Bismarck, ND → Jackson, MS · Long-distance move
About 1,353 road miles heading southeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $5,110–$7,610, delivery in 3–7 days, 42 carriers on the Bismarck side and 173 in Jackson.
Jackson sits about 1,353 miles southeast of Bismarck, which makes this an interstate relocation from North Dakota to Mississippi 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 $5,110 to $7,610 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 3 to 7 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 24 hours (3 driving days).
On the Bismarck side there are 42 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (32 of them authorized for interstate work), and 173 around Jackson (113 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 Jackson.
Bismarck has a population of about 76,000 and Jackson about 141,196. Bismarck is considerably denser (2,123 people per square mile versus 1,376), 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 North Dakota, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.

About 1,353 road miles (1,146 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 24 hours (3 driving days).
Expect a delivery window of 3 to 7 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 North Dakota 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 $1,990 to $2,810 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,230 to $3,280. 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 Bismarck–Jackson corridor.
