Who makes this move

What the job looks like
Those hours are the driving time, not a promise of which day the crew unloads.
The common run is Philadelphia to Atlanta. In our file that pair is 774 miles, about 15 hours on the road. Those hours are the driving time, not a promise of which day the crew unloads. Long-distance moves are priced by weight and miles, and delivery is a window set on the order for service.
The review file for this lane is small: 28 reviews. The median reported price is $4,500 across 28 priced reviews, and the middle half runs from $2,837 to $7,000. Prices mix home sizes and distances. 46% of the reviews mention damage, and 29% mention a delay or a no-show.
Before you book
Get the delivery window in writing on the order for service, not as a verbal maybe.
Book a mover with an active USDOT number and FMCSA household-goods authority. Interstate moves need both. Use the license lookup before you pay anyone. Haulest is not a carrier and does not haul the load. Ask whether the estimate is binding or not-to-exceed, and read how to read a moving estimate so the line items match the job.
On a non-binding estimate, delivery is due on payment of 110 percent of the estimate. That rule is the 110 percent rule. Get the delivery window in writing on the order for service, not as a verbal maybe. Read the deposit terms before you send money, and keep a copy of what the deposit covers and when it is refundable.

Ask out loud
Questions people ask
- How many people moved from Pennsylvania to Georgia?
- ACS 2024 counts 7,365 people who moved from Pennsylvania to Georgia, with a margin of plus or minus 2,340. The reverse flow, Georgia to Pennsylvania, is 5,227. The counts show the size of the move, not the reasons behind it.
- How far is the usual Pennsylvania to Georgia run?
- The most common run in our file is Philadelphia to Atlanta, 774 miles and about 15 hours of driving. That driving time is not the delivery date. Delivery is a window set on the order for service.
- What did people report paying?
- Across 28 priced reviews, the median reported price is $4,500. The middle half of those prices runs from $2,837 to $7,000. Prices mix home sizes and distances, so the median is a file figure, not a quote for your shipment.
- How often do reviews mention damage or a delay?
- Of the 28 reviews in our file, 46% mention damage and 29% mention a delay or a no-show. Ask for claims steps in writing before load day. A damage note in a review is a reason to read the valuation terms, not a forecast for your house.
- What should I confirm before I book?
- Confirm an active USDOT number and FMCSA household-goods authority, and whether the estimate is binding or not-to-exceed. On a non-binding estimate the mover must deliver on payment of 110 percent of the estimate. Get the delivery window and the deposit terms in writing.
