How long does a move from Florida to Wisconsin take?

Book ahead: 6 to 8 weeks, 8 to 12 in summer.
Do I need an interstate-licensed mover for Florida to Wisconsin?

Load a freight trailer yourself: about $3,199 – $4,265 for a two-bedroom home over 1,481 miles against $6,665 – $8,886 with full-service movers. A container, about $4,798 – $6,398, splits the difference and gives you days to load.
