Marietta, GA → Ithaca, NY · Long-distance move
About 862 road miles heading northeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $4,710–$7,010, delivery in 2–5 days, 801 carriers on the Marietta side and 98 in Ithaca.
Moving from Marietta to Ithaca is a long-distance move of roughly 862 road miles, heading northeast from Georgia to New York.
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 $4,710 to $7,010 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 2 to 5 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 15 h 34 min.
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 98 around Ithaca (36 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 Ithaca.
Marietta has a population of about 62,000 and Ithaca about 32,000. Ithaca is the denser city (5,958 people per square mile versus 2,594 in Marietta), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. New York is a higher-cost state than Georgia, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

About 862 road miles (730 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 15 h 34 min.
Expect a delivery window of 2 to 5 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 New York 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 $1,190 to $1,670 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,790 to $2,630. 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–Ithaca corridor.
