Hattiesburg, MS → Allentown, PA · Long-distance move
About 1,184 road miles heading northeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $4,770–$7,100, delivery in 3–7 days, 50 carriers on the Hattiesburg side and 424 in Allentown.
Moving from Hattiesburg to Allentown is a long-distance move of roughly 1,184 road miles, heading northeast from Mississippi to Pennsylvania.
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 $4,770 to $7,100 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 21 h 7 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 424 around Allentown (296 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 Allentown.
Hattiesburg has a population of about 48,000 and Allentown about 126,044. Allentown is the denser city (7,150 people per square mile versus 912 in Hattiesburg), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Pennsylvania is a higher-cost state than Mississippi, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

About 1,184 road miles (1,003 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 21 h 7 min.
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.
Yes. Crossing from Mississippi into Pennsylvania 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 $1,670 to $2,350 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,080 to $3,050. 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 Hattiesburg–Allentown corridor.
