The San Antonio & Hill Country → Plano corridor
The San Antonio-to-Plano run is a straight shot up the spine of Texas on Interstate 35, roughly 285 miles from the Alamo City to the northern edge of the Dallas metroplex. Loads originating in San Antonio pick up I-35 North right through downtown, while the Hill Country moves RiverHills handles daily funnel in from the west first: crews out of Kerrville and Comfort roll east on I-10, gather up Boerne and Fair Oaks Ranch, and merge onto I-35 in San Antonio, while a Fredericksburg pickup can cut across US-290 to Austin and join the interstate there. From that point everyone is on the same road. The corridor threads New Braunfels and San Marcos, climbs through Austin's Round Rock and Georgetown suburbs, then rolls past Salado, Belton, Temple, and Waco before reaching Hillsboro, where I-35 forks. You bear right onto I-35E toward Dallas, drop down through Waxahachie into the metroplex, and finish the last leg north to Plano on US-75 (Central Expressway) or the Dallas North Tollway.
Geographically the drive is a study in Texas transitions: you leave the limestone ridges and cedar-covered slopes of the Balcones Escarpment behind and settle onto the flat, dark-soil Blackland Prairie that carries you the rest of the way north. It is a heavily trafficked freight route, and the two chokepoints are predictable — the I-35 crawl through central Austin and the interchange congestion around Dallas — so honest door-to-door timing runs about five to six hours with a loaded truck once stops are factored in. RiverHills books this as a dedicated, direct haul: one Jackson Williams-led crew loads in the Hill Country or San Antonio, drives the whole corridor, and unloads in Plano, with every piece pad-wrapped and blanket-protected for the ride. Because Kerrville, Boerne, Comfort, and San Antonio all feed the same interstate, a search for "Kerrville to Plano" or "Boerne to Plano" lands on this exact route — it is one lane of travel with several on-ramps.

About Plano, TX
Plano sits in Collin County at the northern edge of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, a city of roughly 285,000 that has quietly become one of the biggest corporate addresses in the country. The Legacy West and Legacy Business Park districts along the Dallas North Tollway anchor an extraordinary concentration of headquarters: Toyota Motor North America relocated its entire North American base here from California, JPMorgan Chase runs a sprawling regional campus, and Frito-Lay and FedEx Office both keep their corporate homes in the city. Add Liberty Mutual, NTT Data, Tyler Technologies, and Ericsson to the mix and you understand why the old "Telecom Corridor" nickname has evolved into a full-blown finance, tech, and consumer-brands hub. This is a very different economic engine than San Antonio's military, healthcare, and tourism base.
For all that corporate muscle, Plano still reads as a livable suburb. Historic Downtown Plano is a walkable arts district built around 15th Street and the old interurban rail line, and the DART Red Line light rail links the Downtown Plano and Parker Road stations straight into Dallas. West Plano centers on the upscale Shops at Legacy and the Shops at Willow Bend mall, while master-planned neighborhoods spread out around top-ranked Plano ISD schools. Green space is a genuine selling point — Arbor Hills Nature Preserve, the large Oak Point Park and Nature Preserve, and Bob Woodruff Park give a city this dense a surprising amount of trail and prairie.
On cost of living, newcomers from San Antonio should set expectations honestly. Both cities enjoy Texas's no-state-income-tax advantage, but Plano's housing market runs markedly higher than San Antonio's, and Collin County property taxes are a real line item. The trade-off most relocating families weigh is a pricier home and a higher tax bill against notably stronger corporate salaries and one of the most respected public school systems in the state.

How a San Antonio-area to Plano 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 Plano move
Plano's North Texas climate is more extreme on both ends than San Antonio's. Summers are hot, with July and August highs regularly in the upper 90s and often topping 100 degrees, so mid-summer loads mean protecting heat-sensitive items like electronics, candles, and vinyl. The bigger difference from the Hill Country is winter: North Texas gets real cold snaps and periodic ice and sleet from December through February, and freezing rain can shut down a move day entirely. Spring, roughly March through May, is severe-weather season across the Dallas area, bringing thunderstorms, damaging hail, and the occasional tornado watch. The most reliable windows to move into Plano are October and November, when the weather turns mild and dry with low storm risk, along with a mid-spring window in April if you keep an eye on the hail forecast.

How far is San Antonio to Plano, and how long does the move take? expand_more
It is about 285 miles up I-35 North, then I-35E toward Dallas and north into Plano on US-75 or the Dallas North Tollway. Honest door-to-door drive time with a loaded truck is roughly five to six hours, depending on I-35 congestion through Austin and traffic in the Dallas metroplex. Hill Country pickups in Boerne, Comfort, or Kerrville add the short I-10 leg into San Antonio before joining I-35.
Is RiverHills properly licensed for a San Antonio to Plano move? expand_more
Yes. A San Antonio-to-Plano move stays entirely inside Texas, so it is an intrastate move regulated by the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles under RiverHills' TxDMV number 009770506C. RiverHills is also a genuine federally authorized interstate household-goods carrier, holding USDOT 3561425 and MC-1196218, so the same company handles your Texas move and any future out-of-state move directly, with no brokering.
What shapes the custom estimate for this route? expand_more
Every RiverHills move is quoted individually. The main factors are the volume and weight of your household, access at both ends (stairs, elevators, gated or HOA communities, and long carries common in Legacy West), any packing services you want, specialty items like pianos or gun safes, and your preferred move date. RiverHills builds the quote around your specific home rather than a flat rate.
Can RiverHills store my belongings if my Plano home is not ready? expand_more
Yes. If your closing or lease start does not line up with your move-out date, RiverHills offers storage-in-transit, keeping your goods clean, padded, and blanket-wrapped in secure storage until your Plano place is ready, then completing delivery on a scheduled day.
