Moving within Florida · intrastate
Miami to Orlando. Fort Lauderdale to Jacksonville. Hundreds of miles of real long-haul that happen to stay inside one state, which puts them under Florida’s own mover law instead of the federal one. Different rulebook, same discipline: a survey first, the price in writing, the registration number where you can check it.

Same carrier, different rulebook
In writingChapter 507 requires the estimate on paper before the move. 49 CFR 375 never applies to it
Interstate moves run under federal rules, 49 CFR part 375, explained across this site. A move that starts and ends in Florida never enters that regime. It runs under Florida Statutes Chapter 507, enforced by FDACS, and it requires a state registration a federal number doesn’t substitute for.
Fla. Mover Reg. No. IM3947
The state-side twin of looking us up on SAFER.
Ours is Fla. Mover Reg. No. IM3947, on the FDACS registry, checkable in two minutes, the state-side twin of looking us up on SAFER. And Chapter 507 carries its own version of the discipline this site keeps arguing for: the estimate goes in writing before the move. That’s not our house style being quoted back at you. It’s Florida law, and it’s the first thing to demand from any intrastate mover, us included.
Sorting it in ten seconds
An hourly local crew’s territory, and genuinely the cheaper tool: in the 2026 Miami market a local 2-bedroom job lands around $1,000 to $2,000 with one. Market numbers, not our price, and we don’t book these jobs.
Hire local and hourly. We’ll say the same on the phone.
Miami to Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville: hundreds of miles, a real linehaul, and a household that needs the same survey-first process as any interstate job. State rulebook, our registered fleet, the price in writing before loading.
The moment your move leaves Florida it’s federal territory, and the core of this whole business. The long-distance page walks that lane end to end: estimate types, valuation, fees, the works.
Across-town figures are 2026 Miami-market hourly-crew job totals, the same market data our calculator uses for its scope message. Not a rate of ours, and not a range we’ll book.
The number
No dollar band prints here, on purpose. Florida long-hauls aren’t in our calculator yet, and this site doesn’t publish numbers it can’t stand behind. What you get up front is the sequence.
Distance, home size, timing.
The state paperwork differs from the federal kind; the habit of counting before quoting doesn’t.
Straight answers
Both, and they're different documents. Interstate authority is federal: USDOT 4022357, MC 1517490, on FMCSA's SAFER system. Moving inside Florida runs under the state's own regime: Florida Statutes Chapter 507, administered by FDACS, where our registration is Fla. Mover Reg. No. IM3947. You can look that one up on the FDACS registry the same way you'd check SAFER, and you should, for any Florida mover.
No. A one-bedroom going twenty minutes up US-1 needs an hourly local crew. In the 2026 Miami market a local 2-bedroom job lands around $1,000 to $2,000 with one, which is a fraction of what putting a long-haul carrier on it would cost. Those are market numbers, not our price, and a dispatcher will tell you the same thing on the phone.
Survey first, then a written estimate. Chapter 507 requires the estimate in writing, and that's also simply how we work: the same walk-the-rooms video survey as our interstate lane, then the number on paper before anything is loaded. Expect range vocabulary from us until the survey has run; a Florida address doesn't make a sight-unseen exact number any less of a guess.
It's built for the interstate lanes, so a Florida-to-Florida long haul isn't in it yet. Call instead. A dispatcher walks the number with you, and the survey-then-writing sequence from there is identical to everything else on this site.
