Welcome Mass288!
Where in Mass are you from? My husband grew up in Quincy, I'm from Somerville but we lived 33 years of our married life in Attleboro.
We used ABF and loaded a trailer (they allow 3 days to load), it was held in Ocala til we got here (no extra charge) and we had 3 days to unload it (we hired 2 football players from the charter school but you can get day hires here to help). Get rid of any furniture you are not in love with because it's expensive to move and when you get here you realize you want a more FL style. We stayed in a friends house here for a week, 2010, and went around and bought all floor models (40% off) and our golf cart during that week before our closing date and had our stuff booked to come hours after closing. This site was so helpful in answering any questions you may have and I depended on it for everything. You'll wish you came here much sooner when you get settled. Stay in touch.
