Rockville, MD → Hattiesburg, MS · Long-distance move
About 1,027 road miles heading southwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $4,640–$6,910, delivery in 3–7 days, 526 carriers on the Rockville side and 50 in Hattiesburg.
Moving from Rockville to Hattiesburg is a long-distance move of roughly 1,027 road miles, heading southwest from Maryland 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 $4,640 to $6,910 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 18 h 24 min.
On the Rockville side there are 526 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (327 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.
Rockville has a population of about 68,000 and Hattiesburg about 48,000. Rockville is considerably denser (4,947 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 Maryland, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.

About 1,027 road miles (871 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 18 h 24 min.
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 Maryland 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 $1,510 to $2,120 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,940 to $2,850. 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 Rockville–Hattiesburg corridor.
