“All-Roads Express really did make my move simple and easy! I'm so glad I called them.

What went wrong on this run: of 30 reviews, 40% mention damage and 17% a delay or a no-show. Reviewer-reported, counted by phrase.
Who makes this move
The two counts sit side by side as population flows.
Census flow both ways. ACS 2024 counts 6,040 people who moved from Florida to Connecticut, with a margin of plus or minus 2,007. In the other direction, 9,767 people moved from Connecticut to Florida in the same year. The two counts sit side by side as population flows.
Price levels and wage tax. BEA price parity for 2024 sets the US at 100. Florida reads 103.4 and Connecticut reads 103.6 on that index. Florida does not tax wages. Connecticut taxes wages. Hold those two tax facts next to the price parity figures and skip any rate.
What the job looks like
The file holds 30 reviews for this lane, a small sample.
The usual city pair. The most common run in our file is Tampa to Hartford, 1,239 miles, about 24 hours of driving. That driving time puts the shipment on the road for days. Delivery is still a window written on the order for service, not a clock time you pick at the curb.
How the price is built. Long-distance moves are priced by weight and miles, so a light load and a heavy one will not land on the same figure. Across 30 priced reviews the median reported price is $3,700, and the middle half runs from $2,130 to $5,160. Those prices mix home sizes and distances.
What the reviews flag. The file holds 30 reviews for this lane, a small sample. Of those reviews, 40% mention damage and 17% mention a delay or a no-show. Read those shares as a warning list, then check the paperwork before you treat them as a forecast.
Before you book
Get that ceiling in writing before the truck is loaded.
License and authority. An interstate household move needs a mover with an active USDOT number and FMCSA household-goods authority. Look the number up before you sign, using the license lookup. Haulest is not a carrier and does not haul the shipment.
Estimate type and the 110 percent rule. Ask for a binding estimate or a not-to-exceed estimate, and read the line items in a moving estimate. On a non-binding estimate the mover must deliver once you pay 110 percent of the estimate, as the 110 percent rule spells out. Get that ceiling in writing before the truck is loaded.
Window and deposit. Put the delivery window in writing on the order for service. Deposit terms belong on that same paperwork, and the deposit guide is worth reading before any money moves. A written window and a written deposit line are the last two checks.
