About this route
About 17,385 people moved from New York to Georgia in each of the last two years, according to the Census Bureau's American Community Survey (21,998 in 2023, 12,771 in 2024). That is 3.9% of everyone who left New York for another state.
Only about 8,132 people a year go back from Georgia to New York, so demand here is mostly one-way. With trucks toward Georgia in steady demand, expect quick pickups and little room to haggle.
At a typical $1,000, shipping from New York to Georgia costs more than sending a car to South Carolina ($950) and North Carolina ($875) but less than to Florida ($1,175) and Missouri ($1,175). That works out to about $1.14 a mile.
The 880-mile run from New York to Atlanta takes 2–4 days on a carrier — short enough that driving yourself is a real option. The car heads southwest and stays on Eastern time the whole way.
