Murfreesboro, TN → Key West, FL · Long-distance move
About 976 road miles heading south. Typical two-bedroom cost $4,490–$6,690, delivery in 2–5 days, 282 carriers on the Murfreesboro side and 7 in Key West.
Key West sits about 976 miles south of Murfreesboro, which makes this an interstate relocation from Tennessee to Florida that most movers classify as a long-distance move.
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 $4,490 to $6,690 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 17 h 32 min.
On the Murfreesboro side there are 282 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (182 of them authorized for interstate work), and 7 around Key West (2 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 Key West.
Murfreesboro has a population of about 171,178 and Key West about 25,000. Key West is the denser city (4,723 people per square mile versus 2,429 in Murfreesboro), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

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 $1,450 to $2,050 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,890 to $2,780. 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 Murfreesboro–Key West corridor.
