Bridgeport, CT → Jackson, MS · Long-distance move
About 1,323 road miles heading southwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $5,420–$8,070, delivery in 3–7 days, 447 carriers on the Bridgeport side and 173 in Jackson.
Moving from Bridgeport to Jackson is a long-distance move of roughly 1,323 road miles, heading southwest from Connecticut 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 $5,420 to $8,070 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 23 h 31 min.
On the Bridgeport side there are 447 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (230 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.
Bridgeport has a population of about 152,273 and Jackson about 141,196. Bridgeport is considerably denser (9,233 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 Connecticut, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.

About 1,323 road miles (1,121 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 23 h 31 min.
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 Connecticut 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 $1,810 to $2,550 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,200 to $3,240. 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 Bridgeport–Jackson corridor.
