The San Antonio & Hill Country → Minneapolis corridor
The San Antonio-to-Minneapolis move has an unusually clean spine: it rides Interstate 35 North almost the entire way, the same freeway that begins down at the Mexican border and ends up in Minnesota. RiverHills stages loads from across its Hill Country home base and funnels them onto that one road — a San Antonio pickup merges onto I-35 from the north side near the 410 or 1604 interchange; Boerne, Fair Oaks Ranch, Comfort, and Kerrville households roll in on I-10 from the Guadalupe River hills; and Fredericksburg moves cut across US-290 toward Austin to meet the same corridor. That is why a search for "Kerrville to Minneapolis" or "Boerne to Minneapolis" lands right here — it is all one haul. Climbing off the Balcones Escarpment, the truck leaves the limestone hills behind and rolls onto the Blackland Prairie, running north through New Braunfels, San Marcos, Austin, Round Rock, and Georgetown, then past Temple and Waco to Hillsboro, where I-35 briefly splits into 35W through Fort Worth and 35E through Dallas before knitting back together at Denton. From there it crosses the Red River at Gainesville into Oklahoma.
Through Oklahoma the corridor stays true to I-35 — past Ardmore, Pauls Valley, Norman, and Moore into Oklahoma City, then up through Guthrie and across the Kansas line. This is where the Minneapolis run diverges from RiverHills' other long hauls: instead of bending east, the truck simply keeps climbing I-35 North across the Great Plains, through Wichita on the Arkansas River, over the tallgrass Flint Hills, and into the Kansas City metro on the Kansas-Missouri border. The road then presses on through Iowa — Des Moines and Ames — before crossing into southern Minnesota near Albert Lea and running up through Owatonna and Faribault into the Twin Cities, where I-35 forks a final time into I-35W for Minneapolis. It is roughly 1,180 miles and about eighteen hours of driving, which RiverHills runs as a direct two-day transit on its own trucks. Owner-operator Jackson Williams keeps every piece blanket-wrapped and pad-secured from the moment it leaves the Hill Country until it comes off the truck in Minneapolis — no terminal transfers, and never handed to a broker.
Your household on one truck, San Antonio to Minneapolis.

About Minneapolis, MN
Minneapolis is the larger half of the Twin Cities, sitting on both banks of the Mississippi River just west of St. Paul, the state capital. The city grew up around St. Anthony Falls — the only major waterfall on the Mississippi — which once powered the flour mills that gave the riverfront its "Mill City" identity and left behind the restored warehouses of the Mill District and the North Loop, now among the most sought-after places to live. Radiating out from downtown and its famous 9.5-mile enclosed Skyway system are distinct neighborhoods: the breweries and galleries of Northeast (locals say "Nordeast"), the shops and nightlife of Uptown, the leafy lakeside streets of Linden Hills, Lowry Hill, and Kenwood along the Chain of Lakes, and the college energy of Dinkytown and Marcy-Holmes next to the University of Minnesota. Loring Park, Whittier's "Eat Street," Longfellow near Minnehaha Falls, and Powderhorn round out a city defined as much by its water and parks as its buildings.
For its size, Minneapolis carries a remarkable concentration of major employers. Target, U.S. Bancorp, Ameriprise Financial, Xcel Energy, and Thrivent are all headquartered downtown, and the wider metro anchors a who's-who of national companies — UnitedHealth Group and Cargill in Minnetonka, Best Buy in Richfield, General Mills in Golden Valley, 3M and Ecolab on the St. Paul side, and Medtronic in the northern suburbs at the heart of the "Medical Alley" medical-device cluster. Add the University of Minnesota's flagship campus and a deep finance, retail-headquarters, healthcare, and agribusiness base, and the region posts one of the highest Fortune 500 densities in the country. The culture matches the paycheck: the Guthrie Theater and Walker Art Center, First Avenue (Prince's old stage), the Minneapolis Institute of Art, and pro teams for the Vikings, Twins, Timberwolves, and Lynx all sit within the city, alongside a genuinely outdoorsy summer built on the lakes and the Grand Rounds bike loop.
The cost-of-living trade-off from San Antonio is real and worth planning for. Both are affordable by big-metro standards, but Minnesota levies a state income tax where Texas has none — a meaningful difference for higher earners — and Minneapolis housing, property taxes, and winter heating costs all run higher than what the same budget covers in San Antonio. Many newcomers balance that against stronger wages in finance and med-tech, a dense park and transit system, and public services that Minnesotans tend to fund generously.

How a San Antonio-area to Minneapolis 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 Minneapolis move
Minneapolis has one of the most demanding winters of any major U.S. metro, and the season shapes a move more than almost anything else. From December through February, subzero cold, hard-frozen ground, and heavy snow are routine; walkways ice over, daylight is short, and the city declares "snow emergencies" that dictate which side of a street can be parked and plowed. Summers are the flip side of San Antonio's — warm and humid with occasional 90-degree stretches and afternoon thunderstorms, but generally comfortable and green. Spring is a muddy thaw with late snow possible into April, and fall is crisp, dry, and often the prettiest stretch of the year before the first freeze. The most reliable windows to move are late May through early October, with September and early October standing out as mild, dry, and ahead of the snow. One honest caution: RiverHills moves in clean, padded, blanket-wrapped trucks — not climate-controlled or heated trailers — so a deep-winter delivery means planning around the cold, since you may load in 90-degree Texas heat and unload into a Minnesota freeze. Flag anything temperature-sensitive so it can be handled accordingly, and let electronics acclimate indoors before powering them on.

How far is the San Antonio to Minneapolis move, and how long does the drive take? expand_more
It's roughly 1,180 miles and about eighteen hours of driving, run almost entirely on Interstate 35 North — the same freeway from the San Antonio area straight up to the Twin Cities. RiverHills handles it as a direct two-day transit on its own trucks, with the load staying on the same truck the whole way rather than being transferred at a terminal.
Is RiverHills actually licensed to move me across state lines to Minnesota? expand_more
Yes. This is an interstate household-goods move, and RiverHills holds genuine federal authority to run it — USDOT 3561425 and MC-1196218 — along with Texas carrier registration TxDMV 009770506C. The corridor crosses six states (Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, and Minnesota), and RiverHills is your carrier for the entire job, not a broker handing your shipment to someone else.
What shapes the custom quote for a move this far? expand_more
Every move is quoted individually rather than by a flat rate. The estimate is built around the volume and weight of your belongings, access at both ends — think stairs, long carries, a downtown or North Loop high-rise, or a service-elevator requirement — whether you want full or partial packing, any specialty items like pianos, gun safes, or large glass, and the season, since winter access in Minneapolis can affect the day. Share those details and RiverHills builds a quote specific to your move.
What if my Minneapolis move-in date doesn't line up, or I'm coming from Boerne or Kerrville rather than San Antonio? expand_more
Both are common. RiverHills offers storage-in-transit for gaps between your move-out and move-in — your belongings are held clean, padded, and blanket-wrapped, then delivered when you're ready. And because Boerne, Kerrville, Comfort, Fredericksburg, and Fair Oaks Ranch all feed onto the same I-35 corridor, a Hill Country origin is handled exactly like a San Antonio one; the crew simply loads where you are and joins the northbound route.
