Alpharetta, GA → Louisville, KY · Regional long-distance move
About 346 road miles heading north. Typical two-bedroom cost $2,690–$4,000, delivery in 1–3 days, 1,260 carriers on the Alpharetta side and 401 in Louisville.
Moving from Alpharetta to Louisville is a regional long-distance move of roughly 346 road miles, heading north from Georgia to Kentucky.
At this distance carriers price by shipment weight and mileage rather than by the hour. A two-bedroom home (around 5,000 lb of goods) typically costs $2,690 to $4,000 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 3 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 6 h 40 min.
On the Alpharetta side there are 1,260 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (604 of them authorized for interstate work), and 401 around Louisville (245 interstate). For an interstate move you can book from either end; movers near the origin handle loading and are usually the better first call, while a destination-side company can be useful if you need storage or delivery-day help in Louisville.
Alpharetta has a population of about 68,000 and Louisville about 641,962. The two cities have comparable density (2,447 and 1,948 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.

About 346 road miles (293 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 6 h 40 min.
Expect a delivery window of 1 to 3 days after pickup. Carriers give a spread rather than a fixed date because long-distance trucks carry several shipments; a dedicated truck or expedited service shortens the window for an extra fee.
Yes. Crossing from Georgia into Kentucky makes this an interstate move, so the carrier must hold active FMCSA operating authority (an MC number) in addition to its USDOT number. The company cards on this page flag which carriers are authorized for interstate work.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $510 to $710 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,330 to $1,950. Both save money versus a full-service crew but you do the loading, and container transit can take longer than a mover's delivery window.
Rates are highest in summer and around the last days of any month, when demand peaks. Mid-month, mid-week and winter dates are usually quoted below the standard rate. Booking four to eight weeks ahead gives you the widest choice of carriers on the Alpharetta–Louisville corridor.
