Murfreesboro, TN → Hattiesburg, MS · Regional long-distance move
About 420 road miles heading southwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $2,830–$4,210, delivery in 1–3 days, 282 carriers on the Murfreesboro side and 50 in Hattiesburg.
Moving from Murfreesboro to Hattiesburg is a regional long-distance move of roughly 420 road miles, heading southwest from Tennessee to Mississippi.
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 $2,830 to $4,210 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 3 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 7 h 57 min.
On the Murfreesboro side there are 282 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (182 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.
Murfreesboro has a population of about 171,178 and Hattiesburg about 48,000. Murfreesboro is considerably denser (2,429 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. Note that Mississippi does collect a state income tax, unlike Tennessee, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

Expect a delivery window of 1 to 3 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 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 $580 to $820 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,390 to $2,050. 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 Murfreesboro–Hattiesburg corridor.
