San Diego, CA → Hattiesburg, MS · Cross-country move
About 1,921 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $6,950–$10,340, delivery in 5–10 days, 626 carriers on the San Diego side and 50 in Hattiesburg.
The route from San Diego, CA to Hattiesburg, MS covers roughly 1,921 miles by road, a east-bound trip that falls into the cross-country 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 $6,950 to $10,340 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 5 to 10 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 33 hours (4 driving days).
On the San Diego side there are 626 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (217 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.
San Diego has a population of about 1.4 million and Hattiesburg about 48,000. San Diego is considerably denser (4,256 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 California, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $2,780 to $4,140 for a studio, $4,170 to $6,210 for a one-bedroom, $6,950 to $10,340 for a two-bedroom, $11,120 to $16,550 for a three-bedroom and $15,290 to $22,750 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.
About 1,921 road miles (1,628 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 33 hours (4 driving days).
Expect a delivery window of 5 to 10 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 California 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 $2,720 to $3,850 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,730 to $4,020. 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 San Diego–Hattiesburg corridor.
