What went wrong on this run: of 125 reviews, 31% mention damage and 22% a delay or a no-show. Reviewer-reported, counted by phrase.
Who makes this move
Neither state taxes wages, so the wage-tax line matches at both ends.
Census ACS 2024 counted 45,259 people who moved from Texas to Florida, with a margin of plus or minus 12,219. The other way, 52,219 people moved from Florida to Texas in the same survey year. Those two counts are what the survey shows. They do not say why anyone packed a truck.
Price parity sits on opposite sides of the national mark. BEA price parity for 2024 sets the United States at 100. Texas is 97.1 and Florida is 103.4. Neither state taxes wages, so the wage-tax line matches at both ends. That is a tax fact, not a reason the census counts look the way they do.
What the job looks like
31% of the reviews mention damage, and 22% mention a delay or a no-show.
Dallas to Miami is the most common run in our file. The distance is 1,308 miles and about 24 hours of driving, so the days on the road follow that driving time. A long-distance shipment is priced by weight and miles. The median reported price is $4,100 across 125 priced reviews.
Delivery is a window set on the order for service. Our file has 125 reviews for this run. The middle half of reported prices runs from $2,500 to $5,488, and those prices mix home sizes and distances. 31% of the reviews mention damage, and 22% 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.
Check the USDOT number and the household-goods authority. Interstate household moves need a mover with an active USDOT number and FMCSA household-goods authority. Use the license lookup to see both before you book. Haulest is not a carrier and does not haul the shipment. The mover named on the estimate should be the one with that authority.
Put the estimate type and the delivery window in writing. Ask whether the estimate is binding or not-to-exceed. On a non-binding estimate, the mover must deliver on payment of 110 percent of the estimate. Agree to the deposit terms before any money moves. Read the 110 percent rule and keep the delivery window on the order for service.
