Plano, TX → Gulfport, MS · Long-distance move
About 574 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $3,320–$4,930, delivery in 2–5 days, 1,562 carriers on the Plano side and 66 in Gulfport.
Gulfport sits about 574 miles east of Plano, which makes this an interstate relocation from Texas to Mississippi that most movers classify as a long-distance move.
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 $3,320 to $4,930 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 10 h 36 min.
On the Plano side there are 1,562 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (674 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.
Plano has a population of about 293,028 and Gulfport about 72,000. Plano is considerably denser (3,982 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 574 road miles (486 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 10 h 36 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 $890 to $1,260 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,530 to $2,250. 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 Plano–Gulfport corridor.
