Moving from Richardson to Pembroke Pines is a long-distance move of roughly 1,291 road miles, heading east from Texas to Florida.
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 $5,340 to $7,950 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 22 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 2,479 around Pembroke Pines (829 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 Pembroke Pines.
Richardson has a population of about 118,542 and Pembroke Pines about 176,714. The two cities have comparable density (4,177 and 5,235 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.

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 Florida 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 $1,780 to $2,510 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,170 to $3,190. 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–Pembroke Pines corridor.
