San Antonio is the longest of our regular I-35 runs — 280 miles and roughly four and a half hours from the yard on Eldorado Parkway, assuming Austin’s midday traffic doesn’t add to it. Move coordinator Tobias Kincaid builds extra slack into San Antonio bookings for that exact reason: Austin sits almost exactly at the halfway point, and a truck that leaves McKinney at seven in the morning still hits Round Rock during the tail end of rush hour.
San Antonio is home to a large concentration of military installations, and a good number of the households we move there are following orders — a permanent change of station, or a spouse separating from service and settling near family already stationed nearby. We also see corporate transfers tied to San Antonio’s insurance and financial sector, plus the reverse trip: military families rotating back through North Texas after years on the Gulf Coast or overseas. Whatever the reason, we’re used to working around report dates and housing office deadlines instead of a leisurely moving calendar.
The estimate you get in McKinney and the delivery you get in San Antonio come from the same four to six people. Senior mover Emmett Solis has run this route often enough to know which San Antonio neighborhoods have narrow alley access and where a truck needs to park on the street instead — institutional knowledge that doesn’t transfer if you’re handed off to a different crew at the destination, which is exactly why we don’t hand anyone off.
Everett Doyle’s original complaint with the moving industry was quotes that didn’t survive contact with the actual move. A 280-mile trip has plenty of places for a number to drift — fuel, tolls, an extra flight of stairs — and we build all of it into the flat price up front so there’s nothing left to renegotiate on delivery day.
Good questions
McKinney moving questions, answered
How long is the drive from McKinney to San Antonio?
About four and a half hours on I-35, longer if Austin traffic is heavy midday. We typically schedule San Antonio moves as either a long single day or a two-day job with an overnight stop, depending on home size and pickup time.
Can you work around a military report date or PCS deadline?
Yes — we book a meaningful share of San Antonio moves around military timelines and build in the slack a report date requires. Tell us the deadline during the walkthrough and we schedule the truck to protect it.
Is the San Antonio price locked in before move day?
Yes. We quote a flat number from an in-home or video walkthrough before the truck ever loads, covering the full 280-mile trip, fuel, and standard access at both ends. That figure is what shows up on the invoice.
Why McKinney books us
Why choose Delta One Moving Companies?
One dedicated crew runs your move from the first call to the last box off the truck, in our own trucks, and the invoice matches what we told you on the phone.
Zero Gap, Every Invoice
The number you sign before move day is the number we collect after it — no add-on for a stuck elevator, a triple-digit afternoon, or extra padding on the truck.
Our Trucks, Our Payroll
Every hand on your load is a W-2 employee in our uniform — we don’t fill trucks with day-labor crews or pass your move to a subcontractor down the line.
Texas-Registered & Covered
Current Texas household-goods registration, cargo coverage riding on every haul, and a certificate of insurance to your HOA or property manager the same day you ask for one.
We Know These Streets
US-75 backing up solid on the Plano-to-McKinney commute, the narrow drives around the historic Downtown Square, a fresh subdivision off the US-380 corridor where the street signs just went in — all of it gets mapped out before your crew ever touches the truck.
A Real Person Answers
Call and a real McKinney office employee picks up — never an overseas script-reader. We hold to the arrival window we quote, and rebooking your date never comes with a penalty.
Long-distance
Where we drive out of McKinney
The same crew that loads your truck in McKinney drives it and unloads it at the destination — no swapping trucks, no layover on somebody else’s dock.
Treated like it’s ours
What happens to your things on the truck
Wrapped before it leaves the room
Every sofa, table, and dresser gets blanket-wrapped and shrink-filmed while it’s still sitting where you left it — nothing goes down the hallway bare.
Floors and door frames get covered first
Down go the floor runners and padding on every door jamb before a single box moves, so the walk out and the walk in both stay mark-free.
Beds and tables come apart and go back together
Cribs, dining tables, and bed frames get broken down for the ride and reassembled at the new place — you don’t touch a screwdriver.
Fragile items ride alone
Mirrors, artwork, glassware, and electronics get their own dedicated cartons with corner protection — never wedged between the couch cushions.
The truck does the lifting
Straps, dollies, and ramps take the weight of the heavy pieces, so nothing gets dragged, dropped, or muscled up a staircase.
Same hands, start to finish
Whoever wraps the first box is still there setting down the last one — no new faces show up partway through your move.

How it works
Three steps, no drama
01
Tell us the basics
Call in or use the site form with your starting ZIP, destination ZIP, and roughly how many rooms are moving. That’s enough for a firm number back the same day — no home visit needed, no charge just for asking.
02
Lock in your date
Once you confirm, that truck and crew are booked under your name for the day. Need paperwork sent to a property manager or HOA first? We handle that before move day gets here.
03
We show up and close the gap
Your crew shows up inside the promised window, pads and wraps everything that needs it, and the total on the invoice matches your quote — nothing extra tacked on.
Ready to lock in your date?
We handle every load like it’s our own stuff riding in the truck — a single price, a single crew, no substitutions midway through. Tell us where you’re headed and you’ll have a firm number back before the day is out.
