Reverse: Richardson → Idaho Falls

Richardson sits about 1,300 miles southeast of Idaho Falls, which makes this an interstate relocation from Idaho to Texas that most movers classify as a long-distance move.

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 $5,310 to $7,910 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 3 to 7 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 23 h 7 min.

On the Idaho Falls side there are 81 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (67 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.

Idaho Falls has a population of about 68,000 and Richardson about 118,542. Richardson is the denser city (4,177 people per square mile versus 2,440 in Idaho Falls), 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.

Tips for this move

Verify the carrier's USDOT and MC numbers on the FMCSA site before paying a deposit.
Ask how the delivery window is calculated and what the delay compensation is.
Declutter first: long-haul pricing is by weight, so every hundred pounds you sell or donate saves money.
Check whether a shuttle truck is needed in Richardson if a 53-foot trailer cannot reach your street.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Idaho Falls to Richardson?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $2,130 to $3,160 for a studio, $3,190 to $4,740 for a one-bedroom, $5,310 to $7,910 for a two-bedroom, $8,500 to $12,650 for a three-bedroom and $11,690 to $17,390 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Richardson from Idaho Falls?

About 1,300 road miles (1,101 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 23 h 7 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 3 to 7 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.

Does my mover need interstate authority for this move?

Yes. Crossing from Idaho 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.

Is it cheaper to rent a truck or use a container for Idaho Falls to Richardson?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,790 to $2,520 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,180 to $3,210. 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.

When is the least expensive time to book this move?

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 Idaho Falls–Richardson corridor.
