Davenport, IA → Port St. Lucie, FL · Long-distance move
About 1,349 road miles heading southeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $5,350–$7,960, delivery in 3–7 days, 98 carriers on the Davenport side and 271 in Port St. Lucie.
The route from Davenport, IA to Port St. Lucie, FL covers roughly 1,349 miles by road, a southeast-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 $5,350 to $7,960 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 23 h 58 min.
On the Davenport side there are 98 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (78 of them authorized for interstate work), and 271 around Port St. Lucie (104 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 Port St. Lucie.
Davenport has a population of about 100,358 and Port St. Lucie about 268,062. The two cities have comparable density (1,594 and 1,719 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Florida is a higher-cost state than Iowa, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses. Florida levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

About 1,349 road miles (1,143 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 23 h 58 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 Iowa 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 $1,840 to $2,590 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,220 to $3,270. 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 Davenport–Port St. Lucie corridor.
