Our trucks run this route
Our trucks run between our Chicago, New Jersey, and DC-area bases every day, and down the East Coast to Florida. Most deliveries along this route arrive in under a week. Pickup and delivery dates are confirmed with your estimate.
Planning your New Jersey to Florida move
Pair the Jersey City or Hoboken loading window with Florida move-in paperwork and gate instructions. Confirm which belongings need packing before departure, rather than assuming the receiving community’s approval covers the pickup building too.

“Just had to share this. We worked with Eli Jones for our partial move from Plattsburgh NY to Dade City FL. We experienced great friendly communication and thoughtful careful moving guys on both ends of our move. Most of our things are sentimental older things that we love and value and the guys were so very careful. The movers had to traverse stairs on both sides of this move and made it look easy. All the furniture was carefully wrapped and secured. We packed 45 boxes of more family items, including several breakable pieces, framed pictures, (2) large pieces of valuable artwork which they carefully wrapped and crated and lots of my books and all went very well with those too. We can highly recommend.”

| Location | Access to review |
|---|---|
| New Jersey pickup | For a New Jersey apartment, check the loading entrance and reserved elevator hours. For a house, include basement and attic belongings in your inventory. Tell us whether street parking or a shared driveway limits loading access. |
| Florida delivery | For a Florida condo, confirm elevator reservations, loading hours, and any paperwork needed for movers. Give us your first available delivery date separately from your flight or drive south. If your closing or lease start is uncertain, discuss storage before pickup. |
