Richardson, TX → Sioux Falls, SD · Long-distance move
About 862 road miles heading north. Typical two-bedroom cost $4,130–$6,150, delivery in 2–5 days, 1,078 carriers on the Richardson side and 79 in Sioux Falls.
Sioux Falls sits about 862 miles north of Richardson, which makes this an interstate relocation from Texas to South Dakota that most movers classify as a long-distance move.
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 $4,130 to $6,150 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 2 to 5 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 15 h 34 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 79 around Sioux Falls (59 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 Sioux Falls.
Richardson has a population of about 118,542 and Sioux Falls about 213,748. Richardson is considerably denser (4,177 people per square mile versus 2,434), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination.

About 862 road miles (730 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 15 h 34 min.
Expect a delivery window of 2 to 5 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 South Dakota 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 $1,190 to $1,670 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,790 to $2,630. 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–Sioux Falls corridor.
