Manchester, NH → Hattiesburg, MS · Long-distance move
About 1,496 road miles heading southwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $5,740–$8,530, delivery in 3–7 days, 57 carriers on the Manchester side and 50 in Hattiesburg.
Hattiesburg sits about 1,496 miles southwest of Manchester, which makes this an interstate relocation from New Hampshire to Mississippi 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 $5,740 to $8,530 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 26 hours (3 driving days).
On the Manchester side there are 57 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (44 of them authorized for interstate work), and 50 around Hattiesburg (36 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 Hattiesburg.
Manchester has a population of about 116,818 and Hattiesburg about 48,000. Manchester is considerably denser (3,494 people per square mile versus 912), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Labor and living costs run lower in Mississippi than in New Hampshire, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home. Note that Mississippi does collect a state income tax, unlike New Hampshire, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

About 1,496 road miles (1,268 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 26 hours (3 driving days).
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.
Yes. Crossing from New Hampshire into Mississippi 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 $2,140 to $3,020 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,360 to $3,460. 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 Manchester–Hattiesburg corridor.
