St. Charles, MO → Richardson, TX · Long-distance move
About 626 road miles heading southwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $3,550–$5,280, delivery in 2–5 days, 327 carriers on the St. Charles side and 1,078 in Richardson.
Richardson sits about 626 miles southwest of St. Charles, which makes this an interstate relocation from Missouri to Texas 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 $3,550 to $5,280 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 11 h 30 min.
On the St. Charles side there are 327 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (212 of them authorized for interstate work), and 1,078 around Richardson (453 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 Richardson.
St. Charles has a population of about 72,000 and Richardson about 118,542. Richardson is the denser city (4,177 people per square mile versus 2,797 in St. Charles), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Texas levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

About 626 road miles (531 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 11 h 30 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 Missouri into Texas 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 $940 to $1,330 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,580 to $2,320. 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 St. Charles–Richardson corridor.
