Boston to Atlanta Movers, 1,120 Road Miles

Boston to Atlanta is 1,120 road miles, and Move & Care moves homes at one flat rate: $2,700 for a studio to $8,450 for a four-bedroom house. We are the carrier, not a broker, so our own crew loads your home.

Connecticut bans box trucks from the Merritt and Wilbur Cross Parkways, so the Move & Care truck takes I-90 and I-84 west, then I-81, I-77, and I-85 south. About 17 hours at the wheel make two driving days under the federal 11-hour limit. Delivery is planned for 3 to 6 days after loading.

One price buys the crew, our truck, its fuel and tolls, and basic coverage of 60 cents per pound per article. The $50 equipment charge is already counted. Furniture taken apart in Boston is rebuilt in Atlanta. You pay extra only for what you add: packing, boxes, Full Value Protection, or a heavy item such as a piano. A long loading day does not change a confirmed price. Walk the rooms before the crew leaves; damage goes on a Damage Report. We run interstate moves under USDOT 3212621 and MC-1018431.

Small and average homes need no visit; big houses get a video or in-home walkthrough. You book the curb space at both ends and any elevator or dock time. Send a building's exact requirements and we issue its Certificate of Insurance.

The road from Boston to Atlanta

The truck leaves Boston on I-90, picks up I-84 west through Hartford and across the Hudson, and then runs south on I-81 for about 467 miles into Virginia. I-77 and I-85 carry it through the Carolinas to Atlanta. That is 1,120 miles by truck.

A car GPS may send the same trip down Connecticut Route 15, the Merritt and Wilbur Cross Parkways, which is about 30 miles shorter. Box trucks and anything over 8 feet tall are banned there, so a moving truck cannot take it.

How the days add up

About 17 hours of driving, at 11 hours a day at most under federal rules, makes two driving days. Add the loading day, the delivery appointment and some room for weather, and delivery is planned for 3 to 6 days after loading.

Loading day in Boston: the crew blankets the furniture, takes apart the pieces your plan lists and fills the truck room by room.
Two driving days: I-84 and I-81, then I-77 and I-85 into Georgia.
Delivery in Atlanta: the crew unloads into the rooms you name and rebuilds what it took apart.

Pickup in Boston

A Boston moving-truck permit is not required, but it holds a legal curb spot for the day. The city takes online applications at least 15 days before the move and in-person ones at least 3 days before, and you or someone you know posts the signs 48 hours ahead. Apply on the City of Boston moving truck page.

Delivery in Atlanta

Look at the street in front of your new home before delivery day. Meters, loading zones and permit-only parking all belong to Atlanta DOT Parking Services, so that is the office to ask what a truck may do there. In a building, book the elevator or dock for the delivery window and send us any insurance wording the manager gives you.

After you arrive in Georgia

Georgia gives new residents 30 days to apply for a Georgia driver's license (Georgia DDS) and 30 days from the move to register a car at the County Tag Office (Georgia Department of Revenue).

From $2,700 to $8,450, by home size.

The flat rate runs from $2,700 for a studio up to $8,450 for a four-bedroom house, set from your inventory before you book. Crew, truck, fuel, tolls and basic coverage are in that price; packing, boxes and heavy items such as a piano are not.

Delivery in 3 to 6 days after loading.

Delivery is planned for 3 to 6 days after loading. The drive alone is about 17 hours, which is two driving days under the federal 11-hour limit; the rest of the window covers loading, weather and your delivery appointment.

Trucks can't use Connecticut Route 15.

We count 1,120 miles because box trucks are banned from the Merritt and Wilbur Cross Parkways. A car route through Connecticut on Route 15 is about 30 miles shorter, while our truck stays on I-84 and I-81.

Yes, if you cancel at least 2 weeks before the move.

Yes, we take a deposit to hold your date, and you get it back if you cancel at least 2 weeks before the move. If the crew arrives and you can't move at the scheduled time, the minimum charge may apply.

Sometimes, if your dates are flexible.

By default your move gets its own truck. If your dates are flexible, a shared truck can lower the price when one is available, so ask about it when you book.

Get a Georgia license and register your car within 30 days.

Apply for a Georgia driver's license within 30 days of becoming a resident, and register your vehicle within 30 days at your County Tag Office. Both deadlines count from your move.
