Reverse: Moab → Gulfport

Moab sits about 1,523 miles northwest of Gulfport, which makes this an interstate relocation from Mississippi to Utah that most movers classify as a cross-country 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 $5,600 to $8,340 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 5 to 10 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 26 hours (3 driving days).

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 1 around Moab (1 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 Moab.

Gulfport has a population of about 72,000 and Moab about 5,000. The two cities have comparable density (1,311 and 1,118 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Utah is a higher-cost state than Mississippi, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

Frequently asked questions

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

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $2,240 to $3,340 for a studio, $3,360 to $5,000 for a one-bedroom, $5,600 to $8,340 for a two-bedroom, $8,970 to $13,340 for a three-bedroom and $12,330 to $18,340 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Moab from Gulfport?

About 1,523 road miles (1,291 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 26 hours (3 driving days).

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 5 to 10 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 Mississippi into Utah 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 Gulfport to Moab?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $2,160 to $3,060 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,380 to $3,500. 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 Gulfport–Moab corridor.
