Full-service moving costs from Baltimore, MD to Jackson, MS

Full-service movers for the 1,015-mile relocation from Baltimore, Maryland, to Jackson, Mississippi, cost between $1,886 and $7,318. With a long-distance moving company, loading, transportation, and unloading are all taken care of. If you want to skip packing boxes, too, that can be added for $259 - $1,724, depending on your home size. What you pay in the end is mainly a function of how much your shipment weighs and how far it's traveling. As a point of reference, local movers in Baltimore typically charge a base rate around $263 plus $110 per hour, per mover.

Here's a breakdown of full-service moving costs by home size from Baltimore to Jackson:

What are the best full-service movers from Baltimore to Jackson?

  1. Safeway Moving (4.9/5 stars): Safeway Moving is our pick for best overall value. Flat-rate pricing, 24/7 support, and 30 days of free storage make Safeway the clearest value on this list.
  2. American Van Lines (4.9/5 stars): American Van Lines is the most experienced mover on this list. AVL has been moving customers since 1995 and uses full-time in-house crews trained on high-value items like art and antiques.
  3. Allied Van Lines (4.2/5 stars): Allied Van Lines is best for contents coverage. One of the largest van line networks in North America, Allied offers fragile-only packing, 24/7 monitoring, and an optional full-value protection plan against damage, loss, and breakage.

Good to know: For moves over 500 miles, national van lines are the smarter financial choice over local movers in Baltimore, MD. Local companies can run 30% - 40% more at that range since they don't consolidate shipments the way interstate carriers do. If a direct, dedicated route with an average 2-day delivery appeals to you, a local mover could be worth it, but that convenience comes at a cost.

Moving container costs from Baltimore, MD to Jackson, MS

Moving containers from Baltimore, Maryland, to Jackson, Mississippi, cost between $1,117 and $4,039. You load everything on your own schedule (U-Haul gives you 3 days and PODS gives you 30). When you're ready, the company takes care of getting the container from point A to point B. Need more time than that? Extra storage in Baltimore typically runs around $100/month.

Take a look at moving container pricing by home size from Baltimore to Jackson:

  • Studio apartment / 1 bedroom: $1,117 - $2,058
  • 2 - 3 bedrooms: $1,558 - $2,861
  • 4+ bedrooms: $1,980 - $4,039

What other costs come with moving containers?

  • Moving labor: Because loading is on you with a container move, hourly labor help is a popular add-on. In Baltimore, MD, two movers for roughly five hours costs around $603, according to moveBuddha data. Compare the best labor-only movers nationwide
  • Storage: After the first month, ongoing rental fees kick in. A small container (7 - 8 feet) averages about $65 per month, while a 12- to 16-foot unit runs around $129 per month.
  • Access: Most major container companies serve both Baltimore, MD, and Jackson, MS, but confirm a facility is within reasonable distance if you need to retrieve items while in storage.
  • Added contents protection: Full-value protection provides broader coverage than the standard liability in your contract. It typically costs 1% - 2% of your declared shipment value, about $500 - $1,000 on $50,000 worth of belongings.

Every price below reflects an actual quote from a moveBuddha reader planning a Maryland to Mississippi move in the past 90 days. Our pricing data is drawn from 1,500+ monthly data points across our vetted mover network and refreshed every month.

Pro tip: Before ordering moving containers, take a careful inventory of everything you're moving. A typical 1-bedroom home weighs around 3,000 pounds and fits in a single container starting at $1,117. Underestimating how much you have and needing an extra container means paying for another one, so getting your count right upfront saves you from a costly surprise. For reference, a 2 - 3 bedroom home typically runs $1,558 - $2,861.

  • 2 - 3 bedrooms: $679 - $1,552

Pro tip: The advertised base rate of $695 - $1,835 does not include fuel ($278 - $318), lodging ($129/night for overnight stops), meals, or equipment rentals.

Freight trailer costs from Baltimore, MD to Jackson, MS

If you're moving a larger household from Baltimore, Maryland, and want to stay in control of the loading process, freight trailers offer a practical middle ground between hiring movers and renting a truck yourself. A 28-foot trailer is delivered to your door, you load what you need, and the carrier handles the drive to Jackson, Mississippi.

Freight trailers are priced by the linear feet your belongings take up, so you only pay for the space you use. A 2 - 3 bedroom move on this route typically falls between $1,234 and $2,336.

Take a look at freight trailer costs based on home size for moves from Baltimore to Jackson:

  • Studio apartment / 1 bedroom: $1,037 - $1,929
  • 2 - 3 bedrooms: $1,234 - $2,336
  • 4+ bedrooms: $1,697 - $3,199

Pro tip: A 4-foot ramp sounds simple, but heavy or awkward furniture can make the climb tricky. With 8 feet of height to work with, smart vertical stacking is key. Since freight companies charge by the linear foot, every extra foot you use adds to the bill.

What other costs come with freight trailers?

  • Seasonal demand: Pricing tends to rise during peak moving season, particularly between mid-May and mid-September.
  • Moving labor: Most customers hire loading help since freight is self-loaded. Two movers in Baltimore, Maryland, for roughly 5 hours typically costs $603.
  • More space: Freight companies bill by linear footage. If your belongings take up more room than anticipated, the extra space adds between $65 and $129 per foot.

What are the best freight companies from Baltimore to Jackson?

  1. MovingYourself (5/5 stars): MovingYourself is best for large moves. Primarily known as a top moving container option for its DIY hybrid model where customers load and the company drives, MovingYourself also functions as a strong freight option thanks to its 53-foot trucks and pay-only-for-the-space-you-use pricing.
  2. U-Pack (5/5 stars): U-Pack is the best value freight trailer on this list. Best known for its container service, U-Pack also runs a top-notch freight trailer operation with the same no-deposit, pay-by-the-foot approach that keeps overall costs lower than most freight competitors.

Pro tip: One of the biggest advantages of freight trailers is speed. For an interstate move, freight delivery is one of the fastest options you have short of driving a rental truck yourself. It's a smart choice when your timeline is firm and you'll be ready to receive your shipment. If there's any chance your new place won't be ready or you need a few weeks of storage, a moving container with built-in storage may serve you better.

FAQs: Moving from Baltimore, MD, to Jackson, MS

How long does a move from Baltimore, MD to Jackson, MS take?

Full-service movers and container companies typically complete this route in 2 to 8 days, since carriers consolidate shipments heading the same direction. Freight trailers are often one of the faster options outside of driving yourself, though you'll need to be ready to receive your shipment on arrival. Driving a rental truck yourself puts the schedule entirely in your hands.

What extra costs come with a truck rental on this route?

The base rate only covers the vehicle. Expect to add fuel ($278 - $318), daily insurance ($26/day), and equipment rentals ($6 - $17) on top. Overnight stops can add another $129/night for lodging if your drive spans more than a day.

What is the cheapest way to move from Baltimore, MD to Jackson, MS?

Renting a moving truck is almost always the most affordable option, since you handle the loading, driving, and unloading yourself. A 2-bedroom rental truck move on this route averages $679 - $1,552. See our cheapest truck rental recommendations for the lowest available rates on your DIY move.

How much does it cost to move from Baltimore, MD to Jackson, MS?

Costs on this route range from around $695 to $7,318, depending on your home size and which service you choose. Full-service movers typically fall between $1,886 and $7,318, while DIY options like rental trucks and containers come in lower. Moving during peak season (May - September) tends to push prices higher across the board.

What size moving truck do I need for this route?

Rental trucks generally range from 10 to 26 feet. A 15- to 17-foot truck covers most 2-bedroom moves, while a smaller 10- to 12-foot truck works for a studio or 1-bedroom. Homes with 4 or more bedrooms usually need a 20- to 26-foot truck, and anything that size typically runs on diesel rather than gas.

About 38% of movers in Baltimore handle piano moves, and 31% handle antiques and fine art, compared to 40% and 26% nationally.
