Mobile Home Moving & Transport in Hattiesburg, MS
A mobile home move is the whole job on this site. We pull the home off its piers, get it road-ready, tow it with a licensed toter, and set it back down on your land. Most calls we get in Hattiesburg start the same way: someone bought a home on a lot, or has to get a home off land that is no longer theirs, and needs it moved and set up right.
Hattiesburg Mobile Home Movers is a licensed Mississippi transporter working Forrest County and the Pine Belt. We move single-wides and double-wides, handle the MDOT permit, run the escort cars, and reset the home to state and HUD standards on the far end. You get one crew for the move and the set-up, and a written price before the truck rolls.
Getting the Home Road-Ready
A home does not just hook up and go. We disconnect the power, water, and sewer, pull the skirting, and cut loose the old tie-downs and anchors. We jack the home up off its piers or blocks, fit axles, wheels, and a hitch, and tie the frame to the toter. Old homes get checked at the frame and the hitch points first, because a tired frame is the one thing that turns a move into a problem on the road.
Single-Wide and Double-Wide
A single-wide is one box on one trip. A double-wide or multi-section home splits at the marriage line, and each half tows on its own trip. On the new lot we line the halves back up, re-mate them along the ridge beam, cap the roof, and seal the seam so the home is one weathertight structure again. The trip count is the biggest single driver of the price.
The Route Survey and the Permit
Before the home moves, we drive the route. We check bridge heights, low wires, tight turns, and road weight limits along the Pine Belt roads the load has to take. A wide load then needs an MDOT oversize permit and escort cars, and we handle both. That permit and routing work is not paperwork you should have to fight through yourself. We do it as part of the move.
Reset and Set-Up on the New Site
A move is only done when the home sits level and anchored on the new land. We build the pier foundation, level and shim the home, and tie it down with ground anchors to Wind Zone II standards, because south Mississippi takes hurricane wind far inland. Then we connect the utilities and hang the steps. The set-up and installation is where the home stops being a load and becomes a house again.
What a Move Costs
A local single-wide move runs $3,000 to $6,000. A long single-wide haul runs $6,000 to $10,000. A double-wide or multi-section move runs $8,000 to $15,000. Distance, road access, the permit, escort cars, and the set-up all move the figure. Every move gets a free written quote before the work starts.

How much does it cost to move a mobile home near Hattiesburg?
A local single-wide move usually runs $3,000 to $6,000. A longer haul on a single-wide runs $6,000 to $10,000. A double-wide or multi-section home runs $8,000 to $15,000 because each half tows on its own trip and the home is re-mated on site. Distance, road access, permits, and set-up all move the number. You get a written quote before any work starts.
Do you move the home in one piece?
A single-wide moves in one piece on one trip. A double-wide or multi-section home splits at the marriage line. Each half tows separately, so a double-wide is two or more trips. We re-mate the halves on the new site, seal the seam, and set the ridge beam and roof cap.
What is a route survey and why does it matter?
A route survey is a drive of the exact path before the move. We check low bridges, low wires, tight turns, and road weight limits. Pine Belt back roads and timber routes are not all built for a wide load. The survey finds the problem before the home is on the road, not during the haul.
Do I need a permit to move a mobile home in Mississippi?
Yes. An oversize or over-width transport permit comes from the Mississippi Department of Transportation. A wide load needs the MDOT permit plus escort cars. We pull the permit and set the escorts as part of the move. You do not chase the paperwork yourself.
Can you move an older home, or only a new one?
We move both. Older homes need a closer look first. We check the frame, the hitch points, and the floor before the jack goes under. Some very old or storm-damaged homes are not worth moving, and we tell you that plainly before you spend money hauling one.
How far ahead should I call?
Call as early as you can. A move needs a route survey, an MDOT permit, escort cars, and a ready site on the far end. When a park is closing or an eviction has a date, tell us the deadline first. We work the schedule backward from the day the home has to be off the old lot.
