Reverse: Hattiesburg → Harrisburg

The route from Harrisburg, PA to Hattiesburg, MS covers roughly 1,098 miles by road, a southwest-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 $4,570 to $6,810 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 19 h 38 min.

On the Harrisburg side there are 251 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (179 of them authorized for interstate work), and 50 around Hattiesburg (36 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 Hattiesburg.

Harrisburg has a population of about 50,000 and Hattiesburg about 48,000. Harrisburg is considerably denser (6,171 people per square mile versus 912), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Labor and living costs run lower in Mississippi than in Pennsylvania, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Harrisburg to Hattiesburg?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,830 to $2,720 for a studio, $2,740 to $4,080 for a one-bedroom, $4,570 to $6,810 for a two-bedroom, $7,320 to $10,890 for a three-bedroom and $10,060 to $14,970 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Hattiesburg from Harrisburg?

About 1,098 road miles (931 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 19 h 38 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 Pennsylvania into Mississippi 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 Harrisburg to Hattiesburg?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,580 to $2,230 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,000 to $2,940. 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 Harrisburg–Hattiesburg corridor.
