Reverse: Gulfport → Durham

Gulfport sits about 828 miles southwest of Durham, which makes this an interstate relocation from North Carolina 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 $3,880 to $5,770 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 14 h 59 min.

On the Durham side there are 338 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (194 of them authorized for interstate work), and 66 around Gulfport (51 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 Gulfport.

Durham has a population of about 305,561 and Gulfport about 72,000. Durham is considerably denser (2,513 people per square mile versus 1,311), 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 Carolina, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Durham to Gulfport?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,550 to $2,310 for a studio, $2,330 to $3,460 for a one-bedroom, $3,880 to $5,770 for a two-bedroom, $6,210 to $9,240 for a three-bedroom and $8,540 to $12,700 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Gulfport from Durham?

About 828 road miles (702 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 14 h 59 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

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.

Does my mover need interstate authority for this move?

Yes. Crossing from North Carolina 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.

Is it cheaper to rent a truck or use a container for Durham to Gulfport?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,150 to $1,620 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,760 to $2,590. 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.

When is the least expensive time to book this move?

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 Durham–Gulfport corridor.
