Evolution is a licensed household goods carrier, not a broker, so the company that quotes your move is the one that drives it north. Pads, shrink wrap, move-day wardrobe boxes, and bed frame takedown and setup all come inside the price. Free released value coverage is standard, and Worry Free upgrades exist for pricier pieces. See how our long haul crews out of San Antonio plan each lane.
San Antonio to Waco Moving
San Antonio to Waco Movers
Our San Antonio to Waco movers load your home, roll north past San Marcos and Georgetown, and unload at your new Central Texas address on the same trip. Before anything gets boxed, a video or in-home survey turns your inventory into a capped written figure. Send us your dates and we will start that number today.
How San Antonio Customers Score Our Crews
Route Notes
San Antonio to Waco Road Notes
The slow spots on this trip sit near both ends of the interstate. North of Loop 1604, the I-35 stretch up to FM 3009 made the 2025 Texas 100 Most Congested list, so our trucks clear it before the morning rush. From there the road runs past New Braunfels, San Marcos, Georgetown and Salado. In Waco, TxDOT is building a diverging diamond at Valley Mills Drive, with work expected into early 2029. Drivers take one fuel and rest break midway and aim to reach that zone outside the evening peak.
Loading in Castle Hills comes with a hard rule. City code bars parking cars or trucks on paved streets from 2 a.m. to 5 a.m., so a two-day pack cannot leave our truck at the curb overnight. At the far end, Hewitt connects new utility service only Monday through Friday, between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. Someone must be at the house when it happens. Book that window for unload day so lights and water work when the crew carries in.
Before your date, we study the walkthrough video for stairs, long carries and anything that needs a crate. That tells us how many movers to send and which truck fits. We sketch where the truck parks at both houses, and one coordinator keeps your dates, address notes and arrival window in a single text thread. Our San Antonio moving team runs this lane often, so fewer surprises reach your driveway.
Your Waco Prep List
- Skip St. Mary's move-in week in August
- Ask your Waco HOA about truck limits
- File a Castle Hills parking permit early
- Measure rooms in your larger Waco home

- Photograph electronics wiring before unplugging
- Text us Waco gate and lockbox codes
Each item ties to a city rule or road condition on this I-35 run.

How Much Does a San Antonio to Waco Move Cost?
Weight drives this price more than anything else. We add the crew and truck count your home needs, any stairs or long carries, and services like packing or crating. The written total works as a ceiling, not an opening bid. If the job stays as surveyed, your bill cannot climb above it.
| Home size | Est. weight | Crew | Typical range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio or 1 bedroom | 1,500 to 3,500 lbs | 2 movers, 1 truck | $1,350 to $1,550 |
| 2 to 3 bedrooms | 4,000 to 8,000 lbs | 3 movers, 1 truck | $1,550 to $1,750 |
| 4+ bedrooms | 9,000 to 13,000 lbs | 4 movers, 2 trucks | $1,750 to $2,250 |
Each range covers the movers, the truck, fuel, tolls and the drive itself on this lane. Balances paid by card carry a 2.5% fee.

Leaving San Antonio: Live Oak Bulk Week
Every pound you skip trims a weight-based bill, so start culling a month out. Live Oak runs curbside brush and bulk pickup during the first full week of each month, and items must sit at the curb before that Monday. Time your purge for the cycle ahead of load day. Old mattresses, broken patio sets and spare shelving then leave with the city truck instead of riding north on ours.
Settling into Waco: TSTC Family Housing
Some families land in Brazos Community, the TSTC family housing on the Waco campus. Its duplexes come unfurnished, and they are open to married students, students with dependents and veterans. Approved tenants must show proof of electricity and carry liability coverage before moving in. Send us your approval letter, unit number and move-in time. The crew then brings beds, tables and sofas straight to the right door.
Trading Up to a Midway ISD Home
Plenty of San Antonio buyers head for Midway ISD, which covers west Waco, Woodway, Hewitt and Speegleville. Bigger rooms are often the goal. The district also made out-of-district transfers free starting in 2026-27, so check whether you still need to buy inside its lines. Either way, we charge for what you ship, not for square feet. Empty bedrooms cost nothing to move into.
Waco Freeze Season and Your Load
NWS Fort Worth puts the average first freeze at Waco on November 21 and the last on March 11. Winter moves inside that window need a little extra care. We drain washer hoses, pad finished wood against cold cracks and keep the truck closed between carries. Houseplants, paint and liquids should ride in your heated car, since a parked trailer cools fast overnight.

Waco skews younger and is far smaller than San Antonio. Household incomes run lower there, yet home values sit only a little below, so the upsizing math depends on the neighborhood you pick. Shorter commutes are the clearest daily win. Many movers trade time on the road for a spare room or a deeper yard, then furnish the extra space slowly.
One cost the table skips is utility setup. If you land in Hewitt, the city collects a security deposit of $120 to $220 based on a risk check. It also charges a $50 activation fee before it turns service on. Details sit on the City of Hewitt new service page. Budget for it next to your moving deposit.

Our Office
Your Waco Move Starts on Parliament Street
Your quote takes shape at 11955 Parliament St, Suite 1308. Staff there review your walkthrough, choose the truck and crew, and set a departure that reaches the Valley Mills Drive work zone outside the evening crush. If you live closer to St. Mary's University, our West Side office at 9528 Culebra Rd #140-4 is the nearer stop. Call (210) 944-8858 Monday through Saturday, 7:30 AM to 7:30 PM. The office is closed Sunday. Once the truck pulls out, your coordinator follows its progress and texts you as the crew nears your Waco street. That gives you time to be there with keys and pet plans sorted.
What sets your San Antonio to Waco price:
- Total pounds riding north on I-35
- Movers needed to load safely
- One truck, or two for big homes
- Castle Hills parking limits at pickup
- Stairs or long carries at your Waco door
- Packing, crating and wardrobe boxes
- Dedicated truck or shared space
- Unload access in Hewitt, Woodway or Speegleville
The price shifts only if your inventory or services shift, and never before you sign off on a revised figure.
How It Works
San Antonio to Waco, Step by Step
Video Walkthrough
Show us each room on a video call or book an in-home visit. We note heavy pieces, stairs and anything that needs a crate before quoting.
Written Price
You get a not-to-exceed total in writing that lists crew, truck, packing and fuel. Nothing gets added later unless you add to the job.
Lock In Your Date
Approve the quote, choose your load day and confirm parking at both homes. Your coordinator sends a prep list and checks in the week before.
North on I-35
Your loaded truck heads north on I-35 the same day. Drivers check NWS flood warnings near San Marcos before rolling and reroute if water covers the road.
Unload in Waco
The crew unloads room by room in your Woodway, Hewitt or west Waco home. They reassemble beds and walk the house with you before signing off.
