Richardson, TX → Springfield, MA · Cross-country move
About 1,723 road miles heading northeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $6,770–$10,080, delivery in 5–10 days, 1,078 carriers on the Richardson side and 213 in Springfield.
Moving from Richardson to Springfield is a cross-country move of roughly 1,723 road miles, heading northeast from Texas to Massachusetts.
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 $6,770 to $10,080 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 5 to 10 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 30 hours (4 driving days).
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 213 around Springfield (155 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 Springfield.
Richardson has a population of about 118,542 and Springfield about 154,702. The two cities have comparable density (4,177 and 4,888 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Massachusetts is a higher-cost state than Texas, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses. Note that Massachusetts does collect a state income tax, unlike Texas, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

About 1,723 road miles (1,460 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 30 hours (4 driving days).
Expect a delivery window of 5 to 10 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 Massachusetts 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 $2,370 to $3,350 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,560 to $3,760. 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–Springfield corridor.
