Washington is the heart of the snowbird corridor in reverse — the move north up the same I-95 that brings seasonal residents down to the Palm Beaches every winter. It is one of our most-run long-haul routes, and we carry it entirely in-house: our crew loads in Lake Worth and the same crew unloads in the DC area.
Leaving Florida for good? Palm Beach County moving crew keeps the whole haul on one truck with one crew, the price locked in writing before we load.
The drive: 1,000 miles straight up I-95
From Lake Worth we get on I-95 and essentially stay on it — up the Florida coast, through the Carolinas and Virginia, and into the Washington metro, about 1,000 miles. It is a two-to-three-day run. We load early to beat South Florida’s summer storms and heat, then make steady time up the eastern seaboard.
Who is moving to the DMV
- Professionals headed into government, law, defense, and contracting work.
- Adult children and grandchildren the snowbirds spend their winters away from.
- Families relocating for university and hospital systems across the region.
- Seasonal residents reversing the classic Florida-to-Northeast pattern.
What changes in the capital region
The DMV brings four full seasons — humid summers, crisp falls, and cold, sometimes snowy winters that are a world away from Lake Worth’s mild dry season. Housing runs to brick rowhouses, garden condos, and basements, and the high-rises in DC, Arlington, and Bethesda enforce strict move-in windows and certificate-of-insurance rules — exactly the kind of building logistics we already manage every day on South Florida’s oceanfront towers.
The flat rate, locked in writing
We inventory the home, coordinate any COI and freight-elevator reservation on the DC end, and quote one binding number under our interstate authority. The date is reserved with $115 down, an amount applied as a credit on the bill. Protection is $0.60 per pound released value standard, full-value optional, with up to $1,000,000 cargo coverage per shipment.
