What is different about moving in Fort Lauderdale
These are the things that decide how a move day runs here — not a generic checklist repeated for every city.
High-rise and downtown moves
Buildings here typically require a reserved service elevator, a defined move window and a certificate of insurance on file. We arrange all three with management before the crew arrives.
Waterfront and narrow access
Where a 26-foot truck cannot reach the door, we plan a shuttle or a longer carry into the estimate instead of discovering it on move day.
Long-distance from here
Fort Lauderdale sits on the I-95 corridor, which is the route north for our Georgia and Carolinas moves.

Drawbridges on the route
Fort Lauderdale's New River and Intracoastal crossings include drawbridges that open for boat traffic. A bridge opening can hold a truck for several minutes, so timing around them is part of planning a waterfront or downtown move.

Questions
Fort Lauderdale moving questions
What does it mean that Florida is your hub?
It is where the company operates from — Forward is based in Dania Beach, moves are coordinated from here, and our storage is here. A Florida move is booked, priced and delivered under Forward's own operating authority and insurance, with one coordinator here responsible for it.
Can you also move me out of Florida?
Yes — that is our long-distance service. We offer moving services in thirteen states along the Atlantic coast, and the move is quoted and run as one job out of our Florida hub.
Do you handle condos and high-rise buildings?
Yes, and they need scheduling rather than just labor: most buildings require a reserved elevator, a defined move-in window and a certificate of insurance on file before the crew arrives. We handle that paperwork with building management as part of the booking.
What are your local Florida rates?
Local moves are priced based on crew size, move size, location, and services required. Most moves use a 2–4 person crew with a minimum booking period. Travel time may apply depending on the pickup and destination. Contact us for an exact hourly quote.
How far ahead should I book?
1–2 weeks in advance is recommended. During weekends, month-end, summer and peak moving periods, 2–4 weeks is recommended. Same-day and short-notice moves can be accommodated based on availability.
What time does the move start?
Most moves start between 8:00 and 9:00 AM. Earlier starts, including 4:00–5:00 AM, can be arranged when needed.
