Moving from Hattiesburg to Jonesboro is a regional long-distance move of roughly 379 road miles, heading north from Mississippi to Arkansas.

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 $2,620 to $3,900 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 3 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 7 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 42 around Jonesboro (29 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 Jonesboro.

Hattiesburg has a population of about 48,000 and Jonesboro about 81,000. The two cities have comparable density (912 and 980 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.

Frequently asked questions

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

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,090 to $1,630 for a studio, $1,570 to $2,340 for a one-bedroom, $2,620 to $3,900 for a two-bedroom, $4,200 to $6,240 for a three-bedroom and $5,770 to $8,580 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Jonesboro from Hattiesburg?

About 379 road miles (321 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 7 h 14 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 1 to 3 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 Arkansas 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 Jonesboro?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $540 to $760 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,360 to $2,000. 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–Jonesboro corridor.
