Richardson, TX → Bentonville, AR · Regional long-distance move
About 322 road miles heading northeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $2,580–$3,830, delivery in 1–3 days, 1,078 carriers on the Richardson side and 57 in Bentonville.
The route from Richardson, TX to Bentonville, AR covers roughly 322 miles by road, a northeast-bound trip that falls into the regional long-distance move category for pricing purposes.
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 $2,580 to $3,830 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 6 h 15 min.
On the Richardson side there are 1,078 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (453 of them authorized for interstate work), and 57 around Bentonville (43 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 Bentonville.
Richardson has a population of about 118,542 and Bentonville about 60,000. Richardson is considerably denser (4,177 people per square mile versus 1,528), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Labor and living costs run lower in Arkansas than in Texas, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home. Note that Arkansas does collect a state income tax, unlike Texas, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

About 322 road miles (273 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 6 h 15 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 Texas into Arkansas 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 $480 to $680 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,310 to $1,920. 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 Richardson–Bentonville corridor.
