Memphis, TN → Sherman, TX · Regional long-distance move
About 464 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $3,140–$4,670, delivery in 1–3 days, 534 carriers on the Memphis side and 41 in Sherman.
Moving from Memphis to Sherman is a regional long-distance move of roughly 464 road miles, heading west from Tennessee 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 $3,140 to $4,670 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 3 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 8 h 42 min.
On the Memphis side there are 534 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (397 of them authorized for interstate work), and 41 around Sherman (22 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 Sherman.
Memphis has a population of about 609,647 and Sherman about 50,000. Memphis is considerably denser (2,132 people per square mile versus 940), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination.

About 464 road miles (393 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 8 h 42 min.
Expect a delivery window of 1 to 3 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 Tennessee 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 $780 to $1,100 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,430 to $2,110. 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 Memphis–Sherman corridor.
