Biloxi, MS → Birmingham, AL · Regional long-distance move
About 293 road miles heading northeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $2,350–$3,490, delivery in 1–3 days, 55 carriers on the Biloxi side and 395 in Birmingham.
The route from Biloxi, MS to Birmingham, AL covers roughly 293 miles by road, a northeast-bound trip that falls into the regional long-distance move category for pricing purposes.
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 $2,350 to $3,490 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 5 h 45 min.
On the Biloxi side there are 55 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (42 of them authorized for interstate work), and 395 around Birmingham (208 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 Birmingham.
Biloxi has a population of about 50,000 and Birmingham about 195,893. The two cities have comparable density (1,152 and 1,366 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.

About 293 road miles (248 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 5 h 45 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 Mississippi into Alabama 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 $450 to $640 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,280 to $1,880. 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 Biloxi–Birmingham corridor.
