Port St. Lucie, FL → Huntsville, AL · Long-distance move
About 747 road miles heading northwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $3,840–$5,710, delivery in 2–5 days, 271 carriers on the Port St. Lucie side and 204 in Huntsville.
Moving from Port St. Lucie to Huntsville is a long-distance move of roughly 747 road miles, heading northwest from Florida to Alabama.
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 $3,840 to $5,710 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 13 h 35 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 204 around Huntsville (104 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 Huntsville.
Port St. Lucie has a population of about 268,062 and Huntsville about 233,627. Port St. Lucie is considerably denser (1,719 people per square mile versus 986), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Labor and living costs run lower in Alabama than in Florida, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home. Note that Alabama does collect a state income tax, unlike Florida, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

About 747 road miles (633 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 13 h 35 min.
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 Alabama 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 $1,070 to $1,510 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,690 to $2,480. 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–Huntsville corridor.
