What went wrong on this run: of 20 reviews, 40% mention damage and 20% a delay or a no-show. Reviewer-reported, counted by phrase.
Who makes this move
The two counts sit side by side for one survey year, each a headcount of people who changed address.
Census puts a real number on this lane. In the 2024 American Community Survey, 8,252 people moved from Georgia to New York, with a margin of plus or minus 2,319. In the other direction, 12,771 people moved from New York to Georgia that same year. The two counts sit side by side for one survey year, each a headcount of people who changed address.
Price levels and wage tax differ at each end. BEA regional price parity for 2024 sets the US at 100. Georgia is 96.3 and New York is 107.9, so the same basket costs more on the New York side of that index. Both states tax wages. The rate belongs on the tax return, and this page leaves it there.
What the job looks like
The review file for this lane is small.
The run we see most is Atlanta to New York. The distance is 862 miles, about 17 hours of driving. Long-distance household goods are priced by weight and miles, so two homes on this same map can still produce two different bills. Days on the road follow the pickup and delivery window written on the order for service.
The review file for this lane is small. We have 20 reviews, with a median reported price of $4,520 across 20 priced reviews. The middle half of those prices runs from $2,740 to $6,050. Those figures mix home sizes and distances, so read them as a spread across jobs. 40% of the reviews mention damage, and 20% mention a delay or a no-show.
Before you book
If the only delivery date in the quote is soon, you do not have a window yet.
Ask for the license before the deposit. An interstate household move needs a mover with an active USDOT number and FMCSA household-goods authority. You can check the license against the name on the estimate. Haulest is a desk for reading quotes, not a carrier, so the authority has to belong to the company that loads the truck.
Get the price form and the delivery window in writing. A binding or not-to-exceed estimate caps what you owe if the inventory holds. On a non-binding estimate the mover must deliver once you pay 110 percent of the estimate, which is the 110 percent rule. Read the line items the way our estimate guide lays them out, and keep the delivery window on the order for service.
Deposit terms belong on the same page as the price. Ask what is refundable if the date slips, and what is earned once the truck is reserved. Our deposit guide lists the questions to settle before any transfer. If the only delivery date in the quote is soon, you do not have a window yet.
