About 923 road miles heading southeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $4,370–$6,490, delivery in 2–5 days, 534 carriers on the Memphis side and 271 in Port St. Lucie.
Moving from Memphis to Port St. Lucie is a long-distance move of roughly 923 road miles, heading southeast from Tennessee to 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 $4,370 to $6,490 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 16 h 37 min.
On the Memphis side there are 534 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (397 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.
Memphis has a population of about 609,647 and Port St. Lucie about 268,062. The two cities have comparable density (2,132 and 1,719 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.

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.
Yes. Crossing from Tennessee 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 $1,400 to $1,970 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,840 to $2,710. 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 Memphis–Port St. Lucie corridor.
