Jacksonville, FL → Port St. Lucie, FL · Regional long-distance move
About 265 road miles heading south. Typical two-bedroom cost $2,590–$3,850, delivery in 1–3 days, 745 carriers on the Jacksonville side and 271 in Port St. Lucie.
Moving from Jacksonville to Port St. Lucie is a regional long-distance move of roughly 265 road miles, heading south within Florida.
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 $2,590 to $3,850 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 3 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 5 h 16 min.
On the Jacksonville side there are 745 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (398 of them authorized for interstate work), and 271 around Port St. Lucie (104 interstate). For an in-state 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.
Jacksonville has a population of about 1 million and Port St. Lucie about 268,062. Port St. Lucie is the denser city (1,719 people per square mile versus 1,271 in Jacksonville), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

About 265 road miles (224 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 5 h 16 min.
Expect a delivery window of 1 to 3 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.
No. Because both Jacksonville and Port St. Lucie are in Florida, this is an intrastate move regulated by the state rather than the FMCSA. Still, choosing a carrier with an active USDOT number is the easiest way to confirm the company is a registered motor carrier with insurance on file.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $420 to $600 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,260 to $1,850. 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 Jacksonville–Port St. Lucie corridor.
