West Palm Beach, FL to Orlando, FL: 170 Miles Up Florida’s Turnpike on One Signed Price
Orlando sits about 170 miles north of us, nearly all of it on Florida’s Turnpike, and the drive takes around 2 hours 45 minutes. The Turnpike entrance at Lake Worth Road is twenty minutes from most Palm Beach County pickups, and from there the truck runs past Fort Pierce and Yeehaw Junction straight into the Orlando interchanges. Most households load here in the morning and sleep in the new place that night.

A tolled road, with the tolls already settled
Unlike our I-95 lanes, this one costs money to drive: the Turnpike bills by the mile, and a box truck pays more than a sedan. You will never see that charge, because we price the lane knowing exactly what the gantries collect and fold the amount into the contract ahead of your signature. The same goes for diesel and driver hours. The figure stays put whether our SunPass pings five times or fifteen.
Where Orlando moves get complicated
The metro is enormous, and each corner behaves differently. Downtown towers near Lake Eola want a COI plus a scheduled service elevator. Lake Nona and the newer southeast suburbs sit behind HOA gates with their own visitor procedures. Winter Park brings brick streets and low oak canopies that decide where a 26-footer can actually stand. Deliveries near the attractions corridor get timed around the daily crush on I-4 and the toll roads circling the parks. We ask the right questions when you book, then build the arrival plan around the answers.
Same employees at both addresses
The trip never leaves Florida, so it runs as in-state work under, with and standing behind it. Your goods occupy one truck from Palm Beach County to Orange County, loaded and delivered by people Three Friends Moving employs directly. There is no terminal stop, no trailer shared with strangers, and no second outfit meeting the truck. Summer afternoons bring thunderstorms to the middle of the state almost daily, so crews aim to load early and keep everything wrapped tight; from June through November we watch the tropics and re-slot dates at no cost when a storm threatens either end of the lane.
