Reverse: Abilene → Hattiesburg

Moving from Hattiesburg to Abilene is a long-distance move of roughly 727 road miles, heading west 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 $3,670 to $5,460 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 2 to 5 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 13 h 14 min.

On the Hattiesburg side there are 50 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (36 of them authorized for interstate work), and 44 around Abilene (14 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 Abilene.

Hattiesburg has a population of about 48,000 and Abilene about 131,588. The two cities have comparable density (912 and 1,173 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.

Frequently asked questions

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

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,470 to $2,180 for a studio, $2,200 to $3,280 for a one-bedroom, $3,670 to $5,460 for a two-bedroom, $5,870 to $8,730 for a three-bedroom and $8,070 to $12,010 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Abilene from Hattiesburg?

About 727 road miles (616 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 13 h 14 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 2 to 5 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 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.

Is it cheaper to rent a truck or use a container for Hattiesburg to Abilene?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,050 to $1,480 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,670 to $2,450. 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 Hattiesburg–Abilene corridor.
