Moves within Florida

Florida registers movers and holds them to consumer protection rules rather than filed rates. Yembo produces the written, signed estimate those rules expect, priced from the surveyed inventory.

Who movers register with in Florida

Florida movers and moving brokers register with the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services every two years under chapter 507, Florida Statutes. The state does not set rates, but it does police conduct, and violations carry fines up to $5,000 per count.

Chapter 507 requires a written estimate and contract before any moving or accessorial service is provided, signed and dated by both the shipper and the mover, stating the total cost and the basis for it.

This page summarizes public information for movers and is not legal advice.

How Yembo prices a Florida move

One estimating engine covers local, intrastate, interstate, and international authority, so a Florida mover runs regulated and unregulated work from the same tariff library.

The tariff is the pricing engine

Your rate structure loads into Yembo as a tariff with an effective date and a revision history, and every estimate prices against it. Change the rates once and every estimate after it follows, with no spreadsheet drift between salespeople.

Priced from what is actually in the home

The estimate starts from the visual inventory the survey produced, not from a guess over the phone. Weight and volume come from the AI-built cube sheet, and the line items follow from linehaul, accessorial, fuel surcharge, and service area rules in the tariff.

Binding, non-binding, or not-to-exceed

Offer the estimate types you are comfortable standing behind. Yembo supports binding, non-binding, and not-to-exceed quotes on the same tariff, and the survey accuracy is what makes the binding one safe to offer.

Written, signed, and on record

Estimates go out as documents with e-signature built in, and every revision is kept. Where the state requires a written estimate signed before work begins, this is that paper trail, produced as a side effect of selling.

Estimates in the United States territories

The territories run their own moving programs, so a move inside one answers to that territory rather than to any state.
