The San Antonio & Hill Country → Shreveport corridor
A move from the San Antonio area to Shreveport is a long northeast diagonal that ends where Texas, Louisiana, and Arkansas meet — the "Ark-La-Tex." Like most RiverHills hauls it builds on Interstate 35 North: a San Antonio pickup climbs onto I-35 near the 410 or 1604 interchange, while Hill Country households feed in from the west — a Boerne or Fair Oaks Ranch load rolls east on I-10 to catch I-35 on the north side of the city, a Kerrville job runs the same I-10 approach through Comfort, and a Fredericksburg move slides over on US-290. They all converge on one northbound spine, which is exactly why a search for "Boerne to Shreveport" or "Kerrville to Shreveport" belongs right here — every one of those origins funnels through the same Central Texas corridor. From New Braunfels and San Marcos the truck climbs through the Austin and Round Rock stretch, then angles hard to the northeast onto US-79, tracing the Post Oak Savannah through Taylor, Hearne, and Buffalo before the soil turns rust-red and the tall loblolly pines of the East Texas Piney Woods close in on the horizon.
The back half of the trip picks up Interstate 20 East and runs it through Longview and Marshall, then crosses the Sabine River at the Louisiana state line and drops into metro Shreveport, where I-20 meets I-49 — the north–south interstate that threads the city and carries on toward Alexandria in one direction and the Arkansas line in the other. It's roughly 390 miles end to end, about six to six and a half hours of steady driving, and RiverHills runs it as one dedicated push: a single crew and truck load your Hill Country or San Antonio home, drive it straight through, and unload it in Shreveport or across the Red River in Bossier City. There is no interlining — no swapping your shipment onto a stranger's trailer at a terminal — and no open-ended "sometime next week" delivery. Because the load never leaves RiverHills' own equipment, the delivery window is set when you book, and every piece rides in clean, padded, blanket-wrapped protection under RiverHills' own interstate authority the entire way.
Your household on one truck, San Antonio to Shreveport.
Padded, blanket-wrapped, and carried by the same crew from load to delivery — no interlining, no strangers on your shipment.
About Shreveport, LA
Shreveport is Louisiana's third-largest city and the anchor of the Ark-La-Tex, set on the west bank of the Red River with its twin, Bossier City, directly across the water in Bossier Parish. It grew up as a cotton and riverport town — named for Henry Miller Shreve, the steamboat captain who cleared the Red River's legendary "Great Raft" logjam — and today the two cities function as one metro straddling the river. Newcomers from San Antonio trade the limestone-hill sprawl of Bexar County for a flatter, greener, more compact place with deep Louisiana character: crawfish boils and Cajun-Creole cooking, riverboat casinos lit up along the downtown waterfront, and the Municipal Auditorium where the Louisiana Hayride once beamed a young Elvis and Hank Williams out to the nation as the "Cradle of the Stars."
The economy leans on a handful of strong pillars. Barksdale Air Force Base in Bossier City — home to Air Force Global Strike Command and the B-52-flying 2nd Bomb Wing — is the region's largest employer and the reason so many moves here are military PCS orders or defense-and-cyber civilian jobs, feeding the National Cyber Research Park and Cyber Innovation Center next door. Healthcare is the other anchor, built around Ochsner LSU Health Shreveport with its academic medical center and medical school, alongside the sprawling Willis-Knighton system. Add the riverfront gaming and entertainment industry, natural-gas activity tied to the Haynesville Shale, the Port of Caddo-Bossier, and colleges like Centenary, LSU Shreveport, and Bossier Parish Community College, and you get a working economy with more range than the metro's size suggests.
The cost-of-living math is the pleasant surprise. Unlike most places San Antonians move to, Shreveport is genuinely cheaper — housing in particular, where the same budget buys a noticeably bigger home, or an older one full of character, in neighborhoods like Highland or South Highlands than it would in San Antonio. The trade-off is the tax profile: Louisiana levies a state income tax that Texas does not, carries some of the highest combined sales-tax rates in the country, and is known for expensive car insurance — though its property taxes, softened by the homestead exemption, run well below Texas's notoriously steep bills. Day to day you get real walkability in the older districts, festivals like Mudbug Madness and the Red River Revel, the R.W. Norton Art Gallery and Sci-Port on the riverfront, and Cross Lake and the cypress bayous of Caddo Lake only minutes from town.

How a San Antonio-area to Shreveport 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 Shreveport move
Shreveport sits in the humid subtropical Ark-La-Tex and is markedly wetter and stickier than San Antonio — around 48 to 50 inches of rain a year against South Texas's low 30s — which is why the region stays so green. Summers are hot and heavy, with July and August highs in the mid-90s and humidity that makes it feel hotter; because RiverHills moves in clean, padded, blanket-wrapped trucks rather than refrigerated or climate-controlled ones, a summer move is best loaded early in the morning, with electronics, candles, and wood or upholstered pieces packed last and unloaded first. Spring is the volatile season: the Ark-La-Tex sits in a tornado- and thunderstorm-prone belt, and the Red River has a real flood history (the 2015 and 2016 river floods were serious), so a March-through-May delivery carries some genuine storm-delay risk. Winters are mild but not immune to trouble — an occasional ice storm or hard freeze like the February 2021 event can briefly snarl I-20, though measurable snow is rare. The best windows are mid-to-late fall — September into November, when the humidity finally breaks, storms taper, and days turn crisp and clear — and early spring before peak severe-weather season, both far easier on the crew and on your belongings during the load and carry.

How far is the San Antonio to Shreveport move, and how does RiverHills run it? expand_more
About 390 miles. The route runs I-35 North out of the San Antonio and Hill Country area, angles northeast on US-79 across East Texas, then picks up I-20 East through Longview and Marshall before crossing the Sabine River into Louisiana and reaching Shreveport at the I-20/I-49 junction — roughly six to six and a half hours of driving. RiverHills runs it as one dedicated push with a single crew and truck, no interlining, and sets your delivery window when you book rather than leaving it open-ended.
Is RiverHills actually licensed to move me across state lines into Louisiana? expand_more
Yes. RiverHills is a genuine interstate household-goods carrier operating under its own USDOT 3561425 and MC-1196218 authority, plus Texas authority TxDMV 009770506C. Your belongings travel with RiverHills' own crew and trucks the entire way — this is a licensed carrier, not a broker handing your move off to a third party.
Can you deliver to Bossier City, Benton, or Barksdale too — and can you start from Boerne or Kerrville? expand_more
Yes on both counts. RiverHills delivers throughout Shreveport-Bossier and the surrounding Ark-La-Tex, including Bossier City, Benton, Haughton, and Barksdale-area addresses, and picks up all across the Hill Country. A 'Boerne to Shreveport' or 'Kerrville to Shreveport' move rides the very same corridor as a San Antonio pickup and belongs right here on this route.
What determines the cost, and can you store my things if my Shreveport place isn't ready? expand_more
Every long-distance move is custom-quoted. The estimate is shaped by the weight and volume of your shipment, access at both ends (stairs, long carries, tight historic streets, or gated-community gates), how much of the packing you want the crew to handle, and any specialty items. RiverHills builds each quote around your specific home and inventory rather than a flat published rate, and storage-in-transit is available if your closing or lease start doesn't line up with your load-out date — your goods stay inventoried and blanket-wrapped until Shreveport is ready.
