Gulfport, MS → Edinburg, TX · Long-distance move
About 733 road miles heading southwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $3,680–$5,480, delivery in 2–5 days, 66 carriers on the Gulfport side and 307 in Edinburg.
Edinburg sits about 733 miles southwest of Gulfport, which makes this an interstate relocation from Mississippi to Texas 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 $3,680 to $5,480 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 13 h 20 min.
On the Gulfport side there are 66 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (51 of them authorized for interstate work), and 307 around Edinburg (188 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 Edinburg.
Gulfport has a population of about 72,000 and Edinburg about 110,700. Edinburg is the denser city (2,243 people per square mile versus 1,311 in Gulfport), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Texas is a higher-cost state than Mississippi, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses. Texas levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

About 733 road miles (621 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 13 h 20 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 Mississippi into Texas 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 $1,050 to $1,490 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,670 to $2,460. 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 Gulfport–Edinburg corridor.
