Gulfport, MS → South Fulton, GA · Regional long-distance move
About 406 road miles heading northeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $2,830–$4,210, delivery in 1–3 days, 66 carriers on the Gulfport side and 1,228 in South Fulton.
South Fulton sits about 406 miles northeast of Gulfport, which makes this an interstate relocation from Mississippi to Georgia that most movers classify as a regional 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 $2,830 to $4,210 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 3 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 7 h 42 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 1,228 around South Fulton (556 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 South Fulton.
Gulfport has a population of about 72,000 and South Fulton about 112,820. The two cities have comparable density (1,311 and 1,261 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Georgia is a higher-cost state than Mississippi, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

About 406 road miles (344 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 7 h 42 min.
Expect a delivery window of 1 to 3 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 Georgia 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 $570 to $800 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,380 to $2,030. 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–South Fulton corridor.
