Moves between San Antonio & the Hill Country and Louisiana
Louisiana sits at the end of one of the most direct hauls RiverHills runs — a straight shot east on Interstate 10. From San Antonio the corridor rolls through Houston and Beaumont, crosses the Sabine River into the Bayou State, and carries households to Lafayette in the heart of Cajun Acadiana, Baton Rouge on the Mississippi at the state capital, and New Orleans at the end of the line across the Atchafalaya Basin and Lake Pontchartrain. Shreveport sits apart in the northwest corner, reached by angling northeast through the East Texas Piney Woods to Interstate 20 and the Shreveport-Bossier City area. Boerne and Kerrville families share this same route — they simply drop down I-10 through San Antonio and keep heading east. Households make the move for petrochemical and oilfield careers, Ochsner and LSU health jobs, LSU and Tulane campuses, Barksdale Air Force Base orders, and roots in Louisiana's food-and-festival culture. Because RiverHills holds its own interstate authority, one crew loads in the Hill Country and unloads in Louisiana — no broker handoff, no load-board auction.

Moving to Louisiana: FAQs
Common questions about moves between San Antonio & the Hill Country and Louisiana. Need more info? Call us at 830-329-7272.
How long does a move from San Antonio to Louisiana take? expand_more
The southern cities run straight down I-10: Lafayette is roughly 6 hours, Baton Rouge about 7, and New Orleans a full day at around 540 miles. Shreveport in the northwest is a shorter but different haul — closer to 6 hours — angling northeast to I-20 rather than following the Gulf corridor. Most Louisiana moves deliver in one to two days, and we confirm your exact window when we quote, never an open-ended estimate.
Which Louisiana cities does RiverHills run dedicated routes to? expand_more
We build dedicated San Antonio routes to Baton Rouge, Lafayette, New Orleans and Shreveport, covering the surrounding parishes — Ascension and Livingston around Baton Rouge, the Acadiana towns near Lafayette, the greater New Orleans metro, and Bossier City beside Shreveport. We also move households to other Louisiana towns on request; call (830) 329-7272 for a custom quote.
Does RiverHills drive my Louisiana move itself or hand it off to a broker? expand_more
We run every Louisiana move on our own crews and trucks under our own interstate authority. The team that loads your home in San Antonio, Boerne or Kerrville is the same team that unloads it in Louisiana — your shipment is never auctioned to a load board or reloaded onto a partner carrier's truck somewhere along I-10. That single chain of custody is a real difference from the San Antonio outfits that hand the long leg to an outside line.
When is the best time of year to move to Louisiana? expand_more
Spring and fall are the most comfortable on both ends, and we move year-round. Louisiana's Gulf Coast shares San Antonio's heat and humidity, so from late spring through summer we load in the cool early morning and blanket-wrap wood and upholstery to keep moisture off it. We also plan around hurricane season, which runs June through November on the coast, and build a realistic buffer into delivery dates.
Can you handle gated communities, HOAs and tight New Orleans access? expand_more
Yes. We line up any gate codes, HOA certificates of insurance and elevator reservations before move day at both ends. New Orleans adds its own challenges — narrow historic streets, one-way blocks and limited parking in neighborhoods like the Garden District and Uptown — so we scout access ahead of time and, where needed, arrange a shuttle or parking permit so the crew isn't stuck at the curb.
