About this route
Why so many cars go from New Jersey to Georgia
About 6,555 people moved from New Jersey to Georgia in each of the last two years, according to the Census Bureau's American Community Survey (6,339 in 2023, 6,770 in 2024). That is 3% of everyone who left New Jersey for another state.
Traffic is lopsided: only about 1,814 people a year go the other way, Georgia to New Jersey. Trucks heading into Georgia fill up quickly, so pickups are usually fast — but carriers have less reason to discount in peak months.
How the price compares
At a typical $1,000, shipping from New Jersey to Georgia is one of the cheaper long moves out of New Jersey — Florida ($1,175) and Texas ($1,275) cost more. That works out to about $1.15 a mile.
Distance and transit time
Newark to Atlanta is about 870 road miles — 2–4 days on the truck. On a run this short, many people weigh shipping against driving it themselves. The car heads southwest and stays on Eastern time the whole way.
