Why Milestone Moving Co. Is Starke’s Preferred Moving & Storage Company
We’ve been serving Starke and Bradford County for over 20 years. Our crews know that a move off SR-100 is different from one in a Jacksonville suburb, and we plan accordingly.
Our reputation here is built on showing up in uniform, on our own payroll, with a binding written quote that does not change on move day. The Move-Right Guarantee means one number, one crew, and a named pickup and delivery window. For 90 days after delivery, anything we moved or packed that isn’t right is made right with a crew or a check - not a claim form that disappears into a subcontractor’s voicemail.
Response time to Starke is typically same-day or next-day for estimates, with moves scheduled within 48 hours of booking. We garage fully stocked branded trucks in North Florida, so we’re not driving empty equipment down from South Florida when you need us.
Live support answers every call, 24/7. Before the move, during the move, and when something needs fixing after.
Our Moving & Storage Services in Starke
Storage-in-Transit
Starke sits at the center of Florida’s corrections employment hub, and DOC-mandated staff reassignments between Florida State Prison, Union Correctionation Institution, and other prison-town clusters across the state drive a steady churn of residential moves. Unlike typical lifestyle relocations, these often require flexible scheduling and storage-in-transit for employees waiting on housing assignments. We recently handled a two-week storage-in-transit for a corrections officer transferring from Starke to a post in Raiford. The house was a 1960s pier-and-beam home on an unpaved driveway off NE 1st Street; after a morning thunderstorm, the driveway turned to slick sand-clay, so we staged the truck on the paved road and walked every load out on dollies. We climate-controlled stored the household for 10 days until their new rental was ready, avoiding a bogged-down truck and a delayed move. Storage-in-Transit runs $90-$400 monthly depending on volume.
Climate-Controlled Storage
North Florida’s humidity from May through September will warp wood furniture, swell electronics, and mildew upholstered items in a standard unit. Our climate-controlled storage maintains stable temperature and humidity, protecting antiques, instruments, and DOC families’ household goods during uncertain reassignment timelines. For delicate items like pianos, see our Piano & Specialty Moving - Starke options. The monthly rate is $90-$400. Every unit is monitored and accessible by appointment.
Long-Term Storage
Some Starke moves aren’t point-to-point. Corrections officers awaiting permanent placement, families building on rural Bradford County land, or adult children clearing out a parent’s 1940s stick-built home on Call Street often need months, not weeks. Long-term storage with Milestone includes inventory documentation, condition photos at intake, and the same 90-Day Done Right Promise when items come back out. Monthly pricing scales with volume.
Short-Term Storage
Closing dates misalign. Renovations run over. Storm damage needs remediation. Short-term storage bridges the gap with flexible terms and no long-term commitment. We pack, load, store, and redeliver - one crew, start to finish.

Common Moving & Storage Problems We See in Starke Homes
- Trucks bogging down on sand-clay driveways. Many rural Bradford County properties have long, unpaved driveways that turn slick and soft after afternoon thunderstorms. A moving truck that arrives dry in the morning can get stuck trying to leave after a summer storm. We stage on the paved road and walk loads out.
- Heat and humidity beating down crews in non-climate-controlled mobile homes. North Florida’s genuine summer heat from May through September makes midday outdoor loading physically taxing. We schedule morning starts and rotate crews to prevent heat-related delays.
- Furniture that won’t fit through narrow doorways in older homes. Starke’s 1940s-1970s stick-built homes often have tight hallways and modest door frames. We measure first, disassemble when needed, and protect walls with Uline pads and Masonite runners.
- Underestimating the logistics of park-model and manufactured home moves. Bradford County has one of Florida’s highest rates of manufactured home ownership. These moves require specialized equipment for tie-downs, skirting removal, and transport permits - or careful coordination if you’re moving contents only into a new unit.
