The route
A genuine long haul at 1,233 miles from Florida to Connecticut. 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 $5,549 – $7,398 instead of scaling straight with distance, and also why there is more handling and a looser schedule.

How these figures are calculated
At the New Haven end

Rules that apply to this move
Because the truck crosses from Florida into Connecticut, 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 Port Saint Lucie to New Haven
Insist on a survey
Over 1,233 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 1,233 miles of handling.

A local move inside New Haven later — across town, out of temporary housing — is billed by the hour: about $505 – $831 for a two-bedroom home and $849 – $1,533 for three bedrooms.
