What went wrong on this run: of 49 reviews, 45% mention damage and 27% a delay or a no-show. Reviewer-reported, counted by phrase.
Who makes this move
Those two figures are household mobility counts, not a reason anyone packed a truck.
Census flow both ways. ACS 2024 counts 9,255 people who moved from Arizona to Florida, with a margin of plus or minus 2,344. The reverse count is 6,929 people who moved from Florida to Arizona. Those two figures are household mobility counts, not a reason anyone packed a truck.
Price level and wage tax. BEA regional price parity for 2024 uses 100 as the US mark. Arizona reads 100.7 and Florida reads 103.4. Arizona taxes wages. Florida does not tax wages. The two states differ on both the price index and whether wages are taxed, and that is all these figures show.
What the job looks like
The most common trip in our file is Phoenix to Miami, 2,360 miles, about 41 hours of driving.
The usual run. The most common trip in our file is Phoenix to Miami, 2,360 miles, about 41 hours of driving. That is the road time for this pair, not a promise about how many calendar days a truck takes once it is loaded. Long-distance pricing follows weight and miles.
What the reviews report. Across 49 reviews, the median reported price is $5,000, based on 49 priced reviews. The middle half of those prices runs from $3,200 to $7,900, and the mix includes different home sizes and distances. 45% of the reviews mention damage. 27% mention a delay or a no-show.
Delivery is a window. On a long-distance move, the price is set from weight and miles, and the delivery date is a window written on the order for service, not a single clock time. If the estimate is non-binding, the mover must deliver on payment of 110 percent of the estimate. Read the 110 percent rule before you treat a quote as the final bill.
Before you book
An interstate household move needs a mover with an active USDOT number and FMCSA household-goods authority.
License and authority. An interstate household move needs a mover with an active USDOT number and FMCSA household-goods authority. Look the number up in the license lookup before you pay anyone. Haulest is a desk for the numbers, not a carrier, so the authority has to sit with the company that loads the truck.
Get the estimate type in writing. Ask whether the quote is binding or not-to-exceed, and read it with the estimate guide. On a non-binding estimate, the mover must deliver on payment of 110 percent of the estimate. A lower figure on a sales call does not change that rule.
Window and deposit. The delivery date on this run is a window set on the order for service, so get that window in writing before the truck leaves Phoenix. Deposit terms belong on the same paperwork, where you can read the amount and the conditions. Check the deposit guide before you send money.

Ask out loud
Questions people ask
- How many people moved from Arizona to Florida?
- ACS 2024 counts 9,255 people who moved from Arizona to Florida, with a margin of plus or minus 2,344. The reverse flow is 6,929 people who moved from Florida to Arizona. The counts show the size of the move, not why anyone left.
- How far is the most common trip in your file?
- The most common run is Phoenix to Miami, 2,360 miles, about 41 hours of driving. That figure is road time. It is not a count of calendar days a loaded truck will take.
- What do the reviews say about price?
- The median reported price is $5,000 across 49 priced reviews, out of 49 reviews in the file. The middle half of prices runs from $3,200 to $7,900. Those prices mix home sizes and distances, so the median is not a quote for your shipment.
- How often do reviews mention damage or a delay?
- 45% of the reviews mention damage. 27% mention a delay or a no-show. Both shares come from the same set of 49 reviews.
- What should I check before I book?
- Confirm an active USDOT number and FMCSA household-goods authority. Ask for a binding or not-to-exceed estimate, get the delivery window in writing, and read the deposit terms before you pay. On a non-binding estimate, the mover must deliver on payment of 110 percent of the estimate.
