ours. Phone (888) 711-4778 for a Harper estimate.
