Sample 300-Mile Moving Timeline

Moving from Boston to Miami with Move & Care takes an average of two to four days. A typical move from Boston to Miami begins with Move & Care movers leaving Greater Boston at first light on the first day of the move. Then the move begins on the 1,500-mile I-95 corridor through as many as nine states with an overnight stop in the Carolinas. By Day 3, the movers arrive in South Florida. Deliveries are made on Day 3 or Day 4 depending on the scope of the job, the moment the movers leave Boston, and the elevator reservations in Brickell high-rises or driveways in Coral Gables and Miami Beach. Each evening, your coordinator will send you one GPS coordinate update so you always know the truck's location and are sure to meet your Massachusetts boxes at the new location in Miami.

Moving from Boston to Philadelphia with Move & Care usually takes one to two days. A move begins with our team loading up in Greater Boston early in the morning. Then the truck heads south on the I-95 corridor, covering roughly 300 miles through Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey.

Most moves reach Philadelphia the same evening or by the next morning, depending on the size of the job, departure time, and building access (loading docks, elevators, or city parking permits).

To keep you updated, our manager provides one GPS location check-in per day, so you always know where your belongings are and when to expect them at your new place in Philadelphia—whether it’s a Center City apartment, a townhouse in Fishtown, or a larger house in the suburbs.

What to Know Before Moving from Boston to Philadelphia

A Boston to Philadelphia move may not mean a dramatic climate change, but it implies adjusting to a denser urban environment and planning for the logistics of both cities. Boston’s narrow streets often require a moving truck parking permit — you can apply for it on the Boston website.

Philadelphia’s authority may also demand a parking permit — here’s Philadelphia website to get it. 

We’re ready to help with both permits providing info about truck size, signs posting and proving the move will really happen.  

In Philadelphia, many apartment buildings and office towers require elevator reservations or Certificates of Insurance before a move. Our team coordinates directly with building managers, secures permits, posts all required signage, and provides the COI, so you don’t have to worry about compliance issues on moving day.

Just like with every long-distance move, Move & Care provides more than transportation. We:

  • Disassemble and reassemble beds and larger furniture.
  • Wrap and protect items with free moving blankets.
  • Offer climate-controlled storage options if your new Philadelphia place isn’t ready.
  • Place furniture where you want it before we leave.
  • Remove all packing debris so your first night is calm and clean.

The Moving Process (Boston to Philadelphia)

Preparation

At first, our manager conducts a quick video survey, inventories your belongings, and helps with a Boston parking permit if needed. If you pack items by yourself, we can provide boxes and packing supplies in advance, or bring them on moving day if you’ve chosen full-service packing

Depending on the packing option a move’s cost and time may vary — the final cost will be written on your quote. 

Departures are often scheduled early in the morning to avoid peak traffic around Boston and New York.

Moving Day

Our team carefully pads, wraps, and labels each item before loading onto an air-ride truck. GPS updates keep you informed throughout the trip. If traffic delays around New York or New Jersey arise, we adjust the route or timing to keep your delivery window intact.

Delivery & Unpacking

Most moves to Philadelphia are completed within the same or next day, depending on load size and building access. We keep contact with your building management to reserve elevators, provide COI and post required signage. When we arrive, our team reassembles furniture, places each box in the right room, and removes all packing debris. After the final check confirms everything is in order, you’re ready to settle into your new Philadelphia home.

If you find some items damaged or missing, contact our manager right away. You are protected with basic insurance included in moving services.
