Reverse: Chicago → Hattiesburg

Chicago sits about 865 miles north of Hattiesburg, which makes this an interstate relocation from Mississippi to Illinois that most movers classify as a long-distance move.

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 $4,140 to $6,160 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 15 h 37 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 2,923 around Chicago (2,209 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 Chicago.

Hattiesburg has a population of about 48,000 and Chicago about 2.7 million. Chicago is the denser city (12,061 people per square mile versus 912 in Hattiesburg), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Illinois is a higher-cost state than Mississippi, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

Frequently asked questions

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

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,660 to $2,460 for a studio, $2,480 to $3,690 for a one-bedroom, $4,140 to $6,160 for a two-bedroom, $6,620 to $9,850 for a three-bedroom and $9,100 to $13,540 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Chicago from Hattiesburg?

About 865 road miles (733 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 15 h 37 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 Illinois 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 Chicago?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,190 to $1,680 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,790 to $2,640. 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–Chicago corridor.
