Reverse: Princeton → Hattiesburg

Princeton sits about 1,215 miles northeast of Hattiesburg, which makes this an interstate relocation from Mississippi to New Jersey 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 $5,230 to $7,790 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 39 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 149 around Princeton (111 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 Princeton.

Hattiesburg has a population of about 48,000 and Princeton about 31,000. Princeton is the denser city (1,710 people per square mile versus 912 in Hattiesburg), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. New Jersey 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

Check whether a shuttle truck is needed in Princeton if a 53-foot trailer cannot reach your street.
Keep vehicle titles, passports and prescriptions with you; movers cannot carry some items at all.
Insist on a binding or binding-not-to-exceed estimate after an in-home or video survey.
Verify the carrier's USDOT and MC numbers on the FMCSA site before paying a deposit.

Frequently asked questions

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

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $2,090 to $3,110 for a studio, $3,140 to $4,670 for a one-bedroom, $5,230 to $7,790 for a two-bedroom, $8,370 to $12,460 for a three-bedroom and $11,510 to $17,130 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Princeton from Hattiesburg?

About 1,215 road miles (1,029 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 21 h 39 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

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.

Does my mover need interstate authority for this move?

Yes. Crossing from Mississippi into New Jersey 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 Princeton?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,700 to $2,400 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,100 to $3,090. 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–Princeton corridor.
