Wilmington, DE → Davie, FL · Long-distance move
About 1,159 road miles heading south. Typical two-bedroom cost $5,140–$7,650, delivery in 3–7 days, 315 carriers on the Wilmington side and 1,589 in Davie.
Davie sits about 1,159 miles south of Wilmington, which makes this an interstate relocation from Delaware to Florida that most movers classify as a long-distance 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 $5,140 to $7,650 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 20 h 41 min.
On the Wilmington side there are 315 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (214 of them authorized for interstate work), and 1,589 around Davie (600 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 Davie.
Wilmington has a population of about 71,000 and Davie about 110,851. Wilmington is considerably denser (6,507 people per square mile versus 3,028), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Florida levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

About 1,159 road miles (983 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 20 h 41 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 Delaware 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 $1,640 to $2,320 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,050 to $3,020. 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 Wilmington–Davie corridor.
