Monroe, LA → Jackson, MS · Short-haul move
About 129 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $1,850–$2,750, delivery in 1–2 days, 49 carriers on the Monroe side and 173 in Jackson.
The route from Monroe, LA to Jackson, MS covers roughly 129 miles by road, a east-bound trip that falls into the short-haul move category for pricing purposes.
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 Monroe side there are 49 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (26 of them authorized for interstate work), and 173 around Jackson (113 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 Jackson.
Monroe has a population of about 46,000 and Jackson about 141,196. The two cities have comparable density (1,604 and 1,376 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.

About 129 road miles (110 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 2 h 55 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 Louisiana 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 $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 Monroe–Jackson corridor.
