Moab, UT → Columbus, GA · Cross-country move
About 1,704 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $6,190–$9,200, delivery in 5–10 days, 1 carriers on the Moab side and 138 in Columbus.
Moving from Moab to Columbus is a cross-country move of roughly 1,704 road miles, heading east from Utah to Georgia.
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 $6,190 to $9,200 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 5 to 10 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 30 hours (4 driving days).
On the Moab side there are 1 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (1 of them authorized for interstate work), and 138 around Columbus (70 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 Columbus.
Moab has a population of about 5,000 and Columbus about 202,171. The two cities have comparable density (1,118 and 956 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.

About 1,704 road miles (1,444 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 30 hours (4 driving days).
Expect a delivery window of 5 to 10 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 Utah into Georgia 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 $2,350 to $3,320 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,540 to $3,740. 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 Moab–Columbus corridor.
