Odessa, TX → Gulfport, MS · Long-distance move
About 933 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $4,140–$6,170, delivery in 2–5 days, 84 carriers on the Odessa side and 66 in Gulfport.
The route from Odessa, TX to Gulfport, MS covers roughly 933 miles by road, a east-bound trip that falls into the long-distance move category for pricing purposes.
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 $4,140 to $6,170 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 16 h 47 min.
On the Odessa side there are 84 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (42 of them authorized for interstate work), and 66 around Gulfport (51 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 Gulfport.
Odessa has a population of about 122,707 and Gulfport about 72,000. Odessa is considerably denser (2,239 people per square mile versus 1,311), 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 Texas, 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 Texas, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

About 933 road miles (791 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 16 h 47 min.
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 Texas 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 $1,410 to $1,990 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,850 to $2,720. 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 Odessa–Gulfport corridor.
