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 Washington, DC to Florida move
Send the DC loading and elevator instructions alongside the Florida management requirements. Keep the date you receive Florida keys separate from the date the DC crew loads; neither building reservation establishes the interstate delivery schedule.

“Gorilla Haulers completed my long distance interstate move with precision professionalism, and no stress. I needed to move the contents from three separate storage locations around northern Virginia to new home in Florida. Wilson and his crew picked up everything from each location and even provided additional packing to protect my furnishings. Mike and his delivery team showed up within 3 days on time and moved everything into my home in just a few hours either zero damage. I highly recommend Gorilla Haulers. Local company and very professional..”

| Location | Access to review |
|---|---|
| Washington, DC pickup | For a DC apartment or rowhouse, tell us where the truck can stop, how many flights of stairs are involved, and whether your building requires an elevator appointment. Include items stored in a basement or upper floor. |
| 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. |
