Richardson, TX → Minneapolis, MN · Long-distance move
About 1,001 road miles heading north. Typical two-bedroom cost $4,650–$6,920, delivery in 3–7 days, 1,078 carriers on the Richardson side and 1,248 in Minneapolis.
The route from Richardson, TX to Minneapolis, MN covers roughly 1,001 miles by road, a north-bound trip that falls into the 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 $4,650 to $6,920 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 17 h 58 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 1,248 around Minneapolis (529 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 Minneapolis.
Richardson has a population of about 118,542 and Minneapolis about 430,324. Minneapolis is the denser city (7,962 people per square mile versus 4,177 in Richardson), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Note that Minnesota does collect a state income tax, unlike Texas, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

About 1,001 road miles (849 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 17 h 58 min.
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.
Yes. Crossing from Texas into Minnesota 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 $1,480 to $2,090 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,910 to $2,810. 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–Minneapolis corridor.
