What a Tampa to West Palm Beach move looks like when one company handles the whole run.
The run from our Tampa yard to West Palm Beach is 200 miles, Florida’s Turnpike south, then across to I-95. 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.
Palm Beach and West Palm Beach are two separate municipalities joined by three bridges, and the island sets its own terms for work vehicles. A delivery to an El Cid address on the mainland and a delivery two miles away across the Royal Park Bridge are not the same job, and we do not quote them as though they were. The bridges also decide truck size before anything else does.
We scope inventory and access at the Tampa end and the West Palm Beach 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.
Distance
About 200 miles
Route
Florida's Turnpike south, then across to I-95
Drive time
about 3 hours 15 minutes
Origin
Tampa, Hillsborough County
Destination
West Palm Beach, Palm Beach County
The run is Florida's Turnpike south from Wildwood, past the western edge of Orlando, then across to I-95 for the last stretch into Palm Beach County. The Turnpike is tolled almost the whole way and billed by axle. The alternative, I-75 south and across Alligator Alley then north on I-95, is roughly forty miles longer, and we only take it when the Turnpike is closed.
Palm Beach Island
A separate town with its own rules for work vehicles, reached over three bridges that set the truck size before anything else does.
El Cid and Flamingo Park
Historic mainland neighbourhoods with narrow streets, short driveways and heavy tree cover.
Downtown and the waterfront district
Mid-rise condo with a loading dock that has to be booked, usually in timed blocks.
Northwood and Old Northwood
Older single-family with on-street loading and limited turning room for a full-size truck.
Wellington
Equestrian country west of the city, with long private drives and a season between January and April that changes everything.
Palm Beach Gardens, Jupiter and Singer Island
Gated coastal communities running guard clearance and fixed move-in windows.
Three stages, one company, from the Tampa address to the West Palm Beach address.
Tampa to West Palm Beach is an intrastate move, both ends inside Florida, so it falls under Chapter 507 of the Florida Statutes and FDACS registration rather than the federal interstate rules. One carrier, one crew, and a delivery date rather than a window. Moves that genuinely cross a state line 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 West Palm Beach move-in.

About 200 miles and just over three hours on Florida’s Turnpike. It loads and delivers in a single day for most households.
Yes. The island is a separate town from West Palm Beach with its own rules for work vehicles, reached over three bridges. We confirm the access and size the truck to the crossing before the day rather than after.
Florida’s Turnpike south then across to I-95. The Turnpike is tolled almost the entire way and billed by axle, so a loaded truck costs materially more than a car to run down it. It is priced in upfront.
Yes, and we schedule around it. Wellington runs on its own calendar between January and April, when traffic, access and availability all change west of the city.
October through April, when seasonal residents return to Palm Beach County. January to April is busier again around Wellington. Fixed dates in that stretch should be booked well ahead.
No. Both ends are inside Florida, making it intrastate under Chapter 507 of the Florida Statutes. Our USDOT 4219169 and MC 1766953 authority applies to moves that leave the state.
Let us know early. We can hold the load in our Tampa storage facility and redeliver once your Palm Beach County dates are confirmed.
