Gulfport, MS → Texarkana, TX · Regional long-distance move
About 426 road miles heading northwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $2,900–$4,310, delivery in 1–3 days, 66 carriers on the Gulfport side and 51 in Texarkana.
Moving from Gulfport to Texarkana is a regional long-distance move of roughly 426 road miles, heading northwest from Mississippi to Texas.
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 $2,900 to $4,310 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 8 h 3 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 51 around Texarkana (35 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 Texarkana.
Gulfport has a population of about 72,000 and Texarkana about 37,000. The two cities have comparable density (1,311 and 1,152 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. 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 426 road miles (361 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 8 h 3 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 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 $590 to $830 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,400 to $2,060. 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–Texarkana corridor.
