The San Antonio & Hill Country → Lufkin corridor
The 290-mile haul from San Antonio to Lufkin is one RiverHills runs start to finish on its own truck and its own crew — no interlining, no broker handoff, no transferring your household onto a stranger's trailer at some terminal along the way. We roll east out of San Antonio on Interstate 10, trading the limestone hills and live-oak savanna of the Hill Country for flat coastal prairie, and pass through Seguin, Luling, Flatonia, Schulenburg, Columbus, and Sealy before the Katy prairie opens up on the western edge of greater Houston. Because Boerne and Kerrville sit on the very same I-10 ribbon just northwest of the city, a Hill Country move simply extends the same drive east — "Kerrville to Lufkin" and "Boerne to Lufkin" ride this identical corridor, and Fredericksburg households feed onto it the same way.
Rather than fight downtown Houston, our drivers swing north on the Grand Parkway (TX-99) to pick up US-59 North — signed I-69 — toward the Piney Woods, climbing gently through Humble, Cleveland, Shepherd, Livingston, Corrigan, and Diboll as the landscape shifts to towering loblolly pines and red-clay hills. That final stretch of US-59 runs four-lane and divided straight into Angelina County, putting the whole trip at roughly five hours of steady driving. We time departure around the Houston-metro rush and the East Texas weather so your belongings arrive on schedule, and we keep you in the loop the entire way — one crew, one truck, one point of contact from load-out to unload.
Your household on one truck, San Antonio to Lufkin.
Padded, blanket-wrapped, and carried by the same crew from load to delivery — no interlining, no strangers on your shipment.
About Lufkin, TX
Lufkin is the seat of Angelina County and the unofficial capital of the deep East Texas Piney Woods — a city of roughly 35,000 ringed by national forest, spring-fed lakes, and some of the best bass fishing in the state a short drive east at Sam Rayburn Reservoir. Households landing here settle into neighborhoods with genuinely distinct character. Crown Colony is the premier address, a gated golf community wrapped around the Crown Colony Country Club course; our crews arrange guard-gate access ahead of arrival and take extra care on its narrow, winding fairway-side streets and long custom-home driveways. Just north of downtown, the Charnwood Historic District is lined with brick-paved streets and early-1900s homes that often have tight drives and no garage — situations we plan for with careful truck placement and, when needed, a smaller shuttle vehicle rather than forcing a 26-footer down a narrow historic lane.
Families chasing schools and elbow room gravitate toward Hudson on the west side, where the well-regarded Hudson ISD anchors newer master-planned subdivisions with wider streets and easier truck access, and toward Redland to the north, where wooded acreage lots and long gravel drives are the norm — we'll ask for a pin drop and gate details so the crew can stage without chewing up your approach. Established areas like Fuller Springs carry a dense tree canopy and tighter mid-century lots, while Herty holds tight to its sawmill-town roots on the south side. The local economy still runs on the Lufkin name itself: Lufkin Industries — now part of Baker Hughes — has built oilfield pumping units here for more than a century, alongside CHI St. Luke's Health Memorial, employee-owned grocery giant Brookshire Brothers (headquartered in town), Angelina College, the timber and forest-products mills, and the Lufkin and Hudson school districts.
Compared with San Antonio, Lufkin trades big-city scale for space and quiet. You'll give up the endless restaurant rows, the international airport, and the pro sports, but in return most families find they can afford noticeably more house — often on a pine-shaded lot measured in acres rather than feet — for what a compact subdivision home runs back in Bexar County. The pace is slower, the commute is short, and the forest starts at your back fence. It's a real lifestyle shift, and it's exactly why so many San Antonio and Hill Country movers make the jump.

How a San Antonio-area to Lufkin 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 Lufkin move
Deep East Texas is humid subtropical and noticeably wetter than the Hill Country — the Piney Woods pull down around 48-50 inches of rain a year versus roughly 32 in San Antonio, so expect heavy spring and fall downpours and the occasional soaking when a Gulf tropical system pushes inland. Summers run hot and thick with humidity from June through September, while winters are mild but can throw a rare ice storm that shuts the roads for a day or two. The sweet spots for a Lufkin move are spring (March into May, before the deep heat) and fall (late September through November), when temperatures are comfortable and the highways are clear. Our trucks are clean and fully padded, and everything is blanket-wrapped and shrink-wrapped to guard against humidity and any surprise rain at load-out or delivery — we watch the forecast on both ends of the corridor and time the drive around it.

Super friendly and reliable service members. They worked fast and diligently to get me moved from Kerrville all the way to Dallas! I would definitely recommend this company if you’re planning on moving.

Do you run the San Antonio to Lufkin move with your own crew, or hand it off to another company? expand_more
Your move stays with RiverHills the entire 290 miles. The same crew that loads your home in San Antonio or the Hill Country drives it up US-59 and unloads it in Lufkin — no interlining, no broker handoff, and no transferring your belongings onto a stranger's truck at a terminal. One team, one truck, start to finish.
I'm moving from Boerne or Kerrville, not San Antonio proper — do you cover that? expand_more
Absolutely. Boerne, Kerrville, and Fredericksburg sit on the same I-10 corridor just northwest of San Antonio, so a Hill Country move to Lufkin simply extends the same route east. We're owner-operated out of the Boerne and Kerrville area and serve the whole region — 'Kerrville to Lufkin' and 'Boerne to Lufkin' are everyday routes for us.
How long does the move take, and can it be done in one day? expand_more
The drive is roughly five hours of steady highway, so a straightforward one- to three-bedroom move is often a single-day load, haul, and unload. Larger homes, gated-community access at places like Crown Colony, or historic-district staging can push delivery to the next morning — we'll give you a realistic timeline up front based on your home and your Lufkin neighborhood.
Which way do you drive, and does the route go through Houston? expand_more
We take I-10 East out of San Antonio, then swing north on the Grand Parkway (TX-99) to pick up US-59 North (I-69) toward the Piney Woods. That keeps us clear of downtown Houston traffic and runs a smoother path up through Livingston, Corrigan, and Diboll into Lufkin.
