Does hurricane season affect a move in Jacksonville?
The Atlantic hurricane season runs from 1 June to 30 November, so a move booked in Jacksonville inside that window carries a rescheduling risk that a move outside it does not. We publish no figure for how often Jacksonville moves are rescheduled, because we hold no data on it.
How far is Jacksonville from the places people move to most?
Jacksonville to Miami, FL is 350 driving miles, about 5 hours behind the wheel, with a typical transit of 2 to 4 days.
Jacksonville to Atlanta, GA is 350 driving miles, about 5 hours behind the wheel, with a typical transit of 2 to 4 days.
Driving distances and transit windows from the routes dataset; transit days are carrier delivery spreads, not guarantees.

IRS county migration data for filing years 2022 to 2023 records 29,476 returns moving out of Duval County, the county Jacksonville sits in, and 31,608 moving in. A return approximates a household rather than a person. Those filings cover 51,572 individuals leaving and 52,484 arriving.
The counties receiving the most households from Duval County were Clay County (3,450 returns), St. Johns County (3,393 returns) and Nassau County (1,077 returns).
Arrivals came mainly from Clay County (2,884 returns), St. Johns County (2,618 returns) and Nassau County (815 returns).
These figures come from federal tax return data and cover all household moves, not only those using professional movers.
How many licensed moving companies are registered in Jacksonville?
The FMCSA motor carrier census lists 340 registrants carrying household goods whose physical address is in Jacksonville, and 125 of those are classified by FMCSA as interstate operations. That figure counts companies whose federal registration lists an address in Jacksonville. It is not the number of companies that will serve a move there: a mover registered in a neighbouring city can take the job, and a company registered in Jacksonville may not.
Moving crews quoting Jacksonville work Riverside, San Marco, Beaches, Downtown, Mandarin and the surrounding areas.
Who licenses movers operating in Jacksonville
Movers working inside Jacksonville are licensed by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, whose licence, lookup route and complaint channel are set out on the Florida page.
These companies have a documented headquarters or company location in Jacksonville or its metro. Placement is based on documented location information, not a numeric ranking.

Suddath was founded in Jacksonville, Florida in 1919 and now trades as The Suddath Companies, a group of separately registered operating businesses spanning household moving, commercial relocation, freight forwarding and logistics. The federal census returns dozens of registrants under the name, of which Suddath Moving & Storage LLC files the largest household goods fleet. Because no single registration covers the brand, this page publishes the group table instead of one number.
Why is this company shown here?
Suddath publishes its headquarters in Jacksonville, FL.
American Van Lines states first-party that it staffs moves with W2 employees rather than day labour. It requires a deposit to hold a move date, so ask what portion is refundable and by when before you pay it. We publish no BBB grade and hold no complaint dataset, so nothing here rates the company's service.
Why is this company shown here?
American Van Lines is headquartered elsewhere in FL. That does not by itself confirm an office in Jacksonville, and no service claim is made here.

Mayflower Transit is the second large UniGroup brand alongside United Van Lines and runs full-service interstate moves through an agent network under its own federal registration.
Why is this company shown here?
Mayflower Transit publishes broad nationwide moving service on its own site. It is shown separately from companies based in this area and its presence here is not evidence of a local office.
North American Van Lines is part of SIRVA and moves interstate household goods through an agent-affiliate network. The federal registration shown here belongs to the van line, not to the local agent that loads the truck.
Why is this company shown here?
North American Van Lines publishes broad nationwide moving service on its own site. It is shown separately from companies based in this area and its presence here is not evidence of a local office.
Which movers are federally registered in Jacksonville?
98 companies with a Jacksonville address on their federal registration hold a granted household goods authority from the FMCSA, and 50 of those identify as a moving business in their legal or trade name. The 30 listed below are the ones registered with the agency longest, ordered by the federal registration date, earliest first. Registration age is the agency's own record. It is not a ranking, it is not a quality judgement and it is not a recommendation.
466 active registrants in Jacksonville tick household goods among their cargo types on the census form, and 260 of those carry any authority row at all. The cargo tick box is filled in by the registrant, so this list uses the agency grant instead, then sets aside general freight, trucking, logistics and courier registrants that hold the authority without presenting themselves as household movers. It is not every mover serving Jacksonville: a company based elsewhere may serve the city, and a registered address is not a service area.

Data as of 2026-08-15 from the FMCSA company census, with authority status as of 2026-08-16. The query behind this list. Information provided by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.
Does a federal registration mean a Florida licence?
No. Federal registration and Florida authorisation are separate. The list above shows the federal record only, and we have not verified whether any company listed holds a Florida licence or permit.
A mover operating inside Florida needs the Household Moving Services Registration, issued as an Intrastate Mover (IM) number from the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.
Florida's household moving services search on csapp.fdacs.gov is a JavaScript form rather than a linkable record page: a consumer has to open the search, enter the company name or Intrastate Mover number by hand, and read the result on screen, because there is no direct URL for an individual Florida registration. Where the search returns nothing, confirm the registration with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services before booking.
When is the cheapest time to move in Jacksonville?
Peak demand across Florida runs October–April. Dates outside that window, and dates away from the last and first few days of any month, are where carriers have spare capacity — and spare capacity is what makes a crew negotiable on price.
We do not publish a percentage saving for moving off-peak in Jacksonville. We hold no month-by-month booking price data for this city, and a discount figure taken from a national average would not describe this market. What we can say is structural, and it holds in every market:
Mid-month beats month-end. Leases and closings cluster at the turn of the month, so that is when crews are fully booked and least flexible.
Mid-week beats the weekend. Saturday is the single most requested moving day; a Tuesday or Wednesday competes with far fewer households for the same trucks.
Off-peak beats October–April. Outside the peak window, carriers are trying to keep crews working rather than turning jobs away.
Flexibility is the lever, not the calendar alone. On an interstate move, giving the carrier a pickup window of several days rather than one fixed date is usually worth more than any single date choice, because it lets them combine your shipment with another on the same lane.
The only reliable way to price a specific date is to put the same date in front of several licensed carriers and compare written estimates. Ask each one what the same move costs two weeks earlier or later — the gap between those two numbers is your real off-peak saving in Jacksonville, measured on your move rather than on an average.
A tip is never part of a written estimate and never part of a binding price. It is discretionary, it is paid per mover rather than per crew, and it is handed to each mover directly at the end of the job rather than to the foreman to divide. Our working guideline scales with hours rather than with the value of the shipment, because that is how moving labour is actually priced:
$10 to $20 per mover for a job of two hours or less.
$20 to $40 per mover for a local move under four hours.
$40 to $60 per mover for a full day, meaning six hours or longer.
These are a BestMovers.info editorial guideline, not a survey result. We hold no tipping survey for Jacksonville and no federal record covers gratuities, so nothing here is a local figure. Read the full tipping guide for stairs, long carries, storage and interstate deliveries, where the crew that loads is not the crew that unloads.
Where can you get free moving boxes in Jacksonville?
Free boxes come from businesses that receive stock in cartons and throw the cartons away, and from households that finished moving last week. The sources are the same in every city, including Jacksonville:
Liquor stores, which have the sturdiest small boxes with dividers
Bookshops, for small boxes rated for weight
Grocery stores, for produce boxes
Offices, for paper boxes with lids
Appliance and furniture retailers, for large flat cartons
Buy Nothing groups and Facebook Marketplace
Craigslist free listings
The U-Haul box exchange
Anyone in your building who has moved in recently
Ask in the morning, when the overnight delivery has just been unpacked and the cartons have not yet been flattened. Skip anything damp, greasy or previously used for produce that leaked. The free boxes guide covers how many you need by home size — those counts are BestMovers.info planning estimates rather than measured figures — and which boxes are worth buying rather than scavenging.
There is no separate cost dataset for Jacksonville. Using the national estimate, a one-bedroom local move is estimated at $420–$930 and a two-bedroom local move at $630–$1,395, while a two-bedroom interstate move from Jacksonville is estimated at $3,000–$7,000. Final price depends on distance, packing services, and date.
When is the busiest moving season in Jacksonville?
Late May through August is the peak window in Jacksonville, with the heaviest volume around month-end weekends. Established companies commonly book out several weeks in advance during this period.
Should I get an in-home estimate or an online quote?
For local moves under 2,500 lb, an online or phone estimate is usually accurate. For interstate moves out of Jacksonville or 3+ bedroom households, request a video survey or in-home estimate so the binding price reflects your actual inventory.
What's the most reliable way to verify a Jacksonville mover?
Check the company's USDOT number on the FMCSA SAFER website, look at their BBB profile and current accreditation, and read recent reviews on Google and Yelp. Avoid any mover unwilling to share a USDOT number on request.
How long does a typical Jacksonville move take?
A 1-bedroom local move in Jacksonville usually takes 3–5 hours with two movers. A 3-bedroom local move runs 7–10 hours, and most movers won't book a same-day move past 4 PM start time.
How we evaluate Jacksonville movers: we verify federal registration and operating authority against FMCSA records, record carrier or broker classification, and note state licensing where the state regulator publishes it.
