About 54 road miles heading north. Typical two-bedroom cost $1,240–$1,850, delivery in 1–2 days, 1,078 carriers on the Richardson side and 41 in Sherman.
The route from Richardson, TX to Sherman, TX covers roughly 54 miles by road, a north-bound trip that falls into the short-haul move category for pricing purposes.
Because the two cities are close together, most companies quote this move by the hour: a crew of two to four movers plus a truck, with the drive of about 1 h 38 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,240 and $1,850, before packing or storage.
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 41 around Sherman (22 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 Sherman.
Richardson has a population of about 118,542 and Sherman about 50,000. Richardson is considerably denser (4,177 people per square mile versus 940), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination.

For a move this short, loading and delivery normally happen on the same day. Most crews finish a two-bedroom home in 5 to 8 hours plus the drive.
No. Because both Richardson and Sherman 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 $210 to $290 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,070 to $1,570. 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–Sherman corridor.
