Reverse: Richardson → Peoria

Richardson sits about 784 miles southwest of Peoria, which makes this an interstate relocation from Illinois 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 $4,150 to $6,170 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 14 h 13 min.

On the Peoria side there are 42 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (29 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.

Peoria has a population of about 110,920 and Richardson about 118,542. Richardson is the denser city (4,177 people per square mile versus 2,357 in Peoria), 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.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Peoria to Richardson?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,660 to $2,470 for a studio, $2,490 to $3,700 for a one-bedroom, $4,150 to $6,170 for a two-bedroom, $6,640 to $9,870 for a three-bedroom and $9,130 to $13,580 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Richardson from Peoria?

About 784 road miles (665 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 14 h 13 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

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.

Does my mover need interstate authority for this move?

Yes. Crossing from Illinois 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 Peoria to Richardson?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,110 to $1,560 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,720 to $2,530. 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 Peoria–Richardson corridor.
