What moves the price
Factors on this specific lane
- Straight I-10. No corridor change the whole way — El Paso, the Hill Country, and into San Antonio.
- Military city. Joint Base San Antonio drives steady PCS traffic — we handle the off-base handoff routine.
- Through-corridor capacity. San Antonio sits on the same spine as our Austin runs, so departures are frequent.
- Growth-ring delivery. Downtown and inner loops are easy; far suburbs (New Braunfels, Boerne) may use meeting points.
- Austin pairing. Vehicles for both metros often ride the same truck — 80 miles apart on the drop sequence.
