The San Antonio & Hill Country → Ann Arbor corridor
The San Antonio to Ann Arbor haul runs roughly 1,300 miles, and RiverHills drives every mile of it on our own truck with our own crew — no interlining, no broker handoff, no trailer swapped between strangers at a yard in the middle of Missouri. We roll north out of San Antonio on I-35, up through Austin, Waco and the Metroplex, then pick up the I-44 corridor across Oklahoma — Oklahoma City and Tulsa — before climbing through the Ozark hills of southern Missouri past Joplin and Springfield toward St. Louis. It's a long, steady interstate run: flat and fast through Oklahoma, rolling and wooded through the Ozarks, with the Mississippi River crossing at St. Louis marking the rough halfway point.
From St. Louis we push east on I-70 to Indianapolis, where we join I-69 and follow it north through Indiana — Fort Wayne — and across the Michigan line past Lansing and Flint. The final leg drops south on US-23 through Brighton and into Washtenaw County, delivering straight into Ann Arbor and its surrounding townships. Because it's the same crew loading in Texas and unloading in Michigan, the same corridor serves the whole Hill Country too: a Boerne to Ann Arbor move or a Kerrville to Ann Arbor move rides the exact same I-44/I-69/US-23 line, just with a pickup a short hop northwest of San Antonio. Most loads deliver within a few days of pickup, and we hand you a firm delivery window before the truck ever leaves your driveway.
Your household on one truck, San Antonio to Ann Arbor.
Padded, blanket-wrapped, and carried by the same crew from load to delivery — no interlining, no strangers on your shipment.
About Ann Arbor, MI
Ann Arbor is a University of Michigan town first and foremost — the university and Michigan Medicine together anchor the region's economy and employ tens of thousands, from researchers and clinicians to facilities crews. But the job base runs deeper than campus: Google keeps a downtown office near Kerrytown, Cisco's Duo Security and chip-metrology giant KLA draw a serious tech workforce, Domino's is headquartered off US-23 north of town, and the townships just east hold Toyota's North American research operation and Hyundai's technical center. Add Thomson Reuters, NSF International, and homegrown institutions like Zingerman's, and you get a small city that punches far above its size. Life here is unmistakably a college town — Big Ten Saturdays at Michigan Stadium (the Big House), the enormous summer Art Fair that takes over Main and State, the Kerrytown farmers market, and the Huron River winding through Gallup Park and Nichols Arboretum.
The neighborhoods each move differently, and we plan for that. The Old West Side is a National Register historic district — narrow, tree-canopied streets lined with tightly packed homes from the 1890s through the 1920s, most with no driveway and on-street parking only, so we'll often run a smaller shuttle off the big truck and pull a city parking permit ahead of your date. Kerrytown and the Old Fourth Ward sit downtown-adjacent with tight loading windows and limited curb space near the market. Burns Park hugs campus with narrow residential streets you do not want to be threading a 26-footer through on a home football Saturday. Up above the river, Barton Hills Village is a private hillside community of steep, winding lanes that call for careful truck placement, while Ann Arbor Hills on the east side offers bigger lots and mature tree cover that we work around branch by branch.
Be honest with yourself about space and cost: Ann Arbor is one of Michigan's priciest housing markets, with limited supply, older stock, smaller lots, and higher property taxes than most of Texas. Families leaving Stone Oak, Alamo Heights, or the Hill Country often trade square footage and a three-car garage for walkability, top-rated schools, and four real seasons. One practical wrinkle: most Ann Arbor homes have full basements — a rarity in San Antonio's slab-on-grade builds — which changes how you plan the unload, so we'll ask up front what's going down the stairs and what stays on the main floor.

How a San Antonio-area to Ann Arbor move is quoted + timed
Every move is estimated for the specific shipment — no published rate card. These are the details RiverHills reviews before discussing price and schedule.
Weather & timing for your Ann Arbor move
Ann Arbor has a true humid-continental climate — a world away from San Antonio. Winters are cold and snowy, with January and February lows regularly below freezing and annual snowfall in the 40-to-55-inch range; ice and lake-influenced snow can slick up US-23 and I-69 for the final stretch of the drive. Summers are warm and humid but far milder than a Texas July, and autumn here is genuinely spectacular. The easiest months to move are late spring through early fall — roughly May through September — when the roads are clear and daylight is long. October brings beautiful foliage but the weather is already turning, and a November-through-March move is very doable as long as we build in buffer days for winter conditions across Indiana and Michigan. Our trucks are clean, padded, and everything is blanket-wrapped and pad-protected for the haul; we don't run climate-controlled trailers, so we'll coordinate timing and packing for any temperature-sensitive items rather than overpromise on the equipment.

I used Riverhills Moving twice for my long distance move to Arkansas. Jackson and his team are top-notch, friendly, polite, and really know how to pack the truck.

Learn more arrow_forwardFrequently asked: San Antonio to Ann Arbor
How long does a move from San Antonio to Ann Arbor take? expand_more
It's about 1,300 miles up the I-44/I-69/US-23 corridor, roughly 19 to 20 hours of drive time. Because RiverHills runs your load on a dedicated truck with our own crew, most San Antonio to Ann Arbor moves deliver within a few days of pickup, and we give you a firm delivery window before we load.
Do you serve the Hill Country too, or only San Antonio proper? expand_more
Both. Boerne, Kerrville, and Fredericksburg households ride the exact same corridor to Ann Arbor — we're owner-operated out of the Hill Country with Boerne and Kerrville branches, so a Boerne to Ann Arbor or Kerrville to Ann Arbor move is simply a pickup a short hop northwest of San Antonio on the same truck heading north.
Will the same crew that loads my home in Texas unload it in Ann Arbor? expand_more
Yes. We don't interline your shipment or hand it off to a broker or a partner carrier. The same RiverHills crew and truck that pack and load in San Antonio drive the route and unload in Ann Arbor — one team, start to finish, which is how we treat every move like it's our own.
Can you handle Ann Arbor's narrow historic streets and downtown neighborhoods? expand_more
Absolutely, and we plan for it up front. For tight areas like the Old West Side, Kerrytown, the Old Fourth Ward, or the steep lanes of Barton Hills Village, we'll arrange a parking permit with the city and, where the streets are too narrow for the full truck, shuttle your belongings in with a smaller vehicle so nothing gets rushed or wedged.
