The San Antonio & Hill Country → Sioux Falls corridor
The drive from San Antonio to Sioux Falls covers roughly 1,080 miles, and RiverHills Moving runs the whole thing north on I-35 before handing off to I-29 for the final push into South Dakota. Loading in San Antonio — or out in the Hill Country, since Boerne, Kerrville, and Fredericksburg households all funnel down to the same interstate — our crew rolls up through Austin, Waco, and Hillsboro, splits around the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, and rejoins near Gainesville before crossing the Red River into Oklahoma. From there it's Ardmore, Oklahoma City, and a long straight run past Wichita and through the Flint Hills tallgrass prairie of Kansas into the Kansas City area.
At Kansas City the route swings onto I-29 N and traces the Missouri River valley — St. Joseph, then Council Bluffs and Omaha, then Sioux City — before crossing into South Dakota and arriving in Sioux Falls at about 1,450 feet on the eastern prairie. The terrain is mostly flat-to-rolling, with wide-open, wind-exposed plains across the northern half, so a full day-plus of transit is standard and we plan fuel, rest, and federal drive-time stops accordingly. The part that matters most: it's one RiverHills crew and one RiverHills truck the entire way. No interlining, no broker handoff, no swapping your belongings onto a stranger's trailer at a Kansas City yard — the same team that pads, wraps, and loads your home in San Antonio is the team that carries it up I-29 and unloads it in Sioux Falls.
Your household on one truck, San Antonio to Sioux Falls.
Padded, blanket-wrapped, and carried by the same crew from load to delivery — no interlining, no strangers on your shipment.
About Sioux Falls, SD
Sioux Falls is South Dakota's largest city and its economic engine, built around two hospital systems — Sanford Health, which is headquartered here, and Avera — plus a deep bench of finance and card-services employers that landed after the state scrapped its interest-rate caps: Citi, Wells Fargo, and First Premier all run major operations in town. Add Smithfield's sprawling pork-processing plant, an Amazon fulfillment center on the edge of the city, and a downtown that keeps adding rooftops and restaurants, and you get a job market that pulls Texas families up the corridor year-round.
Where you land shapes the move. The McKennan Park Historic District is the city's prestige address — early-1900s homes on narrow, elm-shaded streets where low mature branches and tight on-street parking mean we often spot the truck a few doors down and shuttle in. The Cathedral Historic District and All Saints neighborhoods near downtown carry the same century-old charm, with steep original staircases and slim doorways that reward patient blanket-wrapping over brute force. The east side is a different world: master-planned communities like Tallgrass and newer developments around Dawley Farm offer wide streets and easy truck access but active HOAs that may cap truck-parking hours, so a quick call before move day pays off. And the Downtown Phillips Avenue district, with its converted lofts and historic storefronts, means freight elevators, loading zones, and one-way streets we map out in advance.
Compared with San Antonio, Sioux Falls trades big-city sprawl for a tighter, easier-to-navigate metro of around 210,000, and the honest headline for a Texas homeowner is property tax: leaving Bexar County's notoriously steep rates for South Dakota — which, like Texas, has no state income tax — can meaningfully change your monthly math. Housing dollars tend to stretch further per square foot as well, though you'll swap year-round patio weather for genuine four-season winters. It's a smaller, calmer city where a downtown loft, a historic McKennan Park bungalow, and a brand-new build out on the prairie all sit within a fifteen-minute drive of one another.

How a San Antonio-area to Sioux Falls 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 Sioux Falls move
Sioux Falls has a true four-season, humid-continental climate, and it's a real change from South Texas. Winters are cold and snowy, with January lows often in the single digits and wind chills that dive well below zero during a plains blizzard; ice storms and drifting snow can shut down stretches of I-29 with little warning. Summers are warm and humid, with July highs in the mid-80s, and spring through early summer brings the occasional severe thunderstorm and tornado risk since the region sits on the northern edge of tornado country. The sweet spot for a long-haul move is late spring through early fall — roughly May through September — when the roads are clear, the daylight is long, and the northern half of the corridor isn't threatening snow. If a winter move can't wait, we watch the forecast up I-29 closely and build schedule flexibility into the plan. Our trucks are clean, padded, and fully blanket-wrapped to protect your furniture through big temperature swings, but they are not climate-controlled, so we'll talk through any items that shouldn't sit in extreme cold or heat before we load.

I used Riverhills Moving twice for my long distance move to Arkansas. Jackson and his team are top-notch, friendly, polite, and really know how to pack the truck. I was very pleased each time they helped me. Anthony did my move the second time, and it went great! A very nice person. Would definitely recommend this company for your moving needs.

Do you actually drive our belongings straight from San Antonio to Sioux Falls, or hand them off along the way? expand_more
We drive them straight through. One RiverHills crew loads your home in San Antonio (or the Hill Country) and stays with the shipment the entire 1,080 miles up I-35 and I-29 to Sioux Falls — no interlining, no broker, and no transferring your things onto another company's truck at a hub in Kansas City or anywhere else.
We're moving from Boerne or Kerrville, not San Antonio proper — can you still handle it? expand_more
Absolutely. Boerne, Kerrville, and Fredericksburg are home turf for RiverHills — our branches sit right there in the Texas Hill Country. Those households share the exact same San Antonio-to-Sioux Falls corridor, so a Kerrville-to-Sioux Falls or Boerne-to-Sioux Falls move is planned with the same care and the same single crew.
How long does the move take to reach Sioux Falls? expand_more
The corridor runs about 1,080 miles and roughly a day and a half of pure drive time, so once you factor in mandatory federal rest breaks plus loading and unloading, a direct transit typically spans a couple of days. We give you a delivery window up front and keep you posted as the crew works its way up I-29.
When is the best time of year to make this move? expand_more
Late spring through early fall — around May to September — is ideal. It keeps the northern end of the route clear of blizzards and ice on I-29 and gives the crew long daylight hours to work. Winter moves are doable, but we watch the plains forecast closely and build in flexibility for weather.
