Marietta, GA → Chattanooga, TN · Short-haul move
About 102 road miles heading northwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $1,880–$2,790, delivery in 1–2 days, 801 carriers on the Marietta side and 241 in Chattanooga.
The route from Marietta, GA to Chattanooga, TN covers roughly 102 miles by road, a northwest-bound trip that falls into the short-haul move category for pricing purposes.
Because the two cities are close together, most companies quote this move by the hour: a crew of two to four movers plus a truck, with the drive of about 2 h 28 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,880 and $2,790, before packing or storage.
On the Marietta side there are 801 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (372 of them authorized for interstate work), and 241 around Chattanooga (155 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 Chattanooga.
Marietta has a population of about 62,000 and Chattanooga about 194,144. Marietta is considerably denser (2,594 people per square mile versus 1,272), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Tennessee levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

About 102 road miles (87 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 2 h 28 min.
Expect a delivery window of 1 to 2 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 Tennessee 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 $250 to $360 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,110 to $1,630. 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 Marietta–Chattanooga corridor.
