The route from Port St. Lucie, FL to Garden City, KS covers roughly 1,648 miles by road, a northwest-bound trip that falls into the cross-country move category for pricing purposes.
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 $5,940 to $8,840 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 5 to 10 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 29 hours (4 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 19 around Garden City (13 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 Garden City.
Port St. Lucie has a population of about 268,062 and Garden City about 28,000. Garden City is the denser city (2,557 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. Labor and living costs run lower in Kansas than in Florida, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home. Note that Kansas does collect a state income tax, unlike Florida, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

About 1,648 road miles (1,397 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 29 hours (4 driving days).
Expect a delivery window of 5 to 10 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 Kansas 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 $2,290 to $3,240 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,490 to $3,660. 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–Garden City corridor.
