Moving from Peoria to Fort Myers is a long-distance move of roughly 1,266 road miles, heading southeast from Illinois 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 $5,470 to $8,130 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 22 h 32 min.
On the Peoria side there are 42 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (29 of them authorized for interstate work), and 382 around Fort Myers (119 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 Myers.
Peoria has a population of about 110,920 and Fort Myers about 101,581. The two cities have comparable density (2,357 and 2,171 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.
