Long Distance Routes
Within Florida
An hourly quote is the crew rate multiplied by how long the job takes, so access is what really moves the number: a long carry, stairs without an elevator, a street the truck cannot park on, or packing left until the morning. We cover each of those, and the surcharges to watch for, in how much movers cost.
