Edison, NJ → Biloxi, MS · Long-distance move
About 1,267 road miles heading southwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $5,360–$7,980, delivery in 3–7 days, 665 carriers on the Edison side and 55 in Biloxi.
Biloxi sits about 1,267 miles southwest of Edison, which makes this an interstate relocation from New Jersey 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 $5,360 to $7,980 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 22 h 33 min.
On the Edison side there are 665 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (476 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.
Edison has a population of about 109,077 and Biloxi about 50,000. Edison is considerably denser (3,574 people per square mile versus 1,152), 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 New Jersey, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.

About 1,267 road miles (1,074 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 22 h 33 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 New Jersey 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 $1,750 to $2,470 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,150 to $3,160. 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 Edison–Biloxi corridor.
