Who makes this move
A gap between 105.0 and 96.3 is a price gap, not a reason to move.
Census counts 6,199 people moving Maryland to Georgia. The ACS 2024 figure is 6,199, with a margin of plus or minus 1,461. In the other direction, 5,702 people moved from Georgia to Maryland. The survey records the headcount in each direction and stops there. It does not record a reason for the move.
Price levels sit lower in Georgia than in Maryland. BEA price parity for 2024 sets the United States at 100. Maryland reads 105.0 and Georgia reads 96.3. Both states tax wages. This page does not quote a rate for either state. A gap between 105.0 and 96.3 is a price gap, not a reason to move.
What the job looks like
The piano is always heavier on the day.
The common run in our file is Annapolis to Locust Grove. That pair covers 702 miles, about 14 hours of driving. The hour count is road time, not the length of the job. Loading, transit, and the delivery window put days around that drive. Book the shipment as a multi-day move and treat 14 hours as the time the truck is actually rolling.
Our file for this lane holds 18 reviews, and that sample is small. The median reported price is $3,500 across 18 priced reviews. The middle half of those prices runs from $2,360 to $4,965. Those figures mix home sizes and distances, so they describe this file, not a quote for your house. Haulest is not a carrier and does not sell the move.
The bill is weight times miles, and the arrival is a window. On a long-distance move, the carrier prices the shipment by how much it weighs and how far it goes. The delivery window is set on the order for service. Read past prices against your own weight, since the lane median mixes unlike jobs. Packing density moves the number. The piano is always heavier on the day.
Before you book
A verbal "sometime next week" is not a window.
Start with an active USDOT number and household-goods authority. An interstate move from Maryland to Georgia needs a mover with both, and you can check the licence before money changes hands. Authority means the FMCSA household-goods grant. If the number is missing or inactive, stop there. Haulest can point at the record. It does not haul the furniture.
Ask whether the estimate is binding or not to exceed. A non-binding estimate still has a hard stop on collection: the mover must deliver if you pay 110 percent of the estimate. Read the 110 percent rule before you sign, and walk the line items in a guide to reading an estimate. Get the delivery window in writing on the order for service.
Write the deposit terms down next to the delivery window. Note how much is due, when it is due, and what happens to it if the date moves. Read how a moving deposit works before you pay one. The window itself belongs on the order for service, in writing, before the truck is booked. A verbal "sometime next week" is not a window.

Ask out loud

- ACS 2024 counts 6,199 people moving from Maryland to Georgia, with a margin of plus or minus 1,461. In the other direction, 5,702 people moved from Georgia to Maryland. The survey records the counts and does not give a reason.
- How far is the usual Maryland to Georgia run?
- The most common run in our file is Annapolis to Locust Grove. That pair is 702 miles, about 14 hours of driving. Treat those hours as road time, with days around them for loading and the delivery window.
- What did people report paying?
- The median reported price in our file is $3,500, across 18 priced reviews. The middle half of reported prices runs from $2,360 to $4,965. Prices mix home sizes and distances, so the median is not a bid for your house.
- What authority does the mover need?
- An interstate household-goods move needs a mover with an active USDOT number and FMCSA household-goods authority. Check both before you pay a deposit. Haulest is not a carrier and cannot book the truck for you.
- When does the 110 percent rule apply?
- On a non-binding estimate, the mover must deliver if you pay 110 percent of the estimate. A binding or not-to-exceed estimate is a different promise, so confirm which one is on your paperwork. Keep the delivery window in writing on the order for service.
