“I’m very happy with how the move went. Moving is a lot to deal with, so I really appreciated their help and the work they put in. I had a great experience with them and would gladly hire them again for another move. If you’re looking for movers, I highly recommend them.”

“Military family. This was our seventh move in fourteen years. When you have moved that many times you develop very strong opinions about what good looks like. Philip and the team set the standard for every move we have ever done leaving Jupiter, FL. Pre move communication thorough, quote detailed…”

“5 stars feels inadequate for a rating! Tovers, Patrick, and Kevin made my move absolutely seamless. They treated my furniture and boxes with care and made a potentially stressful day nearly care free. The company was up front about additional fees that can occur and kept to their word from the day…”
What went wrong on this run: of 45 reviews, 44% mention damage and 27% a delay or a no-show. Reviewer-reported, counted by phrase.
Who makes this move
The reverse flow is larger: 28,901 people moved from Virginia to Florida in the same year.
Census counts both ways. ACS 2024 counts 24,818 people who moved from Florida to Virginia, with a margin of plus or minus 3,909. The reverse flow is larger: 28,901 people moved from Virginia to Florida in the same year. Those figures count people who changed states, and they stop there.
Price parity and the wage tax. BEA price parity for 2024, with the US set at 100, puts Florida at 103.4 and Virginia at 101.1. Florida does not tax wages. Virginia taxes wages. No rate belongs on this page, only the fact that one state taxes wages and the other does not.
What the job looks like
44% mention damage, and 27% mention a delay or a no-show.
Miles, hours, and the window. The most common run in our file is Boynton Beach to Ashburn, 1,013 miles and about 19 hours of driving. Days on the road for the goods follow the delivery window set on the order for service. Long-distance moves are priced by weight and miles, so two homes on this lane can still price far apart.
Prices and what went wrong. The median reported price is $3,930 across 45 priced reviews, inside a file of 45 reviews. The middle half runs from $2,400 to $5,395, and those prices mix home sizes and distances. 44% mention damage, and 27% mention a delay or a no-show.
Before you book
On a non-binding estimate the mover must deliver on payment of 110 percent of the estimate.
USDOT and household-goods authority. Interstate household moves need a mover with an active USDOT number and FMCSA household-goods authority. Check the number in the license lookup before any deposit leaves your account. Haulest is not a carrier and will not be the name on that authority.
Binding, or the 110 percent cap. Prefer a binding or not-to-exceed estimate, and walk the lines with the estimate guide. On a non-binding estimate the mover must deliver on payment of 110 percent of the estimate. The 110 percent rule is the short version of that duty.
Write the window and the deposit. Put the delivery window in the order, in writing, before pickup day. Deposit terms should sit in that same paperwork, and the deposit guide is the checklist for what those terms should say. A written window is less romantic than a firm promise, and much easier to point at later.
