Reverse: Monroe → Jackson

Monroe sits about 129 miles west of Jackson, which makes this an interstate relocation from Mississippi to Louisiana that most movers classify as a short-haul move.

Because the two cities are close together, most companies quote this move by the hour: a crew of two to four movers plus a truck, with the drive of about 2 h 55 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,850 and $2,750, before packing or storage.

On the Jackson side there are 173 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (113 of them authorized for interstate work), and 49 around Monroe (26 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 Monroe.

Jackson has a population of about 141,196 and Monroe about 46,000. The two cities have comparable density (1,376 and 1,604 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 Jackson to Monroe?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,110 to $1,660 for a studio, $1,110 to $1,660 for a one-bedroom, $1,850 to $2,750 for a two-bedroom, $2,960 to $4,400 for a three-bedroom and $4,070 to $6,050 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Monroe from Jackson?

About 129 road miles (110 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 2 h 55 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 1 to 2 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 Louisiana 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 Jackson to Monroe?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $280 to $400 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,140 to $1,670. 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 Jackson–Monroe corridor.
