Road Notes

San Antonio to Lubbock Route Plan

TTI lists the McDermott Freeway stretch of I-10 between Loop 410 and I-35 among the most congested roads in Texas. Loads that start inside Loop 410 clear it before the morning rush. From there the truck rolls west past Kerrville to Junction, where Texas Tech runs the largest inland field station in the state. US 83 then carries it north through Menard and Ballinger, and US 84 finishes through Snyder and Post. Long gaps separate towns up there, so drivers map fuel stops before leaving. You pay no tolls on this lane.

If you work in the South Texas Medical Center, a district the San Antonio Medical Foundation links to 96,980 jobs, plan around its calendar. UT Health San Antonio holds surgery intern orientation over the last two weeks of June, and that timing crowds late June for medical households. In Lubbock, the TTUHSC general surgery residency lists a July 1 start, with training at University Medical Center and nearby Covenant Medical Center. Aim to unload several days before your first shift.

Our planners study your walkthrough video for stairs, elevator rules and the gate code at your Lubbock complex. They size the crew to your pounds, plan truck parking at both addresses, and give you one coordinator who texts updates from load to unload. Questions before then go to our San Antonio moving office, which books every departure on this lane.

Before the Truck Rolls

  • Book ahead of the late June rush
  • Confirm your Lubbock lease before July 1
  • Reserve your Medical Center elevator slot
  • Share your TTUHSC or UMC start date
  • Drive your car ahead through Junction
  • Pack scrubs and badges in your car
  • Check Frenship ISD enrollment for the kids
  • Label boxes for upstairs or garage

Send changes to this list to our office before load day.

Route Pricing

How Much Does a San Antonio to Lubbock Move Cost?

Your price starts with pounds, because weight decides how many movers and trucks the trip needs. We then add time for stairs, elevators and long carries, plus any packing or storage you choose. Those pieces are totaled and put in writing as the most you will pay, so the bill in Lubbock matches the plan.

Your home Approx. load Team Typical cost
Studio or 1 bedroom 1,500 to 3,500 lbs 2 movers, 1 truck $2,350 to $2,550
2 to 3 bedrooms 4,000 to 8,000 lbs 3 movers, 1 truck $2,550 to $2,750
4+ bedrooms 9,000 to 13,000 lbs 4 movers, 2 trucks $2,750 to $3,250

Each range covers the crew, the truck, fuel and every hour of the drive north. Balances paid by card carry a 2.5% fee.

    Leaving San Antonio's Medical Center

    Renting near the South Texas Medical Center on a trainee budget? Every pound you keep rides the full trip north and shows up in the weight-based price. Before your walkthrough, sell the bulky sofa, the spare dresser and the box of old board review books. A lighter list can drop you into a smaller crew size on our table, which trims the written total before you sign anything.

    Settling into Southwest Lubbock

    Frenship ISD, based in Wolfforth, serves more than 12,000 students on 16 campuses and reports enrollment growth of 2 to 5% each year. If you are buying or renting new construction in that district, ask the builder or landlord about move-in hours and where a large truck may stand. Send us the exact address, gate details and parking notes so the crew knows the setup before leaving San Antonio.

    Residents Bound for TTUHSC and UMC

    Starting a residency or staff job in Lubbock? UMC calls itself the primary teaching hospital for TTUHSC and employs more than 5,400 people. If your contract starts in July, set a June load date and choose a dedicated truck so delivery lands on a fixed day. That leaves room to unpack, find your parking and learn your route to the hospital before rotations begin. Ask your program office where to collect your badge and parking details that first week.

    June Heat on the South Plains

    NWS Lubbock lists a normal June high of 91.6 degrees and a normal low of 65.6. The city averages about 10 days a year at 100 degrees or hotter, and 2023 logged 46 of them. Our crews start loading in the cooler morning hours and wrap wood, leather and glass in pads to soften heat stress. Ask for an early unload slot in Lubbock as well.

    You trade a big metro for a smaller college and hospital city, and the daily drive to work gets much shorter. Homes cost less on average, so the same budget can stretch to an extra bedroom or a garage. Household incomes run a little lower too, which makes renting first a sensible test. Lubbock also skews younger, a sign of how many students and trainees live there.

    One cost the table skips is school district property tax. Frenship ISD posted that its adopted rate raises maintenance and operations taxes by about $18.50 on a $100,000 home. Read the Frenship ISD tax notice and check the district for any Lubbock address before you sign, since rates differ from one district to the next.

    What Changes After the Move

    • TTUHSC's Lubbock campus sits at 3601 4th Street
    • Six TTUHSC schools share the Lubbock campus, nursing and pharmacy included
    • UMC serves patients from West Texas and Eastern New Mexico
    • TTUHSC lists free parking for its Lubbock surgery residents

    FAQ

    Questions About Moving From San Antonio to Lubbock

    How much does it cost to move from San Antonio to Lubbock?
    A studio or one bedroom runs $2,350 to $2,550 on this route. Two or three bedrooms cost $2,550 to $2,750, and four bedrooms or more cost $2,750 to $3,250. Your exact figure depends on inventory, access and services. Try our moving cost calculator for a quick estimate first.
    How long does the drive to Lubbock take, and when will my things arrive?
    The trip covers 384 miles and takes about 5.8 hours of driving. Delivery usually happens within 1 to 2 days of loading. A dedicated truck gives you a set delivery date, while a shared truck carries other loads and gives you a delivery window instead. Load time itself depends on the size of your home.
    What deposit do you need, and can I finance the move?
    We take a $500 deposit per truck to hold your date. Homes with four or more bedrooms usually need two trucks, so plan for two deposits. Wisetack financing offers 0% APR to qualified customers, checks with a soft credit pull and charges no fees, so you can spread the balance over time.
    Can you deliver before my July residency start?
    Yes, when you book early. Many programs, including TTUHSC general surgery in Lubbock, begin in July, so late June load dates can fill fast. Reserve as soon as your contract is signed and pick a dedicated truck for a fixed arrival. Our week by week moving checklist helps you sort the tasks before then.
    What if my Lubbock lease starts after I leave San Antonio?
    We can pick up your goods, keep them in storage and deliver when your Lubbock unit is ready. Mention the gap during the walkthrough so storage nights appear on the written quote. This helps when a San Antonio lease ends mid-month but the new one begins on the first.
    Do apartment buildings need a certificate of insurance?
    Many managed buildings ask for one before movers use a loading dock or elevator. We issue a certificate of insurance at no cost, usually the same business day. Send the building manager's requirements a week ahead, and we will match the named insured and coverage wording they request.
    How is my furniture protected on the long drive?
    Every move includes released value coverage at no charge, set at $0.60 per pound per article. For more protection, Worry Free coverage upgrades start at $100 for up to $2,000 and reach $2,500 for up to $100,000. Crews also pad and shrink wrap furniture before it rides north.
    What should I carry in my own car?
    Keep anything you need on day one with you: work badges, scrubs, licenses, medications, laptops and important papers. Summer heat inside a truck box can warp candles, vinyl records and some electronics, so those travel better in your car. Everything else can go on the truck, padded and wrapped.
    Do I need to be there on moving day?
    Someone you trust should be present at each end to sign the inventory and answer questions. If a hospital shift blocks that, name a friend or relative for the San Antonio load and meet the truck yourself in Lubbock. Tell your coordinator who will sign so the crew knows ahead of time.
