About this route
Why so many cars go from Oklahoma to Florida
About 4,477 people moved from Oklahoma to Florida in each of the last two years, according to the Census Bureau's American Community Survey (5,488 in 2023, 3,466 in 2024). That is 5.6% of everyone who left Oklahoma for another state, making Florida its #2 destination.
Traffic runs both ways — about 5,049 people a year move from Florida back to Oklahoma — so carriers run this lane year-round and quotes tend to be steady.
Distance and transit time
Expect about 1,450 road miles from Oklahoma City to Miami — 3–6 days on the truck after pickup. Carriers usually load several cars before heading out, so the pickup window matters as much as transit time. The car heads east-southeast and crosses one time zone — from Central to Eastern time — so confirm whether the delivery window you are given is in local time.
On the road
- Hurricane season (June–November) occasionally delays Gulf and Atlantic coast deliveries; carriers will reschedule rather than drive into a storm.
