Dedicated truck
Tighter delivery control
Your shipment travels without other households sharing the truck. It usually costs more, but can support a specific or narrower delivery commitment.

Planning ranges, not quotes. Your inventory, access, dates, service level, and the carrier's written estimate determine the real number.
What to know about this route
Tampa and the Gulf Coast get slightly fewer direct trucks than Miami, so small shipments may transfer in Orlando — ask whether your quote is a direct run. Prices dip noticeably in late summer and fall.
Getting a real quote
Long-distance pricing is set by inventory (what's actually on the truck), not square footage — so a real quote requires a video or in-home survey. Any mover who gives you a firm number in a five-minute phone call is giving you a number that will change. Ask the mover who would transport the shipment to survey the inventory and put the estimate type and price in writing. For interstate moves, request the USDOT number and verify the carrier's authority and insurance with FMCSA before booking.
Dedicated or consolidated?
Consolidated load
Lower price, wider window
Several shipments share capacity. This can reduce cost, especially for smaller moves, but pickup and delivery spreads are normally wider.
Put the choice in writing. Ask which model the quote assumes, whether transfers or warehouse handling are expected, and what delivery commitment appears in the carrier's contract.
Carrier verification checkpoint
NYC Moving Pros does not transport household goods or issue the carrier's estimate. Before booking, identify the company that will take possession of the shipment and verify its federal record.
