Reverse: Chico → Hattiesburg

Moving from Hattiesburg to Chico is a cross-country move of roughly 2,250 road miles, heading northwest from Mississippi to California.

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 $7,500 to $11,170 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 7 to 14 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 39 hours (5 driving days).

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 47 around Chico (22 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 Chico.

Hattiesburg has a population of about 48,000 and Chico about 105,081. Chico is the denser city (2,976 people per square mile versus 912 in Hattiesburg), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. California 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 Chico?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $3,000 to $4,470 for a studio, $4,500 to $6,700 for a one-bedroom, $7,500 to $11,170 for a two-bedroom, $12,010 to $17,870 for a three-bedroom and $16,510 to $24,560 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Chico from Hattiesburg?

About 2,250 road miles (1,906 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 39 hours (5 driving days).

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 7 to 14 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 California 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 Chico?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $3,060 to $4,320 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $3,030 to $4,450. 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–Chico corridor.
