Akron, OH → Davie, FL · Long-distance move
About 1,226 road miles heading south. Typical two-bedroom cost $5,110–$7,600, delivery in 3–7 days, 349 carriers on the Akron side and 1,589 in Davie.
The route from Akron, OH to Davie, FL covers roughly 1,226 miles by road, a south-bound trip that falls into the long-distance move category for pricing purposes.
At this distance carriers price by shipment weight and mileage rather than by the hour. A two-bedroom home (around 5,000 lb of goods) typically costs $5,110 to $7,600 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 3 to 7 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 21 h 50 min.
On the Akron side there are 349 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (215 of them authorized for interstate work), and 1,589 around Davie (600 interstate). For an interstate move you can book from either end; movers near the origin handle loading and are usually the better first call, while a destination-side company can be useful if you need storage or delivery-day help in Davie.
Akron has a population of about 189,691 and Davie about 110,851. The two cities have comparable density (3,077 and 3,028 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Florida levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

About 1,226 road miles (1,039 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 21 h 50 min.
Expect a delivery window of 3 to 7 days after pickup. Carriers give a spread rather than a fixed date because long-distance trucks carry several shipments; a dedicated truck or expedited service shortens the window for an extra fee.
Yes. Crossing from Ohio into Florida makes this an interstate move, so the carrier must hold active FMCSA operating authority (an MC number) in addition to its USDOT number. The company cards on this page flag which carriers are authorized for interstate work.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,710 to $2,410 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,110 to $3,110. Both save money versus a full-service crew but you do the loading, and container transit can take longer than a mover's delivery window.
Rates are highest in summer and around the last days of any month, when demand peaks. Mid-month, mid-week and winter dates are usually quoted below the standard rate. Booking four to eight weeks ahead gives you the widest choice of carriers on the Akron–Davie corridor.
