Richardson, TX → Corpus Christi, TX · Regional long-distance move
About 427 road miles heading south. Typical two-bedroom cost $3,060–$4,550, delivery in 1–3 days, 1,078 carriers on the Richardson side and 98 in Corpus Christi.
Moving from Richardson to Corpus Christi is a regional long-distance move of roughly 427 road miles, heading south within 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 $3,060 to $4,550 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 4 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 98 around Corpus Christi (17 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 Corpus Christi.
Richardson has a population of about 118,542 and Corpus Christi about 317,247. Richardson is considerably denser (4,177 people per square mile versus 1,960), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination.

About 427 road miles (362 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 8 h 4 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.
No. Because both Richardson and Corpus Christi 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 $590 to $830 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,400 to $2,060. 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–Corpus Christi corridor.
