Gulfport, MS → Mobile, AL · Short-haul move
About 71 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $1,200–$1,790, delivery in 1–2 days, 66 carriers on the Gulfport side and 168 in Mobile.
The route from Gulfport, MS to Mobile, AL covers roughly 71 miles by road, a east-bound trip that falls into the short-haul move category for pricing purposes.
Because the two cities are close together, most companies quote this move by the hour: a crew of two to four movers plus a truck, with the drive of about 1 h 55 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,200 and $1,790, before packing or storage.
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 168 around Mobile (103 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 Mobile.
Gulfport has a population of about 72,000 and Mobile about 200,824. The two cities have comparable density (1,311 and 1,341 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.

About 71 road miles (60 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 1 h 55 min.
For a move this short, loading and delivery normally happen on the same day. Most crews finish a two-bedroom home in 5 to 8 hours plus the drive.
Yes. Crossing from Mississippi into Alabama 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 $220 to $310 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,080 to $1,590. 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.
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–Mobile corridor.
