Alpharetta, GA → Hattiesburg, MS · Regional long-distance move
About 413 road miles heading southwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $2,850–$4,250, delivery in 1–3 days, 1,260 carriers on the Alpharetta side and 50 in Hattiesburg.
Moving from Alpharetta to Hattiesburg is a regional long-distance move of roughly 413 road miles, heading southwest from Georgia to Mississippi.
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 $2,850 to $4,250 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 3 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 7 h 49 min.
On the Alpharetta side there are 1,260 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (604 of them authorized for interstate work), and 50 around Hattiesburg (36 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 Hattiesburg.
Alpharetta has a population of about 68,000 and Hattiesburg about 48,000. Alpharetta is considerably denser (2,447 people per square mile versus 912), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Labor and living costs run lower in Mississippi than in Georgia, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.

About 413 road miles (350 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 7 h 49 min.
Expect a delivery window of 1 to 3 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 Georgia into Mississippi 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 $570 to $810 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,390 to $2,040. 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 Alpharetta–Hattiesburg corridor.
