“The team was great, handled my stuff carefully and was pleasant to hang out with all day!”
Alana B.
I’m Danny Ferrer, owner of Preferred Moving Company. Long hauls out of Miami mostly run one direction — north. I-95 carries the snowbird corridor up the coast, the Turnpike and I-75 feed the drives to Orlando and Tampa, and US-1 links the whole metro to the on-ramps. Wilkens Joseph leads our long-haul crews and stays with your load from the Miami curb to the new doorway, no swaps in between.
How the total comes together
My crew’s hours loading and unloading bill at our two standard rates. Distance and the size of household you’re relocating set the flat figure, and Yesenia puts it in writing at your Miami curb before the truck ever pulls out. Wilkens loads the trailer so the entire trip moves as one push instead of a scramble at both ends.
| Crew | Rate at each end | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 2 movers + truck | $155/hr | Condos and smaller households |
| 3 movers + truck | $205/hr | Larger homes, quicker load times |
The corridors we drive out of Miami
These are the runs we make most from South Florida. After we’ve gone over your inventory and access, your written flat quote lands inside one of these bands:
| Route from Miami | Distance | Flat-rate range |
|---|---|---|
| Miami to Orlando, FL | ~235 mi | $2,300 – $3,050 |
| Miami to Tampa, FL | ~280 mi | $2,550 – $3,400 |
| Miami to Jacksonville, FL | ~345 mi | $2,950 – $3,900 |
| Miami to Atlanta, GA | ~660 mi | $4,600 – $6,100 |
| Miami to New York, NY (snowbird corridor) | ~1,280 mi | $7,900 – $10,400 |
Se habla espanol on every leg. That I-95 snowbird run to the Northeast isn’t a line on a rate sheet — we make it every season with our own trucks. Coverage opens at $0.60/lb released-value, steps up to full-value, and we document as much as $1,000,000 in cargo coverage per shipment for the length of the drive.
One crew, Miami curb to your new door
The movers who load your trailer in Miami are the same ones who set your furniture down up north. Nobody hands your shipment to an outside driver at a terminal along I-95. Wilkens keeps that one crew tied to your load the entire way, and that unbroken chain is what keeps a dining set in one piece over 1,200 miles. Here’s what that guarantees on the road:
- No terminal transfer and no stranger driving your belongings north
- A signed flat total in hand before the trailer pulls off your curb
- Released-value coverage from $0.60/lb, upgradable to full-value protection
- Documented cargo coverage as high as $1,000,000 per shipment, start to finish
Timed to your closing and the tropics
Closings rarely land on a tidy weekday, so a Saturday departure costs the same as any other day. And because these routes leave during hurricane season, a named-storm threat earns a call from Wilkens to adjust the date rather than gamble a loaded trailer. Get a ballpark from the moving calculator. Want it crated first? Hand that part to our full-service packing crew. Closings a few days apart? Short-term storage spans the gap, and the home page covers the rest.
