What a Tampa to Jacksonville move looks like when one company handles the whole run.
The run from our Tampa yard to Jacksonville is 200 miles, I-75 north to I-10 east. Your load goes on one truck and comes off that same truck, so nothing is handed to a partner carrier at a terminal along the way.
A good share of Jacksonville deliveries are not downtown. They are Ponte Vedra, Neptune Beach and the barrier island addresses, where the street is narrow, the driveway is soft sand and a full-size trailer cannot get close. We check access at the delivery end before we choose the truck, so the crew is not shuttling your furniture two hundred feet by hand.
We scope inventory and access at the Tampa end and the Jacksonville end before you commit, so the figure agreed in Tampa is the figure at delivery. See our long distance moving service for how the wider service works.

Also on this route
Ponte Vedra Beach and the beaches communities are covered on this run.
The usual run is I-75 north to Ocala and then I-10 east into Jacksonville, with no tolls on either. US-301 is the shorter line on a map and we take it when the delivery is on the south or west side of the city, though it runs through a series of small towns with lower limits and less room for a loaded truck. Which route we use depends on where in Duval County the address is, and that is settled at the quote stage rather than on the morning.
Riverside and Avondale
Historic homes with on-street loading only and very little driveway depth. Truck size is the deciding factor here.
San Marco and St. Nicholas
Nineteen-twenties single-family with detached garages and tight rear alleys.
Ortega and Ortega Forest
Riverfront with long driveways under mature oaks, so overhead clearance gets checked first.
Mandarin and Julington Creek
Suburban southside with wide streets and easy truck access throughout.
Atlantic Beach and Neptune Beach
Barrier island streets with soft sand shoulders and enforced parking restrictions near the ocean.
Ponte Vedra Beach and Nocatee
Gated coastal communities running guard clearance and fixed move-in windows.
Three stages, one company, from the Tampa address to the Jacksonville address.
Tampa to Jacksonville keeps both ends inside Florida, which makes it an intrastate move under Chapter 507 of the Florida Statutes and FDACS registration, not the federal interstate framework. It is a two hundred mile run and still a single-carrier, single-date job rather than something routed through a terminal. Where a move genuinely does cross a state line we operate under USDOT 4219169 and MC 1766953.
Volume
How much is actually travelling, which on a second-home or partial move is often far less than the whole house.
Access at both ends
Stairs, elevators, long carries from a parking area and whether a full-size truck can get to the door.
Packing
Whether you pack yourself or we pack for you, and how much fragile or oversized material is involved.
Specialty items
Pianos, safes, gun safes, oversized glass and anything needing a crate or extra hands.
Timing
Peak season, month end and weekend dates carry different availability from a midweek move.
Storage
Whether there is a gap between your Tampa move-out and your Jacksonville move-in.

About 200 miles, roughly three hours and ten minutes via I-75 north and I-10 east. That is a same-day load and delivery for most households.
We check the approach before we assign a truck. Where a full-size trailer will not fit, we size down or shuttle rather than leaving your things at the end of the street.
Yes. Ponte Vedra Beach is part of this route and is quoted the same way as a Jacksonville delivery.
We can hold the load in our Tampa storage facility and redeliver once the property is ready, rather than you paying for a second full move.
No. Both ends are inside Florida, so it is intrastate under Chapter 507 of the Florida Statutes. Our USDOT 4219169 and MC 1766953 authority covers moves that leave the state.
It depends on the delivery address. I-10 suits most of the city, while US-301 is shorter for southside and westside addresses. We decide at the quote stage.
Yes. Those streets have soft sand shoulders and parking restrictions close to the ocean, so we check the approach and size the truck rather than assuming a full trailer will fit.
