Fort Worth, TX → Richardson, TX · Local move
About 47 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $1,210–$1,800, delivery in 0–1 days, 2,811 carriers on the Fort Worth side and 1,078 in Richardson.
Richardson sits about 47 miles east of Fort Worth, so this is an in-state move that most movers classify as a local move.
Because the two cities are close together, most companies quote this move by the hour: a crew of two to four movers plus a truck, with the drive of about 1 h 28 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,210 and $1,800, before packing or storage.
On the Fort Worth side there are 2,811 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (1,207 of them authorized for interstate work), and 1,078 around Richardson (453 interstate). For an in-state 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.
Fort Worth has a population of about 1 million and Richardson about 118,542. Richardson is the denser city (4,177 people per square mile versus 2,646 in Fort Worth), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

For a move this short, loading and delivery normally happen on the same day. Most crews finish a two-bedroom home in 5 to 8 hours plus the drive.
No. Because both Fort Worth and Richardson are in Texas, this is an intrastate move regulated by the state rather than the FMCSA. Still, choosing a carrier with an active USDOT number is the easiest way to confirm the company is a registered motor carrier with insurance on file.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $200 to $280 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,060 to $1,560. 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 Fort Worth–Richardson corridor.
