The San Antonio & Hill Country → Tallahassee corridor
A move from San Antonio to Tallahassee is one of the rare long hauls that runs almost entirely on a single interstate — roughly 820 miles of I-10 East, nose to tail. Because RiverHills is based in Boerne and Kerrville, Hill Country loads have a real head start here: Kerrville and Boerne both sit directly on I-10, so a household leaving Kerrville rolls east through Comfort, Boerne, and Fair Oaks Ranch on the very highway that carries it all the way to the Florida Panhandle, while a Fredericksburg shipment drops down US-87 to meet I-10 near Comfort. Practically speaking, a Kerrville or Boerne truck gets on I-10 in the driveway and doesn't leave it until the Tallahassee exits — one interstate, origin to destination. From San Antonio the highway runs east past Seguin and Luling, straight through Houston and Beaumont, then crosses the Sabine River into Louisiana.
Across Louisiana the route holds I-10 over the long Atchafalaya Basin Bridge past Lafayette and up to Baton Rouge, where our crews often slide onto I-12 across the north shore to skip New Orleans traffic before rejoining I-10 near Slidell. From there it's the Mississippi Gulf Coast at Gulfport and Biloxi, across Mobile Bay and through Alabama's George Wallace Tunnel, and into Florida at Pensacola. The final stretch runs east across the Panhandle — past the Emerald Coast beach exits, through Crestview, DeFuniak Springs, and Marianna — before I-10 rolls into Tallahassee's Red Hills at the US-90 and US-27 junction. It's about twelve hours of actual driving, which RiverHills runs as a planned two-day haul with an overnight around the Mississippi or Alabama coast. We move it with our own crew and truck the entire way — no interlining, no handing your shipment to a partner carrier at a terminal — so the same team that blanket-wraps your furniture in the Hill Country is the one that carries it off the truck in Tallahassee.
Your household on one truck, San Antonio to Tallahassee.
Padded, blanket-wrapped, and carried by the same crew from load to delivery — no interlining, no strangers on your shipment.
About Tallahassee, FL
Tallahassee is Florida's capital and the seat of Leon County, tucked into the rolling Red Hills of the Big Bend where the Panhandle meets the Georgia line — a landscape that surprises Texans expecting flat, sandy Florida. Instead you get shaded hills and the city's famous canopy roads: Old St. Augustine, Miccosukee, Centerville, and Meridian, where centuries-old live oaks arch overhead and drip Spanish moss. The city's character is split between government and academia. Downtown holds the Capitol, Cascades Park, and Kleman Plaza; Midtown is the walkable restaurant-and-bar district just north; Myers Park and Los Robles are the historic tree-lined enclaves near the center; and the All Saints and Railroad Square arts districts anchor a creative scene beside the FSU campus.
The economy runs on three engines that give it unusual stability. State government — the Legislature, the courts, and dozens of agencies, plus the lobbying and policy firms around them — is the dominant employer, echoing the steady public-sector backbone San Antonio knows from its own bases and government offices. Florida State University and Florida A&M University add tens of thousands of students, faculty, and researchers, including FSU's National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, the largest and most powerful magnet lab in the world. Healthcare is the third pillar, led by Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare and HCA's Capital Regional Medical Center, with employers like Danfoss Turbocor rounding out a small but resilient private sector.
For a family coming from San Antonio, the trade is big-city sprawl for a greener, smaller-scale capital of roughly 390,000 across the metro. Like Texas, Florida levies no state income tax, so that part of the math stays familiar; housing runs broadly comparable to San Antonio, though Florida homeowners insurance costs more — that said, inland Tallahassee sits about 25 miles from the Gulf and carries far less storm-surge exposure than the peninsula's coastal cities. Life here leans outdoors and unhurried: Seminole football at Doak Campbell Stadium, bass fishing on Lake Jackson and Lake Talquin, the crystal-clear water at Wakulla Springs, and the vast Apalachicola National Forest all sit within easy reach.

How a San Antonio-area to Tallahassee 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 Tallahassee move
Tallahassee has a humid subtropical climate that runs hotter and stormier in summer than most newcomers expect. From June through September, highs sit in the upper 80s and low 90s with heavy humidity and near-daily afternoon thunderstorms — the Big Bend is one of the most lightning-prone corners of the country. Hurricane season officially runs June 1 to November 30 and peaks from August into October; because Tallahassee is inland, storm surge isn't the concern it is on the coast, but hurricanes and tropical systems still bring high wind and rain (Hermine came ashore near here in 2016), so a late-summer move should carry some date flexibility. Winters are mild but genuinely cool for Florida — highs in the 60s, nights in the 40s, and the occasional hard freeze, since the city sits far enough north and inland to get cold snaps the peninsula never sees. The best windows to move are spring, roughly March into May, when the azaleas and dogwoods bloom and the air turns dry, and fall, October and November, once the storm peak has passed. Our trucks are clean, padded, and blanket-wrapped rather than climate-controlled, so timing the move to those milder months does more for your belongings than any single truck feature.

How far is the San Antonio to Tallahassee move, and how long does the drive take? expand_more
It's about 820 miles and, unusually, almost the entire route is a single highway — I-10 East from San Antonio straight to Tallahassee. That works out to roughly twelve hours of actual driving, which we run as a planned two-day haul with an overnight around the Mississippi or Alabama Gulf Coast. Every customer gets a realistic delivery window rather than a vague 'sometime next week.'
Is RiverHills licensed to move households across state lines to Florida? expand_more
Yes. RiverHills holds full interstate household-goods authority — USDOT 3561425 and MC-1196218 — along with Texas intrastate authority TxDMV 009770506C. We're a real carrier, not a broker: the same crew and truck that load you in San Antonio, Boerne, or Kerrville carry your shipment the whole way and unload it in Tallahassee, with no interlining and no handoff to a partner company.
What shapes the estimate for a Hill Country or San Antonio to Tallahassee move? expand_more
Every long-distance move is custom-quoted. The biggest factors are the weight and volume of your shipment and the access at both ends — stairs, long carries, elevators, and, in Tallahassee, whether your street is one of the tree-canopied lanes where a full-height van needs a shuttle for the final approach. Specialty items like pianos, gun safes, or large exercise equipment also factor in. Give us the details and we'll build an honest quote around them.
Can you store my belongings if my Tallahassee move-in date doesn't line up? expand_more
Yes. If your Florida closing or lease start falls after your Texas move-out, we offer storage-in-transit — your inventoried, blanket-wrapped shipment stays secured in our warehouse and is delivered when your new place is ready, so you're not forced to rush a closing or pay for a hotel while your household sits on a truck.
