Direct carrier, not a broker
Los Angeles to Atlanta Movers Who Own the Truck
Moving from Los Angeles to Atlanta is a trip of more than 2,000 miles across the southern United States, and the question that matters most is who will actually load your home, drive it east and carry it into your new place in Georgia. Cross Country Moving LLC has been moving California households since 2010. We are a licensed interstate carrier, not a broker: we do not sell your move to another company.
Our own employed crews load your home in the San Fernando Valley, the Westside, the South Bay or anywhere else in Los Angeles County, your shipment rides on a Cross Country Moving truck, and our crews unload it in Atlanta. One company, one written estimate and one point of contact from the first call to delivery day. Starting elsewhere in Southern California? See our Los Angeles long distance movers page for every route we run from LA.
Most of the trip runs on the southern interstates — east through Arizona and New Mexico, across Texas, then through Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama into Georgia. It is one of the more weather-reliable cross-country corridors, which helps keep the estimated delivery window predictable for most of the year.

How Much Does It Cost to Move from Los Angeles to Atlanta?
Most full-service moves from Los Angeles to Atlanta cost between about $1,900 and $16,000, depending mainly on how much you ship. We price by volume in cubic feet (as a rule of thumb, 1 cubic foot ≈ 7 lbs, so 1,000 cu ft ≈ 7,000 lbs). On a route of about 2,175 miles the distance is fixed, so the volume of your shipment moves the price more than anything else, followed by packing, access at both homes and the time of year. For a broader view of what drives prices, see our California long distance moving cost guide.
Ranges are planning estimates, last reviewed October 2026. Volumes are typical for each home size. Your binding quote is based on your inventory list (in cubic feet) and the access at both addresses.
What moves the price on this route
Volume (cubic feet)
The single biggest factor on a 2,175-mile move. We price by cubic feet, so every piece of furniture you sell or donate before you leave Los Angeles lowers the price.
Access at both homes
LA hillside streets, condo loading docks and long carries add labor time at pickup. In Atlanta, intown streets lined with trees, steep driveways and apartment move-in reservations can do the same at delivery.
Packing scope
Full packing, partial packing of fragile items, or boxes you packed yourself. Packing labor and materials are itemized in your estimate so you can choose.
Season and calendar
May through September and month-end dates fill first and cost more. Mid-month dates in the off-season are usually the easiest to schedule.
Specialty items and storage
Pianos, safes, art and oversized pieces get their own handling plan. If your Atlanta closing or lease date does not line up with delivery, storage-in-transit bridges the gap.

How Long Does a Move from Los Angeles to Atlanta Take?
Delivery from Los Angeles to Atlanta takes an estimated 7–10 business days, counted from the day you're ready. The route is about 2,175 miles, roughly 32 hours of driving, and our drivers follow federal hours-of-service rest rules on the way. All times on this page are estimates, not guaranteed delivery dates. Your delivery window is confirmed in writing when you book.
Estimate and booking
A video or phone inventory review of your Los Angeles home, then a written estimate and your move date. Book 4–6 weeks ahead in summer, 2–3 weeks in the off-season.
Packing and loading day
Our crew protects floors, wraps furniture, packs what you ordered, takes beds and tables apart and loads the truck.
Cross-country transit
About 2,175 miles, usually east on I-10 and then I-20 across Texas and the Deep South into Georgia. Dispatch keeps you updated while the truck is on the road.
Atlanta delivery
We schedule the delivery window with you (and your building or HOA if needed), unload, place furniture room by room and reassemble standard items.
Leaving Los Angeles
I-405, US-101 and I-10 traffic shapes loading-day timing. Early starts help, especially for hillside homes and buildings with set move hours or loading-dock reservations.
Weather on the southern route
The I-10 / I-20 corridor rarely sees heavy snow, but desert heat in summer and occasional winter ice or Gulf Coast storms can slow transit. We route around major weather for safety and keep you updated on the estimated delivery window.

Is Cross Country Moving a broker or a direct carrier?
A direct carrier. Cross Country Moving LLC holds its own federal authority, USDOT #2022745 and MC #711417, and performs the move with company-owned trucks and our own employed crews. Your move is never sold to another company, and you can check our record on the FMCSA SAFER website.
How far in advance should I book my Los Angeles to Atlanta move?
Book 4–6 weeks ahead for May through September and for month-end dates, and 2–3 weeks ahead the rest of the year. If your Atlanta apartment or HOA needs a reservation or a certificate of insurance, request it as soon as you have a move date.
What is the cheapest way to move from Los Angeles to Atlanta?
Ship less: sell or donate what you won't use, pack non-fragile items yourself, and choose a mid-month date outside May–September when you can. Volume in cubic feet is the biggest cost factor on a cross-country move.
My Atlanta apartment or HOA has move-in rules. Can you work with them?
Yes. Send us your building's or HOA's requirements when you book. We schedule the delivery inside the allowed move hours, provide a certificate of insurance if one is required, and plan for gated entries, loading areas and elevator reservations in advance.
Can you store my belongings if my Atlanta home isn't ready?
Yes. If your closing or lease date doesn't line up with delivery, we can hold your shipment in storage-in-transit and deliver when you are ready. Storage is quoted separately in your estimate.
