Stamford, CT → Pembroke Pines, FL · Long-distance move
About 1,311 road miles heading southwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $5,770–$8,590, delivery in 3–7 days, 135 carriers on the Stamford side and 2,479 in Pembroke Pines.
Moving from Stamford to Pembroke Pines is a long-distance move of roughly 1,311 road miles, heading southwest from Connecticut 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 $5,770 to $8,590 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 23 h 18 min.
On the Stamford side there are 135 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (92 of them authorized for interstate work), and 2,479 around Pembroke Pines (829 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 Pembroke Pines.
Stamford has a population of about 139,535 and Pembroke Pines about 176,714. Pembroke Pines is the denser city (5,235 people per square mile versus 3,603 in Stamford), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Labor and living costs run lower in Florida than in Connecticut, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home. Florida levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

About 1,311 road miles (1,111 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 23 h 18 min.
Expect a delivery window of 3 to 7 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 Connecticut into Florida 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 $1,800 to $2,540 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,190 to $3,220. 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 Stamford–Pembroke Pines corridor.
