The route
A genuine long haul at 2,040 miles from Colorado to Florida. Almost all of these move as consolidated freight: your goods share a trailer and the carrier quotes 7 to 14 days rather than a date. It is why a two-bedroom home here runs $9,180 – $12,240 instead of scaling straight with distance, and also why there is more handling and a looser schedule.

How these figures are calculated
At the Miami end
For a local crew after delivery, the largest licensed carriers within 30 miles of Miami: Top 10 Van Lines Inc (Miami, 20 trucks), Alexis Moving & Delivery 2 Inc (Miami, 20 trucks), Solomon and Sons Relocation Services Inc (Dania Beach, 17 trucks), Honest Movers Moving and Storage Inc (Miami, 15 trucks).
Rules that apply to this move
Because the truck crosses from Colorado into Florida, 49 CFR Part 375 applies: a written estimate before loading, no more than 110% of a non-binding estimate collected at delivery, and full-value protection unless you choose released value in writing. See binding vs non-binding estimates and valuation explained.
Before you book Colorado Springs to Miami
Insist on a survey
Over 2,040 miles the price is driven almost entirely by weight. A quote given without a video or in-home survey is a guess that gets revised upward on loading day, and at this distance the revision is expensive.
Keep full-value protection
It is the default on an interstate move. Signing it away for released value means 60 cents per pound, about $18 for a 30 lb television, after 2,040 miles of handling.
Arriving in Miami
A local move inside Miami later — across town, out of temporary housing — is billed by the hour: about $455 – $733 for a two-bedroom home and $759 – $1,344 for three bedrooms. The nearest cities we cover from Miami are Hialeah (about 11 mi), Fort Lauderdale (about 28 mi), Port Saint Lucie (about 122 mi).
