Leaving Florida? For 52 years Lee's Moving has carried Palm Beach and Broward families to every corner of the country, with trucks leaving South Florida every week of the year. A binding written price, our own trucks and crews, and one contract from your door to your new one.
No obligation · Most quotes in one call
Family-owned since 1974 · USDOT 3034432 · Licensed & Insured
USDOT 3034432. Our trucks, our crews, our authority from pickup to delivery. Verify us on SAFER before you sign anything.
Founded in Boca Raton in 1974. Thousands of long distance moves later, our dispatch board still fills with trucks headed out of Florida every week of the year, in every season.
Every crew member is a permanent, full-time, background-checked Lee's mover. No temp agencies. No subcontracted crews loading your life onto a stranger's truck.
Quoted after a survey, written before pickup. A 35% deposit reserves your date and the balance is due at delivery, not before the truck leaves.
Full-service interstate moves from any Palm Beach or Broward home to your new state. Loaded by our own crew, in our own truck, under one contract.
Heading north for good, or setting up a second home? We run the I-95 corridor to the Northeast every season and know the timing that works.
Employer-paid relocations with written pricing your HR department can approve, and a coordinator who reports back at every stage.
An interstate load rides hundreds of miles. Our long distance packing standard is stricter than local: double-walled cartons, custom crates, every item inventoried.
Crated, padded and tagged, with valuation coverage options explained in writing before pickup, never after.
Closing dates rarely line up. We can hold your load in our warehouse and deliver when your new home is ready, all under the same contract.
Search for long distance movers in Florida and most of what you find is a broker: a sales office that takes your deposit and sells the job to a carrier you have never heard of. The truck that shows up belongs to someone else. So does the responsibility.
Lee's Moving is a licensed household goods carrier that has been loading trailers out of Florida since before most brokers existed. We quote your move, we pack and load it with our own movers, and your belongings stay under our authority until they are delivered. One company, pickup to delivery.
That is why we put our USDOT number on this page and ask you to check it. Then check the other quote. If the record says Broker, you now know who will actually move you.

Lee's Moving Company was founded in Boca Raton in May 1974. For 52 years the same family name has been on the trucks, which means that when you hand us a household headed for Georgia or New York, you are dealing with people who have a reputation in this community to protect.
Thousands of interstate moves later, that experience is still on the dispatch board every week, and the people who quote your move are the people who answer the phone while it is on the road.
A moving company that has operated from the same community for 52 years has earned something no broker can buy: trust built move by move, family by family, over five decades.
Before you book a long distance move, ask one question: who exactly is loading your belongings, and whose truck are they going in?
Some companies recruit workers from day-labor pools on the morning of your move. No background check, no training history, no personal stake in protecting your home.
Lee's Moving has never operated that way, not once in 52 years. Our crews are full-time, background-checked moving professionals, part of the same team Lee's has built since 1974.
That is not a policy. That is who we are.
Our full-time South Florida crew, uniformed, trained, and background-checked since day one.
| Lee's Moving Company | Typical long distance company | |
|---|---|---|
| Crew | ✓ Our own trained, background-checked movers, never day labor | ✗ Day laborers or a subcontracted crew hired per job |
| Estimate | ✓ Binding written price after a video or in-home survey | ✗ A phone estimate that grows at pickup |
| Deposit | ✓ 35% reserves your date. Balance due at delivery. | ✗ Large deposits, or full payment demanded before pickup |
| Your belongings in transit | ✓ Stay with Lee's, under one USDOT number, door to door | ✗ Handed to a third-party carrier you did not choose |
| Delivery | ✓ A delivery window written into your contract | ✗ A vague promise and a phone that goes to voicemail |
| Licensing | ✓ USDOT 3034432 and Florida IM 2822, verifiable on SAFER | ✗ A broker's number, or none at all |
| Communication | ✓ Your coordinator's direct line, from quote to delivery | ✗ A call center that forwards messages |

Piano moves require specialized equipment, crew training, and a documented approach. Every piano we move is wrapped, padded, and transported on a custom dolly by movers who have done this hundreds of times.

Every long distance move is quoted after a video or in-home survey, then written as a binding estimate. That is the number you plan around. If something changes on move day, extra items or access we did not see at the survey, it is priced from the same written rate sheet and explained before it goes on the truck, never discovered at delivery.
A 35% deposit reserves your dates. The balance is due when your belongings are delivered, not before pickup and not in the middle of the trip.
Hourly pricing, with no overtime rate after eight hours, is how we price local moves inside Palm Beach and Broward. Long distance is always a binding written price, because you deserve to know the number before the truck leaves Florida.
A local move rides twenty minutes on flat Florida roads. An interstate load rides for days, over mountains, through temperature swings and a thousand miles of vibration. The packing has to be built for that trip.
Our long distance standard uses double-walled cartons for anything fragile, custom-built crates for glass, stone and art, and mattress and furniture covers on every piece. Every carton is labeled by room and logged on your inventory before it goes on the truck.
You can have us pack the whole home, only the kitchen and breakables, or nothing at all and load what you packed yourself. Each option is priced in your written estimate so there is nothing to sort out on pickup day.
Four steps, and the price is fixed at step three. Here is exactly what happens between your first call and the last box in your new home.
Origin, destination, move date and home size. Use the form above or call. It takes about a minute.
We look at everything that is going. That is what makes the price binding instead of a guess.
One document with the price, the services, the valuation coverage and your pickup and delivery windows.
A 35% deposit reserves your dates. Our crew loads. The balance is due when we deliver to your new home.
When a company is paying, the paperwork matters as much as the packing. Lee's provides a binding written estimate an HR or relocation department can approve, an itemized invoice at delivery, and one coordinator who reports progress to both the employee and the employer.
We handle executive household moves, lab and office equipment that travels with a transferred team, and tight timelines around a start date in another state. Ask your coordinator for a corporate rate sheet.
Pianos, safes, marble, art and antiques do not go on a long distance truck the way a sofa does. Each one is measured at the survey, crated or padded to its own specification, and listed on your inventory with its condition noted before it leaves your home.
Valuation coverage is explained in writing before pickup. You choose the level that fits what you are shipping, and it is on your contract before the truck arrives. No mover should ask you to decide that at the curb.
Interstate moves reward planning. This is the timeline our coordinators walk every customer through, and it is why our pickup days are calm.
Every state in the continental United States is on the table. These are the lanes we run most often from Palm Beach and Broward, each with its own route guide.
Do not see your state? We move there too. Call and we will quote it.
We carry full liability insurance covering property damage and workers' compensation protecting every crew member. Every license Lee's Moving holds is active, verified, and publicly searchable.
If a building or HOA at either end of your move requires a certificate of insurance, call our office. We will have it to you before pickup at no charge. Our interstate authority is USDOT 3034432; look us up on SAFER any time.
Request a Certificate of InsuranceEvery license above is active, verified, and publicly searchable. Insurance certificates available on request. At no charge.
Yes on both. The survey and the written estimate are free with no obligation. Once you sign, the price is binding for the services listed. If something changes on move day, extra items or access we did not see at the survey, it is priced from the same written rate sheet and explained before it goes on the truck.
A 35% deposit reserves your pickup dates and your truck. The balance is due when your belongings are delivered. We do not ask for full payment before pickup, and we never ask for cash at the curb.
No. Lee's Moving Company is a licensed household goods carrier, USDOT 3034432 and Florida IM 2822. Our own crews load your belongings into our own trucks and they stay under our authority until delivery. Verify us at safer.fmcsa.dot.gov before you sign anything.
Drive time is the easy part: Atlanta is about 10 hours from Boca Raton, Charlotte about 11, and New York City about 19. Your delivery date is set as a written window in your contract, based on your pickup date and the lane, and your coordinator confirms the day inside that window.
Long distance is always a binding written price. Hourly pricing, where you pay only for the hours worked with no overtime rate after eight hours, is how we price local moves inside Palm Beach and Broward. For a move out of state you should know the number before the truck leaves Florida.
Every state in the continental United States. The routes we run most often from South Florida are Georgia, the Carolinas, Tennessee, Virginia, the Northeast corridor up to Maine, Texas, Colorado, Arizona, Nevada and California.
Anywhere in Palm Beach County or Broward County, from Jupiter down to Miramar and everywhere in between. Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Boynton Beach, West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale and Pompano Beach are weekly departure points for us.
Houseplants, perishable food, propane tanks, paint, aerosols and other hazardous materials cannot travel interstate. Jewelry, cash, passports and medications should ride with you. Your coordinator will go through the full list at the survey.
It happens often, and we plan for it. Talk to your coordinator as soon as you know. Depending on timing we can shift your pickup, adjust your delivery window, or hold your load in storage in transit until the new home is ready.
Every piece is padded, wrapped or crated and listed on a condition-noted inventory you sign at pickup. Valuation coverage options are explained and chosen in writing before pickup, so the level of protection is on your contract before the truck arrives.
Two to four weeks is comfortable from October through April. From May through September, when most moves out of Florida happen, six to eight weeks ahead gives you the best choice of dates and the best pricing.
