Jacksonville, NC → Myrtle Beach, SC · Short-haul move
About 130 road miles heading southwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $1,970–$2,920, delivery in 1–2 days, 59 carriers on the Jacksonville side and 148 in Myrtle Beach.
Myrtle Beach sits about 130 miles southwest of Jacksonville, which makes this an interstate relocation from North Carolina to South Carolina 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 57 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,970 and $2,920, before packing or storage.
On the Jacksonville side there are 59 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (31 of them authorized for interstate work), and 148 around Myrtle Beach (97 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 Myrtle Beach.
Jacksonville has a population of about 74,000 and Myrtle Beach about 39,000. The two cities have comparable density (1,490 and 1,524 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.

About 130 road miles (111 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 2 h 57 min.
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.
Yes. Crossing from North Carolina into South Carolina 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.
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.
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 Jacksonville–Myrtle Beach corridor.
