“I moved into a new home after selling my first property, and I didn’t want to risk damaging any of the furniture I’d just refinished.

Who makes this move
The figures are headcounts. They do not say why anyone left.
Census counts both directions. In the 2024 ACS, 4,877 people moved from Massachusetts to Georgia, with a margin of plus or minus 2,140. In the other direction, 3,513 people moved from Georgia to Massachusetts that same year. The figures are headcounts. They do not say why anyone left.
Prices and wage tax differ at each end. BEA price parity for 2024 sets the United States at 100. Massachusetts sits at 105.8 and Georgia at 96.3. Both states tax wages. This page does not quote a rate, because the rate is not the moving bill and it changes outside our file.
What the job looks like
Delivery is a window the mover writes on the order for service
The common trip is a long drive. In our file it is Boston to Atlanta, 1,093 miles, about 21 hours of driving. That much road time runs across days, not a single afternoon. Delivery is a window the mover writes on the order for service, which is the date range you should plan around.
Reported prices sit in a wide band. Our file for this run is small: 19 reviews. The median reported price is $3,287 across 19 priced reviews, and the middle half runs from $2,150 to $6,800. Those quotes mix home sizes and distances, so read them as a spread on what this move can cost, not a quote for your house.
Long-distance price is weight times miles. Carriers price household goods by the weight of the shipment and the miles it travels, which is why a studio and a four-bedroom house do not land on the same line. The estimate should show both figures. If it only shows a flat dollar amount, ask what weight and mileage they used.
Before you book
On a non-binding estimate the mover must deliver once you pay 110 percent of the estimate
Check the licence before the deposit. Interstate household moves need a mover with an active USDOT number and FMCSA household-goods authority. Look both up on the licence check before you send money. Haulest is not a carrier and does not book the truck; the number on the estimate should belong to the company that will move the goods.
Get the price form in writing. Ask for a binding estimate or a not-to-exceed estimate. On a non-binding estimate the mover must deliver once you pay 110 percent of the estimate, which is the 110 percent rule. The delivery window belongs on that same paper, in dates, so a late truck has something you can point at.
Put the deposit terms on the order. The amount due up front, whether it is refundable, and what happens if you cancel should be written next to the price. A text that says you will sort it later is not a term. If the only thing that arrives on time is the invoice, you still want the delivery window on that page.
