Cape Girardeau, MO → Biloxi, MS · Long-distance move
About 563 road miles heading south. Typical two-bedroom cost $3,220–$4,790, delivery in 2–5 days, 58 carriers on the Cape Girardeau side and 55 in Biloxi.
Biloxi sits about 563 miles south of Cape Girardeau, which makes this an interstate relocation from Missouri 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 $3,220 to $4,790 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 2 to 5 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 10 h 24 min.
On the Cape Girardeau side there are 58 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (45 of them authorized for interstate work), and 55 around Biloxi (42 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 Biloxi.
Cape Girardeau has a population of about 40,000 and Biloxi about 50,000. The two cities have comparable density (1,351 and 1,152 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.

About 563 road miles (477 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 10 h 24 min.
Expect a delivery window of 2 to 5 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 Missouri 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 $880 to $1,240 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,520 to $2,240. 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 Cape Girardeau–Biloxi corridor.
