Manchester, NH → Jacksonville, FL · Long-distance move
About 1,227 road miles heading southwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $5,450–$8,100, delivery in 3–7 days, 57 carriers on the Manchester side and 745 in Jacksonville.
The route from Manchester, NH to Jacksonville, FL covers roughly 1,227 miles by road, a southwest-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 $5,450 to $8,100 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 51 min.
On the Manchester side there are 57 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (44 of them authorized for interstate work), and 745 around Jacksonville (398 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 Jacksonville.
Manchester has a population of about 116,818 and Jacksonville about 1 million. Manchester is considerably denser (3,494 people per square mile versus 1,271), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination.

About 1,227 road miles (1,040 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 21 h 51 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 New Hampshire 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 $2,420 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,120 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 Manchester–Jacksonville corridor.
