About 111 road miles heading northeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $1,790–$2,660, delivery in 1–2 days, 227 carriers on the New Orleans side and 50 in Hattiesburg.
Moving from New Orleans to Hattiesburg is a short-haul move of roughly 111 road miles, heading northeast from Louisiana to Mississippi.
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 37 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,790 and $2,660, before packing or storage.
On the New Orleans side there are 227 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (125 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.
New Orleans has a population of about 362,154 and Hattiesburg about 48,000. New Orleans is considerably denser (2,265 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.

About 111 road miles (94 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 2 h 37 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 $260 to $370 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,120 to $1,650. 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 New Orleans–Hattiesburg corridor.
