The route
A genuine long haul at 1,692 miles from California to Texas. Almost all of these move as consolidated freight: your goods share a trailer and the carrier quotes 7 to 14 days rather than a date. It is why a two-bedroom home here runs $7,614 – $10,152 instead of scaling straight with distance, and also why there is more handling and a looser schedule.

How these figures are calculated
At the San Antonio end
For a local crew after delivery, the largest licensed carriers within 30 miles of San Antonio: Scobey Moving & Storage Ltd (San Antonio, 123 trucks), All My Sons Moving & Storage of San Antonio LLC (San Antonio, 20 trucks), Two Men and A Truck (San Antonio, 17 trucks), Jackson Movers LLC (San Antonio, 16 trucks).
Rules that apply to this move
Because the truck crosses from California into Texas, 49 CFR Part 375 applies: a written estimate before loading, no more than 110% of a non-binding estimate collected at delivery, and full-value protection unless you choose released value in writing. See binding vs non-binding estimates and valuation explained.
Before you book Roseville to San Antonio
Insist on a survey
Over 1,692 miles the price is driven almost entirely by weight. A quote given without a video or in-home survey is a guess that gets revised upward on loading day, and at this distance the revision is expensive.
Keep full-value protection
It is the default on an interstate move. Signing it away for released value means 60 cents per pound, about $18 for a 30 lb television, after 1,692 miles of handling.
Arriving in San Antonio
A local move inside San Antonio later — across town, out of temporary housing — is billed by the hour: about $445 – $733 for a two-bedroom home and $741 – $1,344 for three bedrooms. The nearest cities we cover from San Antonio are Austin (about 86 mi), Corpus Christi (about 155 mi), Laredo (about 166 mi).
