Fishers, IN → Richardson, TX · Long-distance move
About 905 road miles heading southwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $4,210–$6,270, delivery in 2–5 days, 345 carriers on the Fishers side and 1,078 in Richardson.
Moving from Fishers to Richardson is a long-distance move of roughly 905 road miles, heading southwest from Indiana to Texas.
At this distance carriers price by shipment weight and mileage rather than by the hour. A two-bedroom home (around 5,000 lb of goods) typically costs $4,210 to $6,270 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 2 to 5 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 16 h 18 min.
On the Fishers side there are 345 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (225 of them authorized for interstate work), and 1,078 around Richardson (453 interstate). For an interstate move you can book from either end; movers near the origin handle loading and are usually the better first call, while a destination-side company can be useful if you need storage or delivery-day help in Richardson.
Fishers has a population of about 104,812 and Richardson about 118,542. Richardson is the denser city (4,177 people per square mile versus 2,780 in Fishers), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Texas levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

Expect a delivery window of 2 to 5 days after pickup. Carriers give a spread rather than a fixed date because long-distance trucks carry several shipments; a dedicated truck or expedited service shortens the window for an extra fee.
Yes. Crossing from Indiana into Texas makes this an interstate move, so the carrier must hold active FMCSA operating authority (an MC number) in addition to its USDOT number. The company cards on this page flag which carriers are authorized for interstate work.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,380 to $1,950 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,830 to $2,690. Both save money versus a full-service crew but you do the loading, and container transit can take longer than a mover's delivery window.
Rates are highest in summer and around the last days of any month, when demand peaks. Mid-month, mid-week and winter dates are usually quoted below the standard rate. Booking four to eight weeks ahead gives you the widest choice of carriers on the Fishers–Richardson corridor.
