Rapid City, SD → Biloxi, MS · Long-distance move
About 1,444 road miles heading southeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $5,240–$7,790, delivery in 3–7 days, 23 carriers on the Rapid City side and 55 in Biloxi.
Moving from Rapid City to Biloxi is a long-distance move of roughly 1,444 road miles, heading southeast from South Dakota 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 $5,240 to $7,790 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 3 to 7 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 25 hours (3 driving days).
On the Rapid City side there are 23 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (17 of them authorized for interstate work), and 55 around Biloxi (42 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 Biloxi.
Rapid City has a population of about 80,000 and Biloxi about 50,000. The two cities have comparable density (1,357 and 1,152 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Note that Mississippi does collect a state income tax, unlike South Dakota, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

About 1,444 road miles (1,223 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 25 hours (3 driving days).
Expect a delivery window of 3 to 7 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 South Dakota 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 $2,080 to $2,940 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,310 to $3,400. 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 Rapid City–Biloxi corridor.
