Reverse: Malibu → Hattiesburg

Moving from Hattiesburg to Malibu is a cross-country move of roughly 2,026 road miles, heading west 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 $7,130 to $10,610 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 5 to 10 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 35 hours (4 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 7 around Malibu (2 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 Malibu.

Hattiesburg has a population of about 48,000 and Malibu about 10,000. Hattiesburg is considerably denser (912 people per square mile versus 537), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. California is a higher-cost state than Mississippi, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

Tips for this move

Confirm which items the mover will not carry (plants, perishables, propane, some batteries).
Expect a delivery spread of one to two weeks; plan temporary housing in Malibu accordingly.
Compare a full-service van line against a container service; for a small household the container often wins.
Ask about consolidated versus dedicated truck options—dedicated is faster but costs more.

Frequently asked questions

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

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $2,850 to $4,240 for a studio, $4,280 to $6,360 for a one-bedroom, $7,130 to $10,610 for a two-bedroom, $11,410 to $16,970 for a three-bedroom and $15,680 to $23,330 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Malibu from Hattiesburg?

About 2,026 road miles (1,717 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 35 hours (4 driving days).

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 5 to 10 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 Malibu?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $2,830 to $4,000 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,830 to $4,160. 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–Malibu corridor.
