We hold our own household goods license and we are not a broker. The people who load your San Antonio home work for us and stay with your belongings all the way to Arlington. Ryan and Cameron Hughey, the brothers who started Evolution, still run it every day. Blankets, shrink wrap and furniture assembly come inside your price instead of as add-ons. Read how our long haul crews from San Antonio work.

Road Notes
San Antonio to Arlington Drive Guide
Your truck leaves Bexar County on I-35 and climbs through New Braunfels and San Marcos toward Austin. Our drivers check live traffic before Austin and plan a fuel stop well clear of downtown. Past Waco, the interstate splits at Hillsboro and the truck takes I-35W toward Fort Worth. South and central Arlington addresses come in on I-20. North Arlington moves use I-30, where the Loop 820 to SH 360 stretch ranked 41st on the 2025 Texas list of most congested roads. We set departure so the truck reaches that segment outside rush hour.
Rain can decide how loading day goes in San Antonio. The city ranks its riskiest low water crossings by rescues, and both North Loop in the 78216 ZIP and Spencer Lane east of Balcones made the top ten. Before our crew rolls out, we check SA.gov/Floods for barricades and pick a dry path to your door. At the other end, houses near UT Arlington sit close to College Park Center. UTA’s parking office warned that a game there on 2026 move-in day would bring parking limits and road closures, so we check the arena calendar before your unload.
During your survey, our estimator counts stairs, measures long carries and flags furniture that must come apart. Those notes decide how many movers you get and how many trucks. We also mark where the truck will park at each address, from a Monte Vista curb to a Viridian driveway. One coordinator keeps all of it and texts you as plans firm up. Meet our San Antonio moving office to see who runs your job.
Before the Truck Rolls
- Watch SA.gov/Floods if rain threatens
- Clear a parking spot at both homes
- Reserve your UTA housing check-in slot
- Order UTA parking permits after August 1
- Share your Viridian closing date early
- Ask Vandergriff Hall which garage is yours
- Label every box by destination room
- Photograph electronics wiring before packing
Bring this list to your walkthrough and we will fill the gaps together.

Start My Quote Call (210) 944-8858Leaving San Antonio: Monte Vista Homes
Monte Vista holds about 100 city blocks of houses built between 1890 and 1930, and older homes like these tend to collect decades of furniture. Because you pay by weight, sell what you will not use in Arlington. San Antonio allows four garage sales a year per home, with a $16 permit sold online or at participating H-E-B stores. Selling five items or fewer needs no permit. Every piece you sell drops your total.
Settling into Arlington at Viridian
Viridian spreads across about 2,000 acres in north Arlington, with roughly 3,500 homes planned by its developer. Gate codes, model homes and builder trailers can all change where a truck parks. Send us your lot address, builder contact and closing date as soon as you have them. If the house is not ready, we hold your load and deliver once you get the keys.
UT Arlington Students and Staff
UT Arlington counts 42,787 students in its preliminary fall 2026 numbers, so faculty, staff and families move here every year. Residence hall check-in follows a set routine: students check in first without belongings, then carry items to their room. UTA keeps only a limited supply of dollies and carts. Our crew brings its own equipment, so a graduate student or new professor can unload an apartment without waiting on campus carts.
Storm Season and Summer Heat
In October 1998, torrential rain fell along the Balcones Escarpment from San Antonio to Austin. Many of the lives lost were motorists driving through low water crossings. At the Arlington end, DFW sees its first 100 degree day around July 1 on average and its last near August 27. We wrap furniture in pads and shrink wrap, load heat-sensitive items last, and watch NWS warnings so the truck can reroute around flooded crossings.
Route Pricing
How Much Does a San Antonio to Arlington Move Cost?
Weight drives most of this price, since every pound rides north on I-35. Crew size, truck count, stairs, long carries and any packing you add fill in the rest. After the walkthrough, you get a ceiling in writing. Your final bill can land under that number, but it cannot climb above it unless the job itself changes.
| Your home | Approx. load | Team | Typical cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio or 1 bedroom | 1,500 to 3,500 lbs | 2 movers, 1 truck | $1,850 to $2,050 |
| 2 to 3 bedrooms | 4,000 to 8,000 lbs | 3 movers, 1 truck | $2,050 to $2,250 |
| 4+ bedrooms | 9,000 to 13,000 lbs | 4 movers, 2 trucks | $2,250 to $2,750 |
Each range covers your moving crew, the truck, fuel, any tolls and the full drive north to Arlington. Balances paid by card carry a 2.5% fee.

Arlington homes cost more than what most San Antonio sellers leave behind, though household earnings run higher there as well. Expect your housing budget to stretch less than it did at home. Commutes run a little longer, so test the drive to work before you sign. Arlington also skews slightly younger, which fits its big student population and many rental options near campus.
One expense the table skips is your new water account. Arlington asks new customers for a deposit of at least $160 and needs your request 24 hours ahead. That single account covers water, sewer, trash pickup and storm drainage. Set it up through the Arlington water service page.
