Port St. Lucie, FL → Gulfport, MS · Long-distance move
About 670 road miles heading northwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $3,610–$5,380, delivery in 2–5 days, 271 carriers on the Port St. Lucie side and 66 in Gulfport.
The route from Port St. Lucie, FL to Gulfport, MS covers roughly 670 miles by road, a northwest-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 $3,610 to $5,380 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 12 h 15 min.
On the Port St. Lucie side there are 271 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (104 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.
Port St. Lucie has a population of about 268,062 and Gulfport about 72,000. Port St. Lucie is considerably denser (1,719 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 Florida, 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 Florida, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

About 670 road miles (568 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 12 h 15 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 Florida 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 $990 to $1,400 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,620 to $2,380. 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 Port St. Lucie–Gulfport corridor.
