Port St. Lucie, FL → Burbank, CA · Cross-country move
About 2,702 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $8,810–$13,100, delivery in 7–14 days, 271 carriers on the Port St. Lucie side and 896 in Burbank.
Burbank sits about 2,702 miles west of Port St. Lucie, which makes this an interstate relocation from Florida to California that most movers classify as a cross-country 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 $8,810 to $13,100 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 7 to 14 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 47 hours (6 driving days).
On the Port St. Lucie side there are 271 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (104 of them authorized for interstate work), and 896 around Burbank (350 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 Burbank.
Port St. Lucie has a population of about 268,062 and Burbank about 102,988. Burbank is the denser city (6,204 people per square mile versus 1,719 in Port St. Lucie), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. California is a higher-cost state than Florida, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses. Note that California does collect a state income tax, unlike Florida, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

About 2,702 road miles (2,289 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 47 hours (6 driving days).
Expect a delivery window of 7 to 14 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 Florida into California 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 $3,830 to $5,400 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $3,430 to $5,050. 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 Port St. Lucie–Burbank corridor.
