Moving from Gulfport to Toms River is a long-distance move of roughly 1,259 road miles, heading northeast from Mississippi to New Jersey.

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 $5,340 to $7,950 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 24 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 114 around Toms River (61 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 Toms River.

Gulfport has a population of about 72,000 and Toms River about 100,899. Toms River is the denser city (2,356 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.

Tips for this move

Declutter first: long-haul pricing is by weight, so every hundred pounds you sell or donate saves money.
Check whether a shuttle truck is needed in Toms River if a 53-foot trailer cannot reach your street.
Keep vehicle titles, passports and prescriptions with you; movers cannot carry some items at all.
Insist on a binding or binding-not-to-exceed estimate after an in-home or video survey.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Gulfport to Toms River?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $2,140 to $3,180 for a studio, $3,210 to $4,770 for a one-bedroom, $5,340 to $7,950 for a two-bedroom, $8,550 to $12,720 for a three-bedroom and $11,760 to $17,490 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Toms River from Gulfport?

About 1,259 road miles (1,067 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 22 h 24 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 Toms River?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,740 to $2,460 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,140 to $3,150. 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–Toms River corridor.
