Georgia Long-Haul Route · Atlanta ↔ Athens
About 72 miles out I-85 and GA-316 — one crew, one day, priced per shipment with a binding written quote, planned around the University calendar when your dates touch it.
Atlanta to Athens is about 72 miles out I-85 North to GA-316 — an hour and a half, most days. It clears Georgia’s 50-mile line, so it prices per shipment rather than by the hour: weight or cubic footage, the access at both addresses, and the date, in a binding written quote before move day. One crew, one day, both directions at the same pricing.
Athens runs on the University calendar. Early August move-in week and graduation weekend compress everything — trucks, elevators at the mid-rises, parking near campus — and home-game Saturdays effectively close downtown to a box truck. If your dates touch any of those, book early and we will plan the windows around them.
A written, surveyed estimate — crew, truck, fuel, mileage, padding and wrap, disassembly and reassembly — with a small deposit to hold the date and the balance due on delivery before unload, confirmed on your bill of lading. Lease gap between homes? Storage in transit bridges it; packing prices onto the same quote. Students and parents: our campus moving crews handle the dorm-scale version of this run all August.
