Richardson, TX → Hattiesburg, MS · Long-distance move
About 528 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $3,210–$4,780, delivery in 2–5 days, 1,078 carriers on the Richardson side and 50 in Hattiesburg.
Hattiesburg sits about 528 miles east of Richardson, 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 $3,210 to $4,780 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 9 h 48 min.
On the Richardson side there are 1,078 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (453 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.
Richardson has a population of about 118,542 and Hattiesburg about 48,000. Richardson is considerably denser (4,177 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. 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 528 road miles (447 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 9 h 48 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 $840 to $1,190 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,490 to $2,190. 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 Richardson–Hattiesburg corridor.
