Moving a household can be a difficult experience.
Effective planning can help alleviate the stress associated with moving.
The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services has prepared this brochure to help you learn how to arrange a move within the state. This brochure gives suggestions on how to choose a reliable mover, cut moving costs and prevent damage and losses. The trucking and transportation industry was deregulated in 1980, so it is important that consumers know their rights when dealing with household moving companies. In Florida, more than 60 percent of household moves occur between July 1 and September 30. Because this places demand on moving companies' staffs and equipment, they charge premium rates for moves in these months.
