Moving from Norfolk to Fort Lauderdale is a long-distance move of roughly 920 road miles, heading south from Virginia 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 $4,580 to $6,810 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 34 min.
On the Norfolk side there are 336 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (197 of them authorized for interstate work), and 1,841 around Fort Lauderdale (706 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 Fort Lauderdale.
Norfolk has a population of about 231,013 and Fort Lauderdale about 188,677. The two cities have comparable density (4,465 and 5,282 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Florida levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.
