About Our Movers DC to Atlanta Moving Company
AT Movers — your road-tested movers from DC to Atlanta
From one family-owned truck to a modern fleet, we run this ~637-mile DC → Atlanta corridor every week. We plan truck-legal routes end-to-end—avoiding the Baltimore-Washington Parkway per NPS rules, breezing through Maryland’s all-electronic tolling, and using general-purpose lanes (not the I-85 Express Lanes) as required for multi-axle trucks. In Atlanta, we coordinate legal staging around the I-285 “Perimeter,” the I-75/85 Downtown Connector, and your building’s dock/elevator window so delivery runs like clockwork.
Licensed & Insured Interstate Movers DC → GA
We operate under USDOT #3455533 | MC #1126253 with $2M liability coverage—fully compliant interstate movers for your Washington, DC to Atlanta move. Learn more about us or get an instant online quote.
Permits, Parking & Building Access
In DC, reserve curb space through DDOT’s TOPS system and follow the moving-truck guidance. In Atlanta, lane/sidewalk closures and other right-of-way use require permits via the Atlanta DOT ROW portal (see lane closure permits and public parking program). We’ll coordinate with property managers for COIs, freight-elevator reservations, and dock hours.

Our Moving Process
Grasping The Moving Process With AT Movers: DC To Atlanta

Planning and Preparation
Get a free quote online, then call us for a short planning call to go over the inventory, dates, access (elevators, stairs, loading zones), and any fragile or special items. We’ll write down the steps for public space/TOPS in DC and the needs for ROW/parking in Atlanta, and then we’ll give you a written, binding estimate.
TIPS FOR THIS STEP:
- Make a list of what you want to take room by room 4–6 weeks before you leave.
- Give away or sell what you don’t want to take. This will make the lane shorter and cheaper.
- Ask buildings about their freight-elevator windows, loading-dock hours, and COI requirements in both DC and ATL.
- Sending a car? Plan your pickup around your delivery and load-out times.

Packing and Loading
We bring professional packing materials like double-wall boxes for glassware, picture and mirror crates for art, mattress bags, rug sleeves, and heavy-duty pads and stretch wrap for furniture. TVs are packed in the right boxes, and we take care of taking them apart and putting them back together as needed.
TIPS FOR THIS STAGE:
- Wardrobe boxes are great for hanging clothes because they make it easier to get in and out and keep clothes from wrinkling.
- Label each room and the three most important things in it. Use color coding to make staging in Atlanta go faster.
- Put together a first-night box with linens, toiletries, chargers, and a coffee kit, and keep it with you.
- Are you short on time? Add service for fragile items only or for the whole package.

Transportation and Delivery
We usually take I-95 to I-85 (which is legal for trucks) and avoid the Baltimore-Washington Parkway (which is not legal for commercial vehicles). In Maryland, we use all-electronic tolling to make the trip smoother. In Georgia, we use general-purpose lanes. Multi-axle trucks are not allowed in the I-85 Express Lanes. When we get there, we put the beds back together, set up each room, and clean up the packing materials.
Frequently Asked Questions
Cars take about 9 to 10 hours to get there; trucks take longer depending on traffic, access, and staging. Many movers will deliver the next day, and if you’re flexible, you can choose an economy window.

No. We use general-purpose lanes because vehicles with two or more axles and six or more wheels aren’t allowed in the Express Lanes.
