Memphis, TN → Rock Hill, SC · Long-distance move
About 597 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $3,440–$5,120, delivery in 2–5 days, 534 carriers on the Memphis side and 275 in Rock Hill.
Moving from Memphis to Rock Hill is a long-distance move of roughly 597 road miles, heading east from Tennessee to South Carolina.
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 $3,440 to $5,120 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 2 to 5 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 11 h.
On the Memphis side there are 534 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (397 of them authorized for interstate work), and 275 around Rock Hill (199 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 Rock Hill.
Memphis has a population of about 609,647 and Rock Hill about 76,000. The two cities have comparable density (2,132 and 1,678 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Note that South Carolina does collect a state income tax, unlike Tennessee, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

About 597 road miles (506 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 11 h.
Expect a delivery window of 2 to 5 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 Tennessee 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 $910 to $1,290 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,550 to $2,280. 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 Memphis–Rock Hill corridor.
