About Our DC to Tampa, FL Moving Company

AT Movers is the go-to Washington DC to Tampa moving company. We started with one family-owned 16 ft truck and today run six 26 ft box trucks plus two sprinter crews. Our teams know the 850-plus-mile DC → FL corridor—running I-95 through Virginia and the Carolinas, cutting across Jacksonville via I-295, then onto I-4 and I-75 into the Tampa Bay area. That regional know-how keeps your long-distance move safe, on budget, and on schedule. Learn more about us.

Planning and Preparation

Our instant online calculator is the first step in your move from DC to Tampa. We’ll set up a quick planning call after you submit to go over the inventory, dates, access (elevators, stairs, loading zones), and any fragile or special items. You’ll get a written, legally binding estimate and a personalized plan for moving from DC to Tampa.

Tips from the pros

  • Start making your moving list about six weeks before you move.
  • Get rid of things you don’t need and give them away early. The less stuff you have, the less it will cost to move along the 850-mile corridor.
  • In downtown Tampa, Channelside, Westshore, and St. Pete high-rises, it’s common to need to know about freight-elevator reservations, loading-dock hours, and insurance (COI) requirements.
  • Plan your deliveries around the weather in Florida. In the summer, storms can pop up in the afternoons.
  • If you’re moving a car, compare open and enclosed transport and make sure the pickup time works with when you’re moving out of your house.

Packing and Loading

We bring high-quality packing materials and eco-friendly, water-resistant boxes on moving day. Glassware goes in double-wall corrugated boxes, artwork goes in picture crates, and furniture is wrapped in blankets and then shrink-wrapped before it leaves your home. Mattresses are put in bags, TVs are put in boxes that are safe for walls, and rugs are rolled up and put in poly-sleeves.

Helpful hints

  • Use wardrobe boxes to hang up clothes. They won’t get wrinkled and are easy to unpack.
  • Put a room number and a list of the most important items on each box. For faster staging, use a simple color code.
  • Put together a “first-night” box with linens, toiletries, chargers, and a coffee kit, and keep it close by.
  • If you’re in a hurry, think about using only fragile items or full-pack service.
  • There may be rules about moving plants between states. Before you pack, ask us about safe ways to do it.

Transportation and Delivery

Your shipment is delivered in 26-foot box trucks that are tracked by GPS and have air-ride. We take I-95 smartly down to Tampa Bay, then I-295 around Jacksonville if we need to, and then I-4/I-75 into the Tampa Bay area. When we deliver, we put the furniture back together, put things in each room, and take away all the packing materials.

Tips from the pros

  • Let people know about the building rules and the COI ahead of time, especially for high-rises in downtown Tampa, Hyde Park, Westshore, SoHo, UT/USF off-campus housing, and St. Pete/Clearwater.
  • Draw a picture of where your furniture will go before you arrive. It can save you hours of moving in.
  • Reserve parking or loading zones if you need to; some HOAs need to be told ahead of time about trucks.
  • If timing is important, ask about team-driver express for next-day delivery. Economy options take 2–3 days to deliver.

Frequently Asked Questions

For a DC→Tampa move, those teaser rates often exclude truck/travel time, fuel and tolls, packing materials, access surcharges, specialty-item handling, storage/overnights, and admin; ask for a written flat, binding, itemized quote—ours is fully transparent.

Mid-week and mid-month are typically lowest, especially outside summer; booking 4–6 weeks ahead and choosing an early-morning slot usually saves the most.

Hazardous or perishable items—flammables, chemicals, pressurized tanks, open food, many plants—as well as cash, jewelry, and critical documents; keep these with you and ask us for the current interstate “do-not-pack” list.
