Biloxi, MS → Lake Charles, LA · Regional long-distance move
About 301 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $2,410–$3,590, delivery in 1–3 days, 55 carriers on the Biloxi side and 25 in Lake Charles.
The route from Biloxi, MS to Lake Charles, LA covers roughly 301 miles by road, a west-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 $2,410 to $3,590 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 53 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 25 around Lake Charles (18 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 Lake Charles.
Biloxi has a population of about 50,000 and Lake Charles about 80,000. Lake Charles is the denser city (1,788 people per square mile versus 1,152 in Biloxi), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

About 301 road miles (255 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 5 h 53 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 Louisiana 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 $460 to $650 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,290 to $1,900. 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–Lake Charles corridor.
