Reverse: Tallahassee → Akron

The route from Akron, OH to Tallahassee, FL covers roughly 885 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 $4,270 to $6,360 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 2 to 5 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 15 h 58 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 121 around Tallahassee (55 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 Tallahassee.

Akron has a population of about 189,691 and Tallahassee about 204,902. Akron is considerably denser (3,077 people per square mile versus 1,944), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Florida levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Akron to Tallahassee?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,710 to $2,540 for a studio, $2,560 to $3,810 for a one-bedroom, $4,270 to $6,360 for a two-bedroom, $6,840 to $10,170 for a three-bedroom and $9,400 to $13,980 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Tallahassee from Akron?

About 885 road miles (750 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 15 h 58 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 2 to 5 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.

Does my mover need interstate authority for this move?

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.

Is it cheaper to rent a truck or use a container for Akron to Tallahassee?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,210 to $1,710 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,810 to $2,660. 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.

When is the least expensive time to book this move?

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–Tallahassee corridor.
