Reverse: Morristown → Gulfport

The route from Gulfport, MS to Morristown, NJ covers roughly 1,282 miles by road, a northeast-bound trip that falls into the long-distance move category for pricing purposes.

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 $5,400 to $8,040 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 48 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 168 around Morristown (119 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 Morristown.

Gulfport has a population of about 72,000 and Morristown about 20,000. Morristown is the denser city (7,008 people per square mile versus 1,311 in Gulfport), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. New Jersey 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 Morristown?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $2,160 to $3,210 for a studio, $3,240 to $4,820 for a one-bedroom, $5,400 to $8,040 for a two-bedroom, $8,640 to $12,860 for a three-bedroom and $11,880 to $17,680 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Morristown from Gulfport?

About 1,282 road miles (1,086 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 22 h 48 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

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.

Does my mover need interstate authority for this move?

Yes. Crossing from Mississippi into New Jersey 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 Morristown?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,770 to $2,500 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,160 to $3,180. 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–Morristown corridor.
