What went wrong on this run: of 92 reviews, 30% mention damage and 17% a delay or a no-show. Reviewer-reported, counted by phrase.
Who makes this move
The counts show volume in both directions and nothing about why a household moved.
Census counts both directions. Census ACS 2024 puts the Georgia to Florida flow at 34,388 people, margin plus or minus 6,124. The reverse flow, Florida to Georgia, is 52,371 people. The counts show volume in both directions and nothing about why a household moved.
Price levels differ at each end. BEA price parity for 2024 sets the US at 100. Georgia sits at 96.3 and Florida at 103.4, so the same basket of goods costs more in Florida on that index. That gap is a price comparison, not a prediction of your moving bill.
Wage tax splits at the state line. Georgia taxes wages, and Florida has no tax on wages. No rate belongs in this note. A wage tax is a state filing matter, separate from the freight bill for an interstate household move.
What the job looks like
That driving time is not a delivery date.
The common run is a long drive. In our file the most common Georgia to Florida trip is Atlanta to Tampa, 456 miles, about 8 hours behind the wheel. That driving time is not a delivery date. A household goods shipment arrives inside a window written on the order for service.
Price tracks weight and miles. Interstate moves are priced by weight and miles, so quotes on this lane scatter. Across 92 priced reviews the median reported price is $3,500, and the middle half runs from $2,200 to $5,155. Home size and distance are mixed in those numbers. A long distance cost guide helps you read a quote against that spread.
Damage and delay show up in the file. Of 92 reviews for this run, 30% mention damage and 17% mention a delay or a no-show. That is a share of writeups, not a promise about your truck. If a date slips, a delivery window complaint guide lays out what the order already promised.
Before you book
The delivery window is set on the order for service
Check the license before the deposit. An interstate household move needs a mover with an active USDOT number and FMCSA household goods authority. Look the number up before you pay anyone. The license lookup is the place to confirm both the USDOT number and the household goods authority.
Know which estimate you signed. Ask for a binding or not-to-exceed estimate if you want a ceiling on the bill. On a non-binding estimate the mover must deliver on payment of 110 percent of the estimate. Put that figure next to the written delivery window before you pay. The 110 percent rule is the short version of that payment step.
Get the window and the deposit in writing. The delivery window is set on the order for service, so the dates should be on the paper you sign, not in a text you cannot find later. Deposit terms belong in that same paperwork: how much, when it is due, and whether it is refundable. Haulest is not a carrier and does not take that deposit.

Ask out loud
Questions people ask
- How many people moved from Georgia to Florida?
- Census ACS 2024 counts 34,388 people moving from Georgia to Florida, with a margin of plus or minus 6,124. The other way, Florida to Georgia, the count is 52,371. Those figures are headcounts, and they do not explain why a household moved.
- How long is the drive from Georgia to Florida?
- The most common run in our file is Atlanta to Tampa, 456 miles, about 8 hours of driving. That is time behind the wheel, not the day your goods arrive. Delivery is a window set on the order for service.
- What do reviews say this move costs?
- Across 92 priced reviews the median reported price is $3,500, and the middle half runs from $2,200 to $5,155. The file holds 92 reviews, and the prices mix home sizes and distances. Interstate moves are priced by weight and miles, so one median cannot stand in for your shipment.
- How often do reviews mention damage or a delay?
- Of 92 reviews, 30% mention damage and 17% mention a delay or a no-show. A percentage of past writeups is not a forecast for your load. Ask for the delivery window in writing so a late arrival has a range to check.
- What should I confirm before I book?
- Book a mover with an active USDOT number and FMCSA household goods authority. On a non-binding estimate the mover must deliver on payment of 110 percent of the estimate. Match the estimate type, the written delivery window, and the deposit terms before any money changes hands.
