Reverse: Hattiesburg → Wilmington

The route from Wilmington, DE to Hattiesburg, MS covers roughly 1,142 miles by road, a southwest-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 $4,750 to $7,070 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 20 h 23 min.

On the Wilmington side there are 315 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (214 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.

Wilmington has a population of about 71,000 and Hattiesburg about 48,000. Wilmington is considerably denser (6,507 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 Delaware, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Wilmington to Hattiesburg?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,900 to $2,830 for a studio, $2,850 to $4,240 for a one-bedroom, $4,750 to $7,070 for a two-bedroom, $7,600 to $11,310 for a three-bedroom and $10,450 to $15,550 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Hattiesburg from Wilmington?

About 1,142 road miles (968 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 20 h 23 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

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.

Does my mover need interstate authority for this move?

Yes. Crossing from Delaware 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.

Is it cheaper to rent a truck or use a container for Wilmington to Hattiesburg?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,620 to $2,290 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,040 to $3,000. 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.

When is the least expensive time to book this move?

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 Wilmington–Hattiesburg corridor.
