Port St. Lucie, FL → Fairfax, VA · Long-distance move
About 967 road miles heading north. Typical two-bedroom cost $4,700–$6,990, delivery in 2–5 days, 271 carriers on the Port St. Lucie side and 534 in Fairfax.
Moving from Port St. Lucie to Fairfax is a long-distance move of roughly 967 road miles, heading north from Florida to Virginia.
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 $4,700 to $6,990 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 22 min.
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 534 around Fairfax (383 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 Fairfax.
Port St. Lucie has a population of about 268,062 and Fairfax about 25,000. Fairfax is the denser city (3,869 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. Note that Virginia does collect a state income tax, unlike Florida, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

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 Florida into Virginia 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 $1,440 to $2,040 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,880 to $2,770. 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–Fairfax corridor.
